Are you getting tired of me working so much? I hope the packed lunches aren’t too boring, but whatcha gonna do, right? Today’s lunch eats included tupperwared kale chips and a salad, DOS manzanas, a buncha bars (Clif’s Z bars and Odwalla repeats from yesterday), and dried papaya spears/pears. As I headed out on my lunch break today, I saw a pretty fantastic sight (these things tend to occur outside the Emergency Dept). Picture a homeless Caucasian man (60-ish years old) in a wheelchair rocking a black baby back and forth, and bouncing it up… Read more >

I have literally been living at the office hospital. And yet, somehow I have managed to churn out heaps of produce in the few hours I have been home. Seriously, our apartment is where produce comes to die (death by baking anyone?). Wanna see a few of my success stories (if you said no…well…tough sh!t). 😉 FINALLY!! (I think kale chips have been on my to-make list for a year now). It’s about damn time, Elise. Massaged with cooking spray, nooch, and salt (like, a LOT of salt), then baked at 350 for 10-15 minutes. … Read more >

What a short lived break. Having only one day off of work was such a tease. So back to the hospital I went. The usual crew of lunchables: salad with a lot of greenery, roasted carrots with cranz, Spiced Pumpkin Pie Clif bar (why does this have to be seasonal, it’s SO good), PB cookie Larabar (best flavor, definitely, best flavor), TWO apples (not baby horse ones, these are the big bad boys), dried pineapple and pears. Foggy bag much? By the way, I’m completely obsessed with roasting carrots into fries. I could easily go… Read more >

So if you go to bed at 2 am, it would only seem natural to sleep in extra long the next day to catch up, right? Somebody tell that to my body. My rebellious REM cycle had me up WAY too early on my Monday off. Darn it. The one perk of being up before the sun? I was able to get all my errands done that had been piling up since last week. After my laundry was started (and my coffee was a-brewin’), I threw together some vanilla protein pancakes (yes, that’s what the… Read more >

Despite our late night out on the town, we still met at 7 am for breakfast on Saturday. Craziness, right? I don’t have any food pics from Saturday until dinner. If you knew everything we did and saw, you’d understand why. Washington monument WWII memorial Reflecting pool Lincoln memorial Vietnam Veterans memorial Natural History museum American History museum Stars and Stripes Cafeteria lunch (veggie burger) National Air and Space museum White House Starbucks (yes, it gets it’s own bullet point) After what felt like miles and miles of walking, we finally made it back to… Read more >
