These past few days my appetite has been ravenous. [I haven’t done any form of exercise, though, so it’s definitely odd. But my body is far from normal, so I just went with it.] Take breakfast for instance, usually a tupperware of oatmeal with the fixins will hold me over pretty well. But I had this before I left for the hospital and was already hungry for my next meal by the time my shift started at 7 am. WTF? I had a banana and breakfast cookie and praised the Lord when I saw… Read more >

This week’s grain was millet. It’s small, gluten free, and has a cornbread like taste. I make it in the rice cooker, like I do with everything else, using the same water to grain ratio as rice, quinoa, and couscous. Honestly, it’s impossible to mess things up in a rice cooker. This one just so happened to be especially on the money…because when I went to scoop it into a tupperware it came out as easy as could be, no spoon required. Literally. This is from flipping the bowl upside down. I actually attempted to… Read more >

Peek-a-boo! Breakfast, lunch or dinner…it doesn’t really matter…some things are good at any time of the day. Like grains and beans with a fried egg on top. Or savory oats with tofu ricotta. Having leftovers makes waking up easy delicious. It’s as easy as one, two, three… Making the meal only takes as long as it takes to boil water. 1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups water + pinch of salt 1 fried egg + 1 scoop tofu ricotta If you’re wondering, yes, it tasted as awesome as… Read more >

Maybe it’s because I’m a nut job myself. Or maybe it’s because I prefer things that are based on formulas and bound by rules. But whatever the reason, I have a very hard time with crazy people.* *I’m using this term in the clinical sense. I truly think psych nurses are 10% human and 90% saints. I don’t know how they do it. In case you couldn’t guess, there have been some real characters in the hospital lately. Anyway. I’m so behind in posting my work meals, I’m just gonna photo bomb you all and… Read more >

Kyle and I are really bad when it comes to seeing movies. We mean to see things and then we just never end up following through. Last month we finally got our act together and went to see My Week with Marilyn. Well, the theatre randomly had a power outage, so after walking all the way down to the Promenade, we just turned back around and walked back home. I’m very embarrassed to reveal what we ended up watching instead. [source] Ummm yeah. We watched a documentary about Justin Bieber. It gets worse. I had… Read more >
