Just a quickie post today.  What a weekend.  Bartending for weddings is kind of getting old, so I finally got my graduate school application fee paid for and sent.  What a huge relief.  For today, I want to address something that is pretty near and dear to my heart.  It is called "accountability". If you are not aware, it basically translates into "saying you will do something and getting shit done". I am so tired of hearing people talk a big game and in the end they have nothing to show for it.  Oh, I am so sorry you are tired.  I am so sorry it is hard or uncomfortable.  Here's what I say, "GET OVER IT>".  You are the only one who can make things happen for yourself.  It's Monday, get up off you ass and take over the world. 
Thank you.  That's all. 

Below is a recipe for "power bars" it doesn't suck.  Make them and use your gained energy to make something happen. 

1 cup whole almonds
1 cup pecans
1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
1 cup dried cherries
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp almond extract
1.4+2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
Process 1/2c almonds, pecans, and oats in food processor.  Process to fine crumbs then pour into a large bowl.  Roughly chop remaining pecans and almonds. Add the nuts, cherries, sesame seeds and mix well.
Combine honey, oil, salt, vanilla, and extract in a small sauce pan.  You can add some cinnamon if you want.  Over medium flame heat combination until the mixture foams and then for 15 seconds more. 
Pour honey mixture over the nut/oat mixture and press into an 8x8 pan lined with wax paper.  Chill for 4 hours.
