Michelle is always telling me about her organic creations, one of them being kale chips. It sounds good to me, so I decided to give it
a shot. I’m doing this new challenge where I cook and experiment with two new
ingredients each week. This week being kale to make kale chips and I made
guacamole for the first time earlier in the week! Both came out delicious.
As I'm walking over to the produce section to find my ingredients, I grab one of those plastic bags and awkwardly cram the kale into it. Than a woman walks up to me...
Joan: Is that kale?
Joan: Is that kale?
Me: Yes it is! I’ve never tried it before, but I hope it
tastes good!
Joan: …It doesn’t. It’s really bitter. *reaches for
lettuce* that’s why I eat this stuff
Me: Uh oh! Well my best friend makes kale chips and says
they're really good, so I hope they taste better that way!
I smile at her, continue browsing and walk over to the fresh fruit. As I’m drooling over the price on strawberries, Joan walks up to me, grabs me around the waist and whispers in my ear:

Joan: “raspberries are better for your sex drive.”
I looked at her and started cracking up.
This woman looked like she was in her mid-60s and I seriously wish she was my
grandma.
It gets better! We cross paths in the dairy section and she
sarcastically asks “are you following me around the store?” I laughed, we exchanged
names and then she goes “wow, if I was younger, I would be all over you!” I was
laughing so hard but didn't have any clever comebacks.
I love when old ladies mack on me in the grocery store, it's such a turn-on. I hope we cross paths again one day Joan, you sassy little pistol.

Anyways, the kale chips turned out surprisingly good! I drizzled
some olive oil and Italian breadcrumbs on top and vwala! 30 minutes in the
oven and you’ve got yourself an uber healthy snack.
With the help of friends, family, watching documentaries and
doing online research; I’m becoming a health nut. Growing up, I was always thin
and relatively fit, so I never thought twice about what I put into my body. But
with age, comes wisdom, and with my recent discovery of how many GMO’s and
preservatives the food industry coats our food with, I’m changing my ways. Michelle
is slowly becoming completely organic and I am following in her footsteps.
I intend to live a happy, spiritually-filled, fun life. Eating completely organic, I want to grow an immaculate
garden and know exactly what I'm eating. Join a meditation and yoga studio
(possibly become a certified yoga instructor one day), produce amazing artwork,
and make a change in the world through healthy foods and artwork. I’m getting goose
bumps just thinking about it! Art is my talent and yoga and healthy eating are
my passions. Combing the three will make me the happiest guy alive.
I hope you all have a happy and healthy weekend.
My newest obsession:
You're such a free loving hippie at heart <3
