As anyone who knows me in real life can attest to, I'm a Chatty Cathy who rarely runs out of things to talk about. However, perhaps due in part to French excerpt I just translated, this evening I'm feeling completely uninspired. What to do? Google cures for writer's block, of course!
My personal favorite:
"Give up completely. Do so in the most writerly of ways by smacking your sweaty hand exasperatedly against your un-scholarly forehead, throwing your computer at the wall repeatedly until is explodes into flames, breaking your desk in half with several well-aimed elbow-drops, and finally chiseling onto the wall, in 3-foot-tall letters, the words “THE WORLD SHALL NEVER KNOW MY BRILLIANCE,” using only an old-fashioned #2 pencil and your teeth as a sharpener." (source)
Bad advice. I'm not going to give up if there's still food to talk about!
I bought a single avocado at Whole Foods yesterday, and today it was perfectly ripe. Time for guacamole!
I mashed the entire avocado with a few spoonfuls of salsa, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then spread it on two slices of Ezekiel sprouted bread. I didn't realize that I forgot to add the tomato I'd planned until I uploaded these pictures!
On the side, I had some lightly steamed carrot sticks, dipped into the hummus tub.
I love how dense and creamy avocadoes are. Filling, too! Of course, I still saved room for some non-dessert "dessert:"
Frozen red grapes + roasted unsalted almonds. A few peanut butter stuffed dates have slipped in since then, as well.
It's a good thing I have food to talk about, isn't it? :) Hope you're all having a great evening!
Do you ever get writer's block? How do you cure it?
