Okay, the title sounds weird, but it's staying. It's Monday, the weather is smashing, and I am embarking upon SUCH a good thing. This: The Taco Cleanse. Last week I had a damned awful cold which I'm still navigating my way up and away from, but in my internet roamings I did a search for vegan tacos and found *that*. And I started *that* today.
Straight up, it speaks to me. I'm sick of juice cleansing and fasting and hearing about how gluten is Satan. I'm a smidgen burned out on green smoothies, even though I do love them. (I just need a break. Not a breakup.) BUT - moving back into living at top volume from a recuperative 40% has me seeing a need for a rebooting cleanup of some sort. This makes sense. When I make tacos, my fillings tend to be whole foods that are easy-to-pronounce. Those combinations make the BEST things ever. Sweet potato and black bean? Oh, baby. Get in mah belleh! Zucchini, red beans, and mushrooms with cashew sour cream? C'mere. Now. But beyond that - tacos are fun comfort food for me. Will I get tired of tacos? Not likely. I once ate them for about three weeks straight without fully realizing it. I *get* the soultastic aspect of this as much as I *get* that as a dietary reboot, it can totally work.
I'll admit - that monster stack of white corn tortillas in my kitchen and first round of filling supplies is a little intimidating, though. It's been a long time since I expressed my inner kitchen wizard. I've been on whatever seems easiest and will keep me off my feet the most for a good while, my arsenal of seasonings has dwindled, and I really feel like I'm learning to really *cook* all over again. I didn't realize that until today when I went to make lunch and froze up. Ideas are one thing, but bringing those ideas to fruition? Uhhhh.....huh? How do I do that? That response surprised me. So there's another reboot aspect at play here - getting me back into the kitchen and doing something I love.
And the margarita supplements? Do I even have to address that? Get down with your hell yeah self. I'm seeing it as a requirement to go to the Mexican restaurant across the street from the studio on Saturday afternoon to have a margarita on their patio. I think calling it "Vitamin Time" sounds stellar. In fact, I think I'm going to do that. Saturday, after I get back into town from this amazing thing, I will be having Vitamin Time at Poblano's. Hells yesses.
(If I wasn't recovering from a cold, I would SO move Vitamin Time to today!)
(Margaritas have vitamin C, don't they?)
