Honey, what's for dinner?

Whenever I'm not writing or arguing with people I expect to see my vison, I love to cook. I can never cook for myself because I enjoy the process of cooking far too much to fest on my creations. If anything, being a housewife relaxes me. Cooking and cleaning seem to make my nerves settle.
If I ever wanted to destroy my haven of the kitchen, I could write a cookbook. My cooking is centered around healthy food because I am a half-ass vegan. I can't have glutton or dairy as my body thinks it's fun to attack this food. But, this isn't a bad thing. My mother and I have made vegan friendly mac and cheese! We became pros at cooking fried rice as well as making salads.
I've come to love fruits and vegetables to the point of where I can no longer eat sweets because they are just too sweet! My favorite ice cream topping is balsamic strawberries. It's the perfect bit of tart to vanilla ice cream.
Now, if I could have a poetry cookbook, I would definitely include a piece on my strawberries. It would go something along the lines of;
 dice the sweet cones
the little red noses of gnomes
let them sweat in the sauna of a saute pan
pour their juices
naughty or nice
and etc.
But whenever I am in no mood to cook or simply want to enjoy food, I go to the Mercury Cafe. It is located on California in Downtown Denver. They specialize in vegan options as the kids now a days would call it a hipster cafe. The beauty of this place is the fact that it is crazy artistic just within itself. Every Friday they have poetry reading and the last Tuesday of every month, they have story night (both of which I signed up for.) The perfect nook for a poetry cookbook.

As much as we want to believe that writing is our imagination on paper, it boils down to the approval of others for publication and reading. Sure, if writing was what it once was --storytelling-- then panic attacks wouldn't be a problem, control would stay in our hands and only our hands, and maybe we wouldn't suffer like Alice. Alice, in Alice in Reality , lost control. She let the stress chip away until her addiction --escape method-- resurfaced. Drowning in her darkness. But there's hope! Not everyone has to become a teenage girl with weed for fingers and booze for hands. While writing especially, it's key to have fun and enjoy or else there's no point in calling this an art. So, here is my cheat sheet. Five things to do when hell is freezing over. 1. Light Inscents Editing can be one of the toughest things during a writing process especially when the edits are developmental. To this day, I refused to cut the micro-chapter in Alice simply because that scene ...

What's a body but 23 proteins? Taxes are coming up. Taxes blow when you don't expect to pay more money on top of the money you watch leave your paycheck. I was so worried when my mom told me that I might have to pay additional state taxes --I'm a student and have 25% of my check taken out already.  There are ways to write off expenses like for business or charity. There are also forms like the 1090T form that prevents broke college kids like me from becoming even broker. The new tax bill past at the end of 2017 is something of debate. I am all for lower taxes. If I can work my shift and have enough money for groceries --I am a happy clam. I work three jobs --Learning Assistant, Teaching Assistant, and restaurant employee. All of my jobs combined, I still have about $10,000 in credit card debt already. The current tax bill proposed calls for taxes cuts and decreased interest rates to encourage more spending. Our hope is to help the weak economy climb out of its hole. ...
