*Post’s title courtesy of my lover, JT (and due to the fact that I ate several meals out this weekend). Apparently I just can’t get my blogging self together on the weekends (or when the weather is nice). Sooo, Happy (belated) Easter! And now for a quickie recap of the last couple of days… Saturday The AM can be summarized pretty briefly: Starbucks, shopping, more shopping, and (finally) lunch at home. So far all the Gardein products I have tried have been fresh (not frozen) ones, so making the meat-free buffalo wings was my first… Read more >

First coffee, then we’ll chat. OK. I know I’ve been withholding my big news for a while now, but the time has come to spill the beans. For many of you, this won’t come a surprise, but Kyle and I have been trying to make our way back to the West Coast for a while now. Obviously, with the economy on the fritz, and both of us having great jobs here in NYC, heading back home to CA isn’t going to be the smoothest transition. However. As I have talked about ad nauseum in the… Read more >

After the long (but relatively smooth) work weekend, all I wanted to do was sleep in ‘til noon. Unfortunately, I had (have) a to-do list the size of China, so that was out of the question. I felt like a full time secretary with the amount of time I was on the phone and doing paperwork. Ick. Those things should be illegal on days off. Hey Barack, can we get a bill passed on that? Since I was buried in boring, my brain kinda stalled out on me, and so I had what is probably… Read more >

I’m not sure what all the hype is about…I mean at least our country’s leaders understand how important and significant their work is. By no means is this blog a political one, but I just think that after pushing and pushing and pushing for this bill, it’s somewhat of a relief to see Biden drop an F-bomb over something so major for our nation. I mean, what seems more genuine, sign on the dotted line with a poker face or bleep your way to the podium (I’m liking the second option, but I’m also a… Read more >

Do you see the problem here? I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I was packing this food up…clearly there was no shot in hell that this amount of food would tide me over for my entire 12 hour shift. Salad? Check. Apples? Double check. Pretz/carob/raisins? Check. Drank? Check. And yet, all those goodies weren’t even close to enough food…by my 2 pm lunch break I was left with nothing but my ensalada. Where the bars at, yo?!?! Indeed, supplementation was very necessary (see below). I bought this big a$$ tub of nuts/carob… Read more >
