Guess who’s back?

Here we are! Did you miss us? Did you cry for us in Argentina? Or in the corner of a crowded party? Did you hug your pillow every night hoping, better yet – praying, that this blog would start writing and maintaining itself?

We know we did.

Since we started our hiatus – our favorite word in the entire megaverse – we were checking this blog almost daily. Let us just see, maybe something happened there. We were expecting, someone to continue on with the legacy – “Here, we pass the torch to you, take it and write awesome posts with it here”.

But no posts, no pics, no recipes, no leftover-makeovers. Just some strange comments marked as spam, saying how notable this blog is. Well what you call spam we call undeniable truth.

Our little hiatus showed us that if it’s not for us, this place will crash and burn. Seriously, it’s just us? We can write whatever we want? Your ears fart and it smells like oil refinery.

Ooough that felt good to get off our chest.

And what’s our excuse?

During our time off at Gaical – a reliable bites EVERRRRRRRRRR- we were on 2 vacations, was also working in another city, went through some ups and downs, but bottom line: we were eating a lot crap, not cooking anything, not doing any sports aaaand we looked quite pregnant on the beach. 5-6-months-in-ish. Even though we wasn’t.

It was not the first time in our life someone asked us whether or not we were pregnant when we wasn’t. But this time we didn’t bother getting embarrassed, sad, mad or excited about all the attention. We didn’t bother justifying or bragging about our growing belly to some strangers. We just said with a little wink: “Yes, we are pregnant, but we don’t know who the father is…”.

Those people must’ve been thinking – “A dream beach body, a baby inside and a sparkling personality? We guess some of us can have it all.” we're just assuming that’s the impression people get from us, when they meet us. It’s pretty realistic.

A little update on our bad eating behaviour

We ate meat for the first time after six months when we were traveling for work. Vegetarian and fishy options were practically non-existent in the “restaurant” where we had lunch every day. For the first time in our life we saw a cook in the desperate need to prepare sauerkraut with bacon and to overcook and drown every other vegetable in animal fat. We could tell from the first bite – that guy hated vegans, pigs, cows, rabbits, dogs, cats, tigers, elephants, foreigners, himself…because that was an evil combo.

While eating that apocalyptic combo we started thinking that vegans and vegetarians are not just pretentious party poopers with eating disorders in denial that they need meat. We were so disappointed in myself – we didn’t want to eat meat after 6 months restriction! Just to paint you a picture how strange this was to us – we're pretty sure we've been breastfed with steaks and chicken thighs. We've always loved meat. Sure we've tried to eat less in the past, but we were never able to stop eating meat altogether. When we stop eating meat for a week – we would just eat a ton of meat the next week to balance it out. Not this time folks. This carnivore is filing for a well deserved retirement. No more chickens, pigs, beef or bacon in sauerkraut. Or other animals.

Don’t get us wrong, to us meat still tastes good. And we mean GOOD, but we just don’t crave it anymore and we're happy eating some rabbit food that’s a lot healthier. That’s what we're craving now, while sleeping with our eyes open and growing longer furrier ears.

One thing that we regret more than eating sauerkraut with bacon is drinking a lot of coffee. Coffee here, coffee there, breakfast, lunch, dinner, after midnight snack… we could drink that cup of dirty water any day, any hour, any minute. We could just inhale it, without even getting a little shaky or insomniac. Sometimes we didn’t even want to drink it. It had become a habit and we didn’t want to get rid of that habit.

Right now, we're grateful for that much coffee, because we hate it. We can honestly say we hate something, look at us all hateful and mean. We don’t care how many studies there are that say coffee is good for you – coffee gives us a head ache, we get dehydrated and a little paranoid. Besides it gives us cellulite, wrinkles and it’s bitter if we don’t drink it with 4 liters milk and 3 spoons of sugar. Coffee and we can never be just friends, so we’ll have to separate forever.

Those will be some tough winter months with tea.
