avocado

Fair weather fan

Saturday started with the ordinary: coffee, blog, tv, yadda yadda. Eventually I made a brunch platter (of the not so ordinary nature). Maybe carrots and apples seem weird for breakfast the first meal of the day, but it’s what I was craving.  And if you think I had these without hummus, then you clearly don’t know me at all. I finished off the rest of the (just opened) tub with a 7 grain roll, followed by grapes.  Nothing like 8 servings of chickpea heaven to get the day started right. After a hearty mug of… Read more >

Upper Feast Side

What to do when you find yourself starving on the East Side around dinner time?  Hit up Candle Cafe, obviously. Since this was an impromptu dinner out, I didn’t have my camera on me…but at least Kyle’s iPhone was on hand.  I wish my job gave me fun tech toys (although I’m not sure I would be a fan of having to answer at my boss’ beck and call…so maybe not). Since we were absolutely starving, we started with guacamole and chips while browsing the menu.  The chips were like Doritos – sans lard.  Delicious. … Read more >

Raw crack double take

I hate working Mondays, so I avoid them like the plague swine flu.  It just seems like nothing gets done over the weekends at the hospital and so with the start of the week comes a bunch of catch-up crappola.  This Monday, I managed to dodge the bullet, and instead of spending the day at the hospital, I finished off a sh!t ton of errands on my to-do list.  I’m not sure which was more fun, but either way I was productive.  My to-do list is never ending.  I swear, every time I cross 3… Read more >

Raw Livin’

As I mentioned before, Saturday was a late night, so Sunday didn’t really get under way until noon. Before anything, we went to WF for (our last) huge grocery trip.  On the way home, I got a soy misto. Even though we were still waiting for our groceries to arrive, I still had everything on hand for a perfect lunch. The other day I got a delivery from Livin’ Spoonful in the mail, with tons of raw, vegan, sprouted goodies.  I can’t even tell you how long I had been waiting to try these… I… Read more >

Full day

Full of errands, full of food, full of activity, full of sun, full of living.  How else would I start the day?  Alongside the apple was a new green monster blend.  I double fisted it with the spinach, which is why it turned out such a pretty color.  The other ingreds included a whole frozen banana, 1/4 block silken tofu, ice, ice and more ice. It looked neon in person, but isn’t quite as bright in the photo.  Ah well, just take my word for it – ‘twas muy verde.  After getting errands done around… Read more >
