Hate Is A Strong Word...

Happy Monday folks!  I just got home from a sweaty yoga sesh at OM, but I feel pretty great :)
The hubby was supposed to be home tonight, but he got extended and they switched his days off, so he's coming home tomorrow instead.  I'm okay with it though, because he gets two nights off instead of the originally scheduled one, so I'll call it a win!  I guess puppers and I are flying solo once again though. 

I just reheated some left overs since I was ravenous upon getting home from class. 



This was some Asian goodness.  Saturday night I made my friend Michelle and I lettuce wraps for dinner.  I make several fillings, and you can pile them all in a piece of lettuce to eat.  It's one of my go-to entertaining people recipes.  They are always impressed and have fun filling their lettuce leaves with the various fillings.  Sometimes I also grill meat if I have definite meat eaters over, although, everyone who's tried my tempeh this way has liked it (or lied to me!). 
I got lazy with the leftovers tonight and opted to go sans lettuce so this was a mixture of all of the fillings with some spinach on a plate. 
Basically my fillings consisted of:
-grated tempeh and grated carrot, sauteed in a little oil with some garlic, ginger, and soy sauce
-chopped onion and chopped bok choy sauteed in a little oil with soy sauce
-peanut noodles



Ok, on to the 30 Day Challenge.  Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

I think the 30 Day Challenge is getting harder!  I had to rack my brain for a while to think of something I hate.  Hate is such a strong word.  There are few things I really HATE in life.  Here's a short list of a couple things that spring to mind...


Bad Drivers.  That means people that drive too slow, too fast, tailgate, cut you off, straddle two lanes, and general do a crappy job driving.

Feet.  No doubt, my BFF Jen, will comment about this one if she reads this post!  It's been a life-long thing with me, that I don't like feet.  For the longest time I didn't even like my own feet and avoided wearing sandals.  I just feel like feet are a really dirty, yucky part of the body, and I'm not a fan.  Yes, I realize I'm weird about it...

Aside from the fact that I need to re-do my pedi, my feet are really veiny, huh?



People who microwave fish at work!  WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT???  Don't be that person!! It's just inconsiderate and the smell is sooooooooooo gross!  Ewwww!


Cinnamon flavored liquor.  Basically it's the classic story of drinking too much of it and getting horribly sick.  Can't even stand the smell of Goldschlager, Fire and Ice, or any of that stuff.  Yuck!




GAG!

Snakes.  Enough said right??  Also, sorry to those of you I scared with this picture.  I'm okay with snake pictures, but I will scream and run away like my butt is on fire if I see one of these creatures anywhere near me.  Including little ones, and even dead ones in the road.  Hate me some snakes...


That's about all I can think of right now for things I hate that can be pictured.  I obviously hate injustice, intolerance, mean people, oh, and I sometimes hate the airlines for what they've put my husband through.  It's a fairly short list though.  I think there's a lot more things I love than hate, and hope you guys feel the same way!

I don't like eyebrows (I suppose it's that I find maintaining them obnoxious), so I won't judge you on not liking feet.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth when I saw the Goldschlager bottle! Gag! Drank way to much of that in college and I can't even stand the thought of it now! On the other hand, I don't mind feet, as long as they aren't ugly feet. haha!

Joanna said...

Cassie said...

I dislike snakes as well! Also spiders... but def snakes!

Alaina said...

I hate vanilla vodka! And I had the same bad college experience which made me hate it. I gag when I smell it.

Ugh I hate it when people cook smelly things at work! Fish is definitely the worst because it always smells really disgusting reheated! Ick!

Saa said...

"I have a petpeeve about feet. They're dirty and gross and I hate 'em." -Britt recording a quote on my old Mac computer. circa 1990! I can't drink mudslides because of a bad college drinking experience. My sister's work does not allow employees to eat fish at work because it makes the salon and spa smell (even if they don't microwave it)! Funny post, Britt! -Jen T.

OMG, microwave fish at work?!?! I think that'd be on my hate list too... I've never exprienced that though! I can only imagine the horror... aaaack!

alison said...

I hate feet too, especially MY feet! How ironic that we got pedicures together without knowing this :)

Megan D said...

And thank you so much for your comment on my blog about long distance relationships... it always helps to know others are going through it too!
