This weekend my phone drowned in grape juice. It was still working after but acting all drunk. And the camera was all filled with fluid.
This entire weekend is a blur.

TOVA’S MUCHNESS PIC OF THE DAY
I’ve never shared a recipe on here before but here goes. The easiest yummiest healthiest recipe for greens you’ll ever see. Wait. Greens? Like, lettuce? No. Like collards or kale- that stuff you look at in the grocery and think “yuck” and “who eats that?” and “ew- must be buggy”….
Anyhow. Here goes:
1- chop
2- wash
3- sauté in a little water. Remove from heat.
4- while greens sauted make a mixture of these three things. Whatever proportions you want so it’s pasty.
5- pour on hot greens and mix
6- eat
7- thank me for showing you how to bring healthy greens in your diet without covering it in mayo and butterfat like Paula Dean would.
Here’s a pic of the finished product. Complete with tempeh, portobella mushroom and onion pizza on a cornmeal crust.
TOVA’S MUCHNESS PIC OF THE DAY
This morning on the way to work I passed a guy I know. I haven’t seen him in a few years. He’s hot. He’s very cool. Hip. Young. If I was single and a cougar he’d be great arm candy.
The last time I saw him I remember being mortified by my appearance. I was wearing dirty sneakers, jeans that were too long and THAT sweatshirt. Ya know the one. The one with the ratty cuffs and worn down elbows and a dinginess that never goes away. The cozy one that should never be seen in the light of day by another human being besides the person who perhaps holds the dustpan while you sweep the kitchen on a Saturday morning cleaning frenzy. That one. Yes. I was wearing it to a restaurant on a Saturday evening.
So today, I passed by this guy and thought “oh- I’m pretty sure that’s him”… And then I thought- “I should keep walking. He looks good and I’m intimida—- WAIT!!! No I’m not intimidated!!! I’m wearing a teal satin jacket and gold leggings and purple shoelaces! No one intimidates me when I’ve got my Muchness!” and I said hi.
And ya know what? He didn’t recognize me! Until he did. And then he said I’d looked familiar as I passed him but the clothes threw him for a loop. And I agreed. Yup. I got a lot going on in this outfit. My Muchness is showing.

Todays Muchness caught me off guard!
Inspired by Dennels comment yesterday, that I will know if the shoes are Much or Too Much if I cant stop smiling when I put them on. I decided to wear this dress that I bought for just that reason. I could not stop smiling when I put it on, so I bought it. I wore it with on a date last week with my hubby. At night I didn’t wear the legging or tank-top underneath and it was sooo revealing, I didn’t wanna post it on the site. But then, today, I decided to get my moneys worth out of the dress and wear it to work.
So, I went to take the pic with my new iphone and here it is!
Wait- whats that you ask? Oh- it’s just the infinity photo screen on the iphone! when the camera is used that way, its me in my dress holding me in my dress holding me in my dress…
It’s blurry here… but I think it’s a beautiful thing. Reminds me of a lunchbox I had as a kid. It had a pic of Bert and Ernie holding a lunchbox with a pic of Bert and Ernie holding a lunchbox with a pic of Bert and Ernie…

My reflection in the mirror as I brushed my hair this morning.
Muchness 1- I had time to brush my hair this morning
Muchness 2- I woke up so early I even had time to take a shower that was long enough and hot enough to fog up the mirror like that.
Not so Muchness 1- I’ll probably still be late for work. As usual.
Not so Muchness 2- I really coulda used that extra hour of sleep. And I’d of liked it too!

Today we cleaned out the showroom in our office. We make a lot of stuff so before it was picked up to be sold by pound, tzipporah and I got to go diving for treasures. See- that’s her inspecting the merchandise.
It’s honestly not the “stuff” that’s the good part. It’s being able to give it to people who appreciate and can use it. tzipporah is donating to a program for special needs kids, and I sent a bunch to a school.
(I also snagged some for my kids daycare teachers… Whatever works!!)

Yahoooo!
My picture today was going to be about my white jeans. White jeans I haven’t fit into since 2006. White jeans that I bought to be photographed wearing when I was interviewed by Entreprenuer Magazine about my Teeze bags. White jeans that even when I bought them I thought – “ooh lala- I’ve never owned white jeans before… I suppose I have to wash them on a regular basis? Do I need to buy bleach to keep my white jeans white?”
But then, my BRAND NEW WHITE IPHONE arrived and squeeked past the white jeans to be the focus of my Muchness Pic of the Day!!
Hmmmmm…. I wonder what color rhinestones I should glue onto it.
Reader Submission!! In touch with the Much!
Jennifer posted on her Facebook wall
“I’m inspired … to put muchness in my day w/ sparkly hoops for a wedding we are attending!”
Jen- when I saw your pic I giggled in delight! You look so cute and happy and your earrings are really cute…. and shiny!!!!
I really love the reader submissions! I should just rename them “Tova’s Muchness Pic of the Day” because they really are… but that category name is already taken… haha!
TOVA’S MUCHNESS PIC OF THE DAY
Today, I sat outside on the back patio with my daughter and we colored with chalk. I wore my favorite old platforms. They are about 10 years old. They were $50. They’ve been resoled 5 times. New buckle, 3. For some reason, not including boots and sneakers, they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever owned and I refuse to give them up even though they’ve just about given up on me. And I’ve tried to replace them. Three newer, cork soled platform shoes sit in my closet, virtually untouched. These shoes are irreplaceable.
But this post isn’t about the shoes. And it isn’t about the cute florally print dress I wore with them (shout out to Tzippora.)
And it isn’t even about how, inspired by Heather, I took this photo with the Hipstamatic iphone app.
Nope. It’s about how, when I looked at this photo of me in platform shoes and my floral dress, in a pic taken with a random hipstamatic iphone filter, it was like looking back in time to my mom in the 70’s, and ironically, today is mothers day, and it all comes full circle.
Happy Mothers Day!!
