Fries: America vs. Europe

... I mean, I love fries as much as the next person, maybe even more.  Hell, I'll eat a potato any day, any time, any where!  I even eat ALL my fries before my wings when I go to Wing Stop or Buffalo Wild Wings.  But watching this today really opened my eyes as to how we as Americans are viewed in terms of food.  And we did it to ourselves.  We are always SO excited about how much we can pile on a plate, consume in little time, smear with cheese, deep fry, or smother with chocolate...
So I decided t watch a lil TV this AM. This chef from Twisted Root Burgers is making fries with a twist. Italian, American n French. Ingredients for the Italian? Fries, fresh grated Parmesan cheese, truffle salt, fresh cut chives (I think). American? Fries, chilli, n whiz cheese (both chilli n cheese were in a pot, cooking. Fresh or not, processed).  French? Fries, frozen blue cheese (grated)... didn't get the rest cuz they started talking. BUT, anything wrong with those recipes?? Yeah American Fries just screams heart attack! Only thing fresh was the fries..oh wait, it's been deep fried. Never mind. All others had light season you can see through.. Ours, not so much. And they were SO excited abt it too! "definitely American!" they say... #weneedachange. 
Here are the recipes.

You tell me, which one will you eat?  Personally, the Italian sounds way more appetizing out of the 3.  I feel like I should CrossFit for about an hour before eating the American then run for about 1hr after... lol

Oooo weeee!

So, I taught 4 out of my 5 classes today.  My very last one, adv adult hip-hop, I decided to let my home girl Bethany aka Ryder cover for me.  I might could have taught the class, but my lil body was saying "no no no no no..."  So, for one of very few times in my life, I decided to listen to my body.  Ha!  Actually, I've been doing that a lot lately.  I guess wisdom does come with age.  I mean, honey, when I'm tired I'm tired.  Plus I don't get ill often... so.... Plus, I just wasn't feeling well.  Sounding all hoarse and what not.  A headache here and there, an itchy throat here and there, a fever here and there... Geez!  My  body is so PMSing!  blah! 

Anywhoooooo, I went to see my boy Keith's new dig!  He's a LMT!!!  He worked hard and now has his own spot!  Revivify!  If you're in Dallas and you need a good massage, hit him up at revivify.massagetherapy.com!  Especially you dancers and performers.  He's a dancer and performer as well and KNOWS what's good for you!  Trust!

Well I better call it a night.  My mom's been bugging me about some cragislist postings she needs help with.  LOL.  That lady!  Love her!  She said she'd call when she got home... If she doesn't hurry up I'll be knocked out when she does call.  'Bout to take some Nyquil along with a huge glass of wine... Sure would like to STAY asleep the WHOLE night!  Yes sir!

Wow

I have not been for some time now, aside from a headache here and there.  The last week, this cold has threatened me and finally kicked my ass the last 2 days!  It's all good though.  I'm fighting right back and guess who's winning???  Yeah boiiii!!!!  ME!  Now off to my day!

Hey hey!

Hey hey there!  LOL.  People ask me often, where did you get that?  How did you do that?  What' your opinion on this?  Well, I'm not the smartest person, and definitely don't consider my opinions note worthy, but I like the idea of a blog.  Kind of like Facebook, except, I really don't care for anyone to make comments.  LOL.  I do so much, and thought a blog would be a good way to share my life, boring and exciting, with the world.  My opinions, my vulnerability, my madness... etc.  I really won't be holding back much... Sorry!  So, if you can't stand obscene language from time to time, honesty, and occasional talk about men and sex, ya might wanna not keep reading my blogs.  I'm recently turned 28 but look 15!  Ha!  Gotta love my life!  I'm no comedian but I love to laugh and crack jokes.  If you like to laugh, check back for some awesome goodness!  Keep an open mind! 

Anywho!!!  My name is Geena.  I'm a dancer, teacher, and inspirational junkie.  xoxo
