Today:

I sat next to another Soccer Mom and knit while watching my daughter’s first soccer game of the season. I truly feel like an interloper at these sporting events. I could list on and on why: I have the shittiest car in the parking lot, I often am sitting on the grass getting wet instead of packed into North Face and cozy under a big umbrella, I tend in conversation to immediately be espousing controversial ideas instead of trading in niceties, I am not a screamer urging my kids to GO GO GO GET ON IT MOOOOOVE SHOT! SHOT! – et cetera. That said it is a delight to watch my daughter play; as in everything she does, her spirit shines forth. She worked hard today and I took her out afterwards for cheesy bread, tomato soup, and a Sprite. My husband told us he woke early and while he cuddled my son he watched me sleep for a while. He told us I looked “beautiful… her hair was perfect, and her face looked so beautiful”. I told him thank you, but not before I had to make an amusing crack at the fact I am so much prettier when my beak is shut, right? Ralph assembled the IKEA furniture J. and I shopped for last night (my first time at IKEA and yes, I had their meatballs; tasty enough but mine are better). When he went off to band practice he left all the packaging out on purpose for Hammy the kitten to totally tear the hell out of the business. I mean she really ripped the lid off of it. I brought my grandpa hardtack and my mom some hazelnut chocolate I bought from the abovementioned; the two were deep into their nightly wine-drinking and watching Casablanca and totally in the catbird seat. Haven’t got up to the sexiness with the husband in a while; today watched Antichrist and now I’m not sure I’ll ever want to again. Also Lars von Trier, that was a total piece of uber-misogynistic dogshit, I don’t care how brilliant you’ve convinced yourself you are (the fox part was pretty good tho’). I am about to collapse with exhaustion. In the last week and a half it seems the days I don’t eat red meat I feel quite fatigued. This is a bit daunting as I don’t know how to prepare red meat (what cut to buy and how to cook it), I don’t really want to eat steak dinners out daily, and pasture-finished cruelty-free beef is hard to come by around here unless you buy half a cow and I never have the money nor the freezer and remember that part about not being good at cooking red meat. |
Fin.
but how was Willem Dafoe (favored actor in a short list)? Is it worth it for a fan of the Dafoe collection or is it just too Lars Von Trier for my time? That Lars- he’s a smug buddy!
@luckychrm
Willem Dafoe (who is awesome and I totally find sexiful besides) was great; so was the lead actress Charlotte Gainsbourg. But it really was too repellant for me to recommend it. “smug” is a great word BTW.
Was it a scary movie? I’m going to have to look into it. And I find that cooking an inexpensive roast in the crockpot with broth until it’s all pull-aparty is a good way to get a lot of red meat in the refrigerator and you can eat it day after day without getting tired of it. At least I can.
I love Willem Dafoe too! Liked him in lot when he played in the Wooster group, then you got to see him life on stage… But I did not manage this movie, could not watch it.
It is the protein you crave probably, so a lot of yoghurt, raw milk cheese, raw milk (if you can get), fish, eggs and fowl will work as well. At least it does for me. Protein to carb ratio 1:2 in morning and afternoon, 1:4 in the evening (to be able to sleep again).
There’s a lot of Scandinavia going on in this post. Oh, Lars.
You have a good Swedish meatball recipe?! Share!
