No folks.. I’m not over here, chopping up little hotdogs and mixing it with some gelatinous bean mixture. I’m talking about my buddy, my pal, my paisano, Frank Sinatra. And I’m talking about easily one of my favorite dishes, and easiest to make I might add, Pasta e Fagioli--Pasta and BEANS.
Been back to keeping a super intense focus on my health and wellness, as you can see by my yoga posts the past few days. It has been a stressful past few days--I got some news from my doctor that wasn’t too great and really put me in a dark place. Super stressed, super angry, super sad. Well--excuse my language--but what the fuck kind of life is that to live.
So today, feeling inspired by the beautiful yet cold weather we’re having here in North Jersey, I decided today would be a “soup” day. While Pasta e Fagioli is not technically a soup, it’s close enough. So I started out my day with a little Yoga to meditate and focus my energies for the day, then I went to the gym to get a little more intensity in. Note to self, do not work out hardcore, then stop for like 3 days and think that you’ll be tip-top shape when you return... cause you won’t. Anywho, then I needed to get a haircut before I go to my cousins wedding this weekend so off to Supercuts I went--yes, I go to Supercuts. I’m a 28 year old male who tries so hard to take care of himself and look “good” and I get my haircut at Supercuts cause it’s cheap. So sue me...
Then I got some groceries for my cooking tonight and came home. I don’t know how ya’ll feel but I need to set the mood when I cook, workout, clean, etc. Good music is always key--who better than Frank Sinatra for my Italian inspired evening. He’s giving me LIFE.

Lessons learned today: Yoga is great. I may not be the most flexible person in the world but I’m learning to let go of that and just be. Meditation is wonderful. And being Italian is a wonderful thing.
