Last year I don’t know what I was doing on Easter, but it was likely something indoors and snow avoidant. This year I was hoping for a more cheery holiday. Not quite what I got. Let me rephrase: not at ALL what I got. It took me a while to write this because I think I was (am) still in shock about the whole thing, even days after Easter Sunday. What I do remember is feeling like I was having an out of body experience. At several points I thought is this really happening? Like,… Read more >

Before I get into the latest and greatest from the hippie kitchen, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to offer their thoughts on yesterday’s post. The discussion certainly got more heated than I anticipated (and some comments were a bit harsh), but it was great to read how others felt about sharing your views with your family/friends. Being brave enough to stand up for your beliefs while not pressuring others to feel guilty about having differing opinions is definitely a fine line…and it seems that many feel there’s a… Read more >

I fell in love with Palo Alto this weekend. The downtown area has such charm and Stanford’s campus is absolutely gorgeous. Huge. And gorgeous. The first time we walked down this palm tree lined street, I was mesmerized by the endless green. It is one of the prettiest entrances to a campus I’ve ever seen. The second time, however, I was less impressed (and more annoyed) with the distance. The third, fourth, and eighth time I schlepped from the hotel to campus I dragged my feet the whole way, cursing the campus for being so… Read more >

First of all, this venti soy misto was FREE, because believe it or not, there are some perks (beyond heart palpitations) to my Gold Card membership and caffeine addiction. I had to go to the hospital on Tuesday even though I wasn’t working. Enduring an early wake up call and morning traffic without the promise of a paycheck demands a special treat – hence the Starbeezies. I had breakfast prepared for the waiting room. [Yes I got odd looks as I busted out a tupperware of oats in a waiting room] This genius creation… Read more >

I didn’t get a lunch sleep break last night because there was a code on the unit right when my break should have been. Clearly a patient’s life trumps my snooze time, so I just kept powering through the night sans rest. It was a long code (holy chest compressions batman!) and the third of the night in the hospital, but it ended with a beating heart and oxygenated blood, and that’s all you can hope for, right? Right. I had a delicious dinner packed up. The salad had spinach, sprouts, farro (love!), hummus, bell… Read more >
