field roast

Commentary

I really don’t like this new UC logo.  I’m saving the Daily Bruin crossword for Friday because our baby dresser/changing table is going to be delivered sometime between 12 and 4 pm.  That’s a lot of waiting around time that I need to fill.  But I am SO excited about this dresser (nursery photos to come).   Oh, and in case you couldn’t guess, that breakfast was GF toast with Earth Balance and two perfectly fried eggs.   There’s nothing (ok, very little) that makes me happier than a fully stocked fruit situation.  I’m on… Read more >

Elise Lately [IV]

Some people may get sick of leftovers, but I am quite content eating the same thing over and over and over again. Leftovers x a million.     Field Roast wild mushroom quarter loaf.  Roasted veggies.  Quinoa.  Like a never ending Thanksgiving…   Blackberries are NOT good in smoothies.    The seeds.  They’re annoying.  But I still have half a bag of frozen berries in the freezer, so…yeah.  It was a “mixed berries” bag, but I picked out all the strawberries, so it’s just blackberries left.  Gotta do something with that. Kyle was in Arizona last… Read more >

Weekend of thanks 2012

I know Thanksgiving was ages ago, but I’m only just getting around to uploading photos and such because my week/end was SO packed I couldn’t be bothered to worry about blogging in a timely manner.    Shorts and a tank top in late November…must be Southern California… For the first time in as long as I can remember ever (!!) I got the holiday – PLUS it’s surrounding days – off of work.  Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… Read more >

The mother of invention

Necessity is the mother of invention.  At least that’s how the phrase goes.  Desperation is more like it… The other night was just a typical night in the scheme of my pregnancy.  I wasn’t craving anything remotely healthy, but I also couldn’t figure out what I even wanted to eat.  Even though we had plenty of options in the fridge, I wasn’t feeling any of it.  Kyle made himself dinner, but I didn’t want what he was having either.  So I held out, waiting for my appetite to reveal itself.  Finally I decided I wanted… Read more >

Montezuma

I regret to inform you all that my recent absence was totally unavoidable… [Don’t read this next part if you don’t want to hear the dirty digestive deets] 1.5 days after I got back from Mexico I was knocked on my ass (literally) by Senor Montezuma.  If you’re wondering why the onset of this Mexican bug was so delayed…welcome to my GI tract.  I knew something was amiss the day we flew home, but it wasn’t until Friday that I was cursing my gut and running to the toilet every 5 to 30 minutes.  So. … Read more >
