Bitchin’
Bitchin’: (as defined by Merriam Webster): slang : remarkably good or cool.

Let me point out some things that are NOT bitchin’:
Taking a two hour nap instead of running like your training plan dictates
Waiting for two hours in the Toyota dealer while your oil gets changed
Making plans to run a marathon with your BFF in Disney World in January
Having to work on-call this weekend
And some things that are bitchin’:
NAPS.
running like a boss
Being self-hosted (as of tomorrow! woo!)
Having an awesome magazine to read as you wait for your car
Mama Pea’s Book
Making plans to run a marathon with your BFF in Disney World in January
Coupons in the mail
Bitchin’ Sauce
Let me back up a bit.
Yes, I did take a nap today instead of running which turned out to be a super silly thing to do because my BFF and I decided we’re going to run the Disney Marathon in January. Yes, we’ve officially lost it and yes, I did fall asleep in my running clothes so at least I had the right intentions?
Yes, I did get my oil changed today and I was sitting in the dealership for longer than I had anticipated but I did have a beautiful magazine to read and it was highly entertaining and now I want to move to Italy.
Yes, I FINALLY got Mama Pea’s book today and yes, I am absolutely loving it so far. It’s her blog in print form and it’s hilarious and glorious and delicious all rolled into one.
Yes, I did get around to re-creating bitchin’ sauce. I first discovered it in San Diego and it was basically love at first taste. (If you live on the west coast, GO FIND IT. So worth it.) It is a vegan, gluten free, almond-based sauce that goes with literally anything. I dumped some almonds, grapeseed oil, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, vinegar, garlic, chipotle chili powder and soy sauce into my food processor and blended it up. It’s not perfect, still a little thick, but it’s getting there. A little more tinkering here and there and it will be close enough for my taste. I think I need to blanch the almonds or maybe soak them a bit longer?
So far I’ve eaten this sauce in several wraps, atop salad, with a veggie burger and with rice. Versatile, I’m telling you.
Have I mentioned I’m going to Disney World in January? And while I’m there I’m going to run 26.2 miles?
I’m going to go pass out now.
