Celebrating the Day I Left the Good Life

Life's all about choices.

Twenty-three years ago I chose to leave the warm, safe environment of the womb, abandon my parasitic ways and take up breathing instead. I squeezed my way out and cried for independence.

Life's also about regret.

To remind me of how life will never be as good as it was during those 9 months my dear sweet mother gave me my birthday present this morning. A girl's gotta eat.

1 6 0z. can of diced olives
chopped fresh cilantro
splashes of Italian dressing
squirts of lime juice
minced garlic to taste
don't forget the chips!

2. Add cilantro, dressing, juice and garlic to taste.
3. Store in the fridge and mix again before serving.

*I like this recipe because it wasn't. So play around, whatever you feel in the mood for, or don't, add or take it out at will. Food is fun, and this experimentation tastes better than my dad's.
