This Will Destroy You (Or Make You More Flexible)

My yoga count for the week is 1/2. Felt really great to get up this morning and really move for 30 minutes before starting the day. Music without words today; not just music, but the most beautiful wordless music out there. Might not be right for all, as they do get quite rocking in some songs, but I've found that the thicker/heavier/louder music spurs me on in my practice.

I think I'm developing a Pavlovian reaction to This Will Destroy You. Just listening to it makes me feel stronger and more in tune with my muscles and body. If only it were that easy, right?

So good. I suggest listening to 'Quiet' or 'Thread'.

Also (unrelated), I picked the first yield from our garden yesterday. One tiny vine tomato. I added it to our pasta sauce last night just so we could say we ate it. There are more tomatoes on the way, along with TONS of watermelons (the largest right now is as big as a fist), and jalapeños. The basil and oregano are always ready to go. I think my green peppers aren't going to produce; they look quite sickly, and my cucumber plant seems to have disappeared?

Pie Time

Finally! I awoke early enough this morning to finish the pie before work. It turned out delicious. Not necessarily the most appetizing looking pie (the filling is a bit watery), but it tastes great. And the crust is perfection; I subbed whole wheat flour for 1/2 C of the 2 1/2 C flour. Gave it a nice hearty taste. I'll be making another of these for a bbq/pool party on Sunday.


In non-pie news... I got fabric for one swap a few days ago. Hopefully I'll get that project washed and cut by Sunday. I'm angeling for this swap, so I want to get it done ASAP, as my partner has already been waiting for months. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

And my biggest accomplishment for today (yes, bigger than the pie) was getting our garden started. Husband and I spent a few hours at our community garden getting our plot ready and planting our first set of plants. This included tomatoes (-tas), green peppers, cucumbers, jalapeños, watermelon, cantaloupe, and several herbs. I'll be adding more as the week goes on, and in a few months, we'll have fresh produce!
