WIAW: The Random Day Edition

February 25, 2015 by Meghan 39 Comments

Things have been a tad bit interesting in Meghanville this week.  

Maybe even a bit too dramatic, says the girl who just named a village after herself.

The very short version of this tale is the Hubby got in a wowzer of a car accident on his way back to school on Monday. He was the all too sweet and succulent cream filling in a dangerous and dastardly semi/snowplow sandwich, with nary a whole grain in sight. I suspect GMO’s were involved.   

While our car and the curry he was transporting did not fare so well, the Hubby for all intents and purposes remains fully intact, including his man parts. I know you were concerned. Believe me, I get it. Can you imagine how boring this blog would be and how much my writing would suffer if my needs weren’t being met? Yep, it’s damn scary, which is why I’m happy to report the Hubby is alive and well and already back at school, studying away for his latest Pharmaceutics exam with bananas in tow. You read that right.

Along with the Hubby, my favorite phallic fruit survived the wreckage. Surely it’s a sign. Of what, we still don’t know, but amid the craziness of that day, this little and lone banana made us laugh, a lot.

Car Accident and Public BananaThe purpose of over sharing my personal life is to say I don’t have much of a blog for you today. My brain’s been on a roller coaster ride with a shot of adrenaline stronger than an any espresso I’ve ever downed, followed by the inevitable mental collapse. While I may not have a lot of words, I have food. In fact, I will always have food, which is why I’m joining Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday link up and sharing a random day of eats from back in December. Yes, I have yet to be shared pictures of all my eats from two months ago. Welcome to the weird life of a food blogger.

And away we go.

Breakfast: coffee crack and a Coconut Cranberry Smoothie.

Beverage Breakfast - Coffee and Coconut Cranberry Smoothie

Lunch: a scrambled egg wrap with sautéed onions, radishes, cheese and cherry tomatoes.

Snacks: a bite of Apple Coffee Cake from the Breadsmith followed by another apple, this time dipped in peanut butter.

Apple Coffee Cake and PB CollageDinner: a bowl of Winter Vegetable Minestrone Soup with a Butternut Squash Cheddar Drop Biscuit and a Flourless Double Chocolate Brownie for dessert.

Dinner and Dessert (Minestrone Soup, Biscuits and Brownies) Collage

There you have it; a random day of food with a side of car accident. By the way, if you can’t already tell, humor is one of my defense mechanisms. It’s like swaddling yourself in a blanket of laughter. It works for me.

What’s one of your defense mechanisms?

    Oh man, I can’t even imagine how scary that was. I’m glad he’s okay and that the power of the #publicbanana prevails.

    As far as defense mechanisms go, humor isn’t a bad one to have. That is definitely mine and my family’s MO (with a heavy dose of sarcasm). When my dad was in the hospital, I’m pretty sure the staff thought we were all nuts. But as my mom always said during that time, “After all the crying, sometimes it’s better to choose laughing instead.”

      I like the way your mom thinks, and I do believe laughter can be the best medicine. Percocet isn’t bad either, in a pinch if course. 😉

    Seriously so glad he’s okay. So, so scary! And humor is one of my favorite defense mechanisms as well. I completely get it!

    As for your food, there’s too much goodness there to pick my favorite thing you ate! But I’ll choose the egg wrap and brownies maybe. Definitely those brownies!

    I swaddle myself in 120 pounds of assorted dog. It’s just peachy, except if I’ve had a couple of hard ciders and really really need to pee.
    The photos on FB freaked me out, but I’m very glad I saw the happy couple together first. I’ve shared them with my at-some-point-driving-in-the-now-more-distant-future teens to remind them that random freak things can happen.
    Give the man a gentle hug for me, and give yourself a sturdy and hard one from me.

      I did swaddle myself in the cats and a glass of wine when I got home Monday night. Then I passed out hard.

      Yeah, those pictures are super hard to look at. It’s why I opted not to share them here. They still make me shudder.

      Hug gratefully accepted. 🙂

    Ha. I’m sorry to hear about the wreck, but if I had to hear such horrible news, I’m glad it was told to me in such a comical way. (Reminds me of one of my fav movies, Robin Hood Men in Tights, when the guy tells the king bad news while laughing to make it sound like good news. Sorry, there’s always room for a Mel Brooks reference.) I’m glad the hubby is doing okay.

    On another note, I need that apple coffee cake in my life 🙂 I just started using Cashew milk in my coffee and I HIGHLY recommend it. I’ve been using almond milk for years and I feel cashew milk is (Handsdown!) way better.

    By the way, I’m hosting a #WIAW party over on my blog, please feel free to join us! Link up at the bottom of my current WIAW post. I’ll be doing it every week.

    wowzers that’s amazing and glorious that he is okay!!! sorry i was a little thrown into a temporary description (daydream?) of cream filling until i digested your words fully… holy crap, an accident involving a human. i’m just glad your human hubby is okay, and the banana was totally worth taking a photo of. poor curry though…

    humor is my coping mechanism, truly. it has been food but it has ALWAYS been humor. we have a sick and dark comedic family. masters of the dark arts of laughter when things are sinister and seriously wrong… my friends and hubb understand me, that’s all that matters eh?
    when i found my biological father when i was 23 yrs old, i also discovered that he had sprinkled his man-seed around the fu$@ing globe. and so i found 9 other siblings, all of us sharing his blood. so of course after the initial WTF omg and holy crap’s, we made t-shirts… COT: Children of TED. and on the back “WE LOVE roasTED nuts”
    don’t ask, you really don’t have time to know the whole story. alcohol is required. xx

      I get it and having friends and a hubby who understand really does make a big difference. I don’t even need alcohol to understand that one. It’s probably how I would have handled the same situation. In fact, I think it’s rather genius.

    My defence mechanism is to be an organiser – I try and plan and solve everything – otherwise I just burst into tears!!

      You’re right I didn’t want to let him go back to school. I wanted to keep him here with me so I can mother hen over him a bit. In fact, I gave him a hard time last night for not taking care of himself the way I’d like him too.

      I’m an organizer too, so I can relate to this one 100%! I never thought of it as a defense mechanism before but damned if you didn’t hit the nail on the head.

    Humour is one of my defense mechanisms as well. Probably my most powerful one. They do say that laughter is the best medicine, so I’m wondering if that refers to it being similar to an anti-anxiety drug as well. Probably better because you don’t get all the nasty side effects. I’m super glad that your man is okay and in tact, and the banana as well. Referring to the one left lying on the ground, obviously 😛

I have this crushing fear of car accidents. But thank goodness your hubster is alright – and back to studying already? Yeesh, he should at least milk a few days off out of it!
