Jai Ho (Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane)

After dancing spastically bopping around the apartment (all evening), singing my own made-up lyrics to the slumdog millionaire song, Kyle insisted I was being retarded and there was NO way they were screaming “die ho.”  As usual, he was right…I did some googling, and that’s how the title of the post came about.  At least now he has nothing one fewer complaint with my energetic insanely obnoxious performance. Anyways…focus Elise…oh that’s right, food! In today’s coffee I frothed my soymilk with some sf vanilla syrup…I’m turning into a little barista! PB puffins :)   I heated… Read more >

T.G.I.H(ummus)

The aroma just opening this bag was intoxicating (I lurrrrve the smell of fresh coffee grounds)…I mixed it with half regular coffee from the bucks, so the choc/rasp flavor was super subtle and quite nice.  To be honest, I couldn’t really taste the raspberry much at all.  Either way, it has caffeine, so mission accomplished. I started the day with a ridiculously heaping bowl of PB puffins.  Kids, this box isn’t gonna last much longer – these babies are TOO good for words. I figured I’d get the show on the road with the bag… Read more >

day of breakfasts

I literally was craving brekkie foods all day…so why fight it.  I had today off from work (finally), so I allowed myself to sleep in and it felt great!!  Normally when I work, I have to wait to take my lunch break until my patients are stable, which sometimes isn’t until well after noon, so I end up going HOURS between my AM starbucks loading and my PM lunch (hence the need for my daily odwalla bars).  Anyways, the point I am getting at, is that after working several days in a row, I miss… Read more >

lazy day-zy

It’s weird that I’m boozing into the wee hours with my fam, and yet,  I’m still up and ready to start my day at 8 am.  I guess reading and lazing about in the sun all day isn’t really too demanding, so my body doesn’t feel like it needs all the zzz time.  A little bit of home, even in Mexico…starbucks coffee with my morning crossword  🙂 I was ravenous by 10, which isn’t really normal for me.  I tried to ignore it, but it was clear my stomach was not going to leave me… Read more >

home for the holidays

Airport on my way home!! WTF were they thinking when they made the new terminal for JetBlue – no Starbucks?! I’m not a fan. They DO have all these new creative dining places though, with lots of potential options beyond fast food (which is nice), including salad and hot food bars. But still, at 7 am that is little consolation for the lack of soy for my coffee.So I ended up going to Dunkin’ Donuts 🙁 and ordering a small black coffee and a HUGE water. I’ve got a aisle seat, kids, no worries!Here’s my… Read more >
