WHAT am I going to do now that Top Chef is over? I miss Padma and Tom already đ To answer a few questions I got last post about my sushi skillz: I do have a sushi making kit that I got from Kyle a few years ago. It was a surprise anniversary present (I swear, I have THE most thoughtful BF). Since we lived in San Francisco at the time, we got tons of fresh stuff at the market in the Ferry Building (on of my fave places) and then we got even more… Read more >

Love how detailed my weekend plans were? When you have no agenda, itâs pretty easy to stick to itâŚcoffee, check. B-fast, check. Alvarado street bread toasted with greek yog and âeggâ on top. I lazed the AM away watching the Real Housewives of NYC, while Kyle rolled his eyes and made sarcastic remarks throughout(sometimes crap TV is the best way to start the weekend). Clearly Bethanny is going to continue to provide the majority of the showâs entertainment for the second season, too. Apparently, my breakfasts even get their own desserts now! Crunch! I… Read more >

âŚis carob đ I definitely went overboard with the carob today â itâs just SO good, I canât help it. Whatever. Itâs healthy, right? Itâs all veggiegirlâs fault! Honestly, if I ever got my hands on a bag of carob chips (like Erin did) lord help me! Heading in to work on Monday morning was a little depressing. Everyone else is on DAY 3 of the weekend, but Iâm on DAY 3 of WORKINGâŚI know my work schedule generally rocks, so I shouldnât be complaining, but itâs still sad when I know everyone else is… Read more >

I woke up to Kyle getting ready for work (heâs normally so quiet, but lately, not so much)âŚso (again) I embraced it and got the day under way. Unlike Kelly, I chose tv over napping đ I went craaaazy with my coffee this morning, frothed vanilla silk and a stevia/cinnamon combo sprinkled on top. Um, this is my heaven. Brekkie: Fench toast with âeggâ beaters and Alvarado street breadâŚwith a lot of Earth Balance melted on top. Lunch: Sammie on Alvarado street bread with sabra hummus, greek yogurt, tofu AND smart deli âturkeyâ plus… Read more >

Today was a slowwwwww day, but it was a good one. Work was nice, some funny stories (maybe Iâll share one later), but altogether a mellow day. No complaints. I woke up at 4 am (a la Erin) completely on my own, alert and awake, so I embraced it! Iâm sayinâ I obviously arrived at Starbeezies way early (like 6ish) so I enjoyed the AM crossword and my book (Me & Emma) â which is soooo good btw. Totally hooked. So, funny story: Sometimes we get ER patients in the middle of the night since… Read more >
