Hey guys! How’s your day been?
I have been a CLEANING MACHINE– lurve a sparkly casa 🙂
The puppers watched idly as I swiffered and dusted.
(Haha see Viesa’s fried chicken basket toy?? She loves that thing)
I also busted out the chef’s knives to get the rest of the prep work done for tonight,
which makes me reminiscent of these days…
minus all of the times I cut myself chopping things at 105degrees 😉
Here’s a pic of the raw calamari before breading it and putting it into the dehydrator to crispify.
It’s mushrooms!!! (MUSHROOM! MUSHROOM!)
Not raw fish… I don’t think I could roll like that. Or even find a non-sushi fish in Valdosta that I would be comfortable eating raw 😉
Some random eats:
Juice action:
Almond butter + jelly (1/2 a piece came off when I was chiseling off a piece of frozen millet. It was destiny)
Salad beast:
This morning’s yoga practice started this day off on such a *good* note- I’ve felt extra mellow all day. Why haven’t I had yoga in my life recently?? No idea, but it’s back now 🙂
Time to shower my stinky face and get dressed.
See ya with a girls night re-cap 😀
xoxo,
Gina
Something to do: Last chance to hit up the Garlic Gold Sale! You get 8 shakers for $21 (4 different flavors) – it ends tonight. Thank you so much to those of you who have gotten in on the garlicky action <3
Something else to do: Please leave a comment with your blog address if you’d like. (edited to say: omit the “www” if ya can, it will keep your comment from going into the spam folder. For example, fitnessista.com instead of www.fitnessista.com) I deleted my blogroll -it was cluttering the side of my blog and I want to increase it- and will be creating a new blogroll on its own page. I won’t be able to add all of the URLs that you guys post (there are so many blogs out there!) but I would love reminders of my favorites and can’t wait to check out some new ones.

OK I was seriously wondering what the calamari was! Hah! It all makes sense now. 🙂 I can handle the mushrooms. Did you buy your chef’s knives or did you get them at 105 Degrees?

Your Casa is BEAUTIFUL!
thank you 🙂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets a sense of satisfaction from cleaning!!
Here’s my blog: http://lexd.wordpress.com. I am still debating whether or not to put up pics from Memorial Day weekend 😉
I always joke that Valdosta has onions, but my friend reminds me it’s vidalia. You do have peanuts:)
Glad to hear you’re up on the yoga, I am getting into pilates and I luhvs it.
Stretch ya lata!

You have an absolutely beautiful home – just enough decor and no clutter. And the puppers look so cute with their heads tilted like that – in unison! I was glad to see your calamari was actually mushrooms – I’ve tried it 3 times and I just don’t like it. I always try something more than once, just in case I got a bad sample . . . if I still don’t like after 3 times, it’s off my list! Take care.

I love that idea for the “raw calamari.” You are always so creative with raw foods. I want to do more but sometimes get stuck in a rut of eating raw salads. I really need a dehydrator.

The house looks amazing! I love your kitchen.

Thanks for adding me to your new blog page!
I have to agree with the ‘your house looks *insert fabulous adjective here*’ comments – so pretty!

Now, excuse me, I gotta go get me some GARLIC!!
That’s exactly the type of kitchen I’m looking for when I get to live in a house again some day. Apartment kitchens just lack that beautiful expansive counter. I had a kitchen once that was half the size of your island counter part. Probably more like a third. Ouch.

Sad, I don’t think my comments are going through. 🙁
Ok apparently it’s going through now. Silly internet.

Don’t you feel so much more productive when you have a clean house?! Such a good feeling.

Have fun tonight! I agree, there is something that makes me so happy and calm about a nice and clean house.

Like Carrie, I tried commenting but it didn’t go through…
I wanted to say that the raw calamari is an awesome idea! I might have to steal that one. And, I hope girls night is a blast, my organic red wine loving friend. 😀

What a nice looking house you have there! You’ve probably never seen my blog, but thought I’d leave my URL anyway! : ) http://www.mmegoblog.blogspot.com
I also love a sparkling casa! Beautiful!

There is nothing like the feeling of a sparkly clean casa. Unfortunately my kids don’t feel the same way. 😉
Have fun at girl’s night! Everything you’re making sounds so delicious! You’re friends are so lucky 🙂
You’re house is beautiful…and you’ve just motivated me to do a clean sweep of my room! A laundry mountain has planted itself there and I’m beside myself trying to figure out how to get rid of it. 😉
And here’s to hoping you stop by my blog once in a while!

I was totally confused by your raw calamari at first! Can’t wait to see the finished product.

I feel like a total slacker now…I’ve been meaning to clean my (tiny, 300SF) apartment all day, and haven’t done it yet!
I don’t comment all that often but I have your blog in my reader! Mine is eatdrinkrun.wordpress.com if you want to check it out. 🙂

Mushroom “calamari” sounds amazing! Also, this might be a dumb question but what are those pine looking greens in your salad?
dill 🙂
weird…my comment disappeared! 🙁

Have tried the mushroom calamari, with trumpet mushrooms and it was gross. You’ve inspired me to try again!
Can’t wait to see how the raw calamari turns out! Would love to be added to your blog roll, you are on mine!

I’m making mushrooms for dinner too!
Here is my blog: http://couponclippingnutritionist.blogspot.com?
It is mostly product reviews!
Sometimes I think a good yoga sesh and a clean house are the keys to internal balance. 🙂 This theory lasts until I come back from a long sweaty run and start pulling clothes off, dropping them everywhere.
A life in progress, I guess!

Nothing better than a clean house!! You’ve inspired me to get to work on mine tonight! 🙂
I love a clean casa more than anything. Ahh, hard with a 10 mos. old and big doggie.

want to come clean our Casa? The hubs is about to leave for a few weeks of racing and he seems to throw stuff everything and call it “packing.” Eek! I love a good clean house!

p.s.
Loved the article on the dirtiest fruits. Such a good reminder before I go grocery shopping.
I really thought the mushrooms were calamari, and was amazed at how solid and dry they looked raw! Your casa looks beautiful, that cleaning really paid off! Bloggy address is uneviesaine.blogspot.com
