Jetta Vegas, of RadicalUprising, was kind enough to write a guest post food themed '7 ways
to kick this week's ass' for my blog a few months ago. Her weekly
post is one of the few blog features that I read regularity, and that
offers me inspiration. I am not a particular expert or proponent of
PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) but I enjoy reading her positive
statements about living. As this is the week of Christmas, a season
that I particularly enjoy, I thought I would share with you the ways
in which I plan to kick this week's ass!
Have a handmade
holiday. Handmade presents offer an alternative to corporate
control while simultaneously allowing the presents to be uniquely
tailored to the recipient. Even a non-cooking person can create some
amazing homemade gifts for their loved ones. Think homemade vanilla
extract or spiced nuts.
Decorate sugar
cookies in the style of childhood. Bakeries (and accomplished
home bakers) are churning out some amazing, artistic, beautiful sugar
cookies. Those cookies might be beautiful but so is Picasso so let
your inner child out and pile the sprinkles on those cookies!
Eat well, but
remember how blessed you are. The winter season is a series of
events that allow, and encourage, us to eat to excess. There are a
few big meals, desserts, and plenty of hot chocolate in my future
this season but it is important to remember that eating well on a
daily basis (never mind the excess of holidays) makes us extremely
blessed.
Try
new desserts. There are several
amazing traditional desserts that are not very popular in North
America. How about pizzellas, rosettes, or ebelskivers?
Savour.
This season is full of special
moments that deserve your full attention. We celebrate Christmas in a
different way each year so it is especially important that I savour
each moment during the holiday, because they will not be repeated.
How are you kicking this holiday's ass?
