5/5

Happy Cinco de Mayo bloggies! Five is my fave number, so I have always loved this date, add in Mexican food, and I’m partying like it’s my birthday! Today was a ridic.  I couldn’t take pics of everything I ate.  Cliff’s notes: wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding The day started off rough.  I had frothing issues.    **Side note: I didn’t know there was a difference in Stevia derived sweeteners (Truvia, Rebiana, PureVia, SweetLeaf, etc.), but after one of Gena’s posts, I looked on the back of my NuStevia box and was a… Read more >

May showers?

I thought the phrase was “April showers…” but apparently not.  Gotta love the Bay Area.  I felt like I was in New York because we had a non-stop drizzle the whole weekend interspersed with some serious downpour action.  Saturday we woke up extremely early (again) for no reason other than lack of time zone adjustment.  Since I was already up, I had a bowl of frothy coffee and a vanilla greek yog.  Then I did some errands with my pops, which took all of 5 minutes, but still earned me a coffee from Peet’s.  That got… Read more >

Happy 81st Walt

I don’t have AM pictures because we were out and about looking at wedding sites all over the Bay Area.  But let’s be real, you guys know exactly what I had (starbeezies)! After conquering most of the places on our list, we headed to the store (it was already 2 pm).  I picked up this yummy soup at Trader Joe’s.  When it’s raining outside, I crave soup – warm, thick, butternut squash deliciousness.  Trader Joe’s is definitely a must when I’m visiting home.  The line (or lack thereof) at the Lafayette store is a breeze… Read more >

Kelly Bensimon is effing crazy

I don’t think I need to explain the above title if you wasted your morning the same way I did tuned into the Real Housewives of NY.  I was up at the crack of dawn thanks to a text message from Jess at 6 am.  Awesome.  Payback’s a bitch Jess, so prepare yourself for a 2 am drunk dial from the west coast this weekend… Needless to say I was jonesing for some caffeine shortly after. I messed the froth up on this one, but that’s what happens when you are brewing in the dark… Read more >

I’ve got B.O. (beets and okra)

Don’t worry I’m a clean hippie.  Showers are me time.  But wait ‘til you see my lovely dinner…it’s packed with salad newbies.  But first things first.  I have no idea why, but I woke up WAY freakin’ early.  On a non-work day, WTF!?  Anyways, I had a frothy mug of joe to get things rolling…followed by a strawberry chobz with diced strawberries on top. Mmmm…look at all that greek yogurt goodness.  I also had an apple while reading blogs and watching last night’s Gossip Girl and The Hills killing some brain cells.   After I… Read more >
