The dog days of summer are getting old with our temps back to triple digits and clearly dogs don’t like them either.
My cat waits on the couch all day to take his frustrations out on anyone stupid enough to pass – me.
I have plenty of my own frustrations this week with stress, work madness, and a to do list I haven’t had the time or energy for with everything else going on. And the work calls I got way to early this morning. And a hummus recipe gone wrong.
I had a head of cauliflower to use up and decided to get creative with a raw hummus recipe for it. And well, it was an over-garlicy bitter pate – ick!
Opps. At least the rest of my meal was good and there’s always protein smoothies to fall back on.
I wish I had a great recipe post, but this one needs tweaking! So how about my ABC’s instead?
