Saturdays are fantastic...I mean, when you can really appreciate them. My favorite Saturdays are always in the fall. I noticed the first bradford pears changing color yesterday...I love it. Such beauty in death.
So, my obsession...yes, I have many obsessions really. I typically don't do anything half-heartedly, so I guess that's why they become obsessions. I think this one is innocent enough...veggie wraps! Here's the story behind them...
Over the summer, my friend Janna had purchased a sub from Subway. It was a veggie delight, and she had an extra half. I hadn't eaten all day, and I was starving. So, she offered the other half to me. I instantly fell in love...I really don't know why. So, since my "Operation New Life" started, I've been on a primarily vegetarian diet. I wasn't intending to at first, but now it's just easier. I was on the run due to rehearsals, and so I would stop off at Subway for a 6" veggie delight. Last weekend, I decided to try to make my own version of the sandwich at home.
Basically, it's a whole wheat tortilla, 1 piece of american cheese, spinach, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, onion, splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Voila! I love it! But, now I have a new problem...that's all I want to eat! I eat it for lunch and dinner...every day! In fact, I just had one...I crave them. Oh well...
Since it's so beautiful out, I'm going to the park to draw. I haven't really done any drawings in 1 1/2 years. I'm starting to feel this creative surge through me that wants to get out...words and images are just constantly coming to me.
Have a fabulous autumn day!

You aren't the only one who has food obsessions. A few months ago, I was taken cans of green beans and eating them at work. That was all I wanted to eat. I go through cycles. They just expect me to eat something moderately weird for a long period of time.
As of yesterday, I'm alternating the olive oil and balsamic vinegar with hummus. I just spread a little on, and it becomes a new fantastic veggie masterpiece in my mouth!
your veggie wrap sure does sound good. I want one too now :)
