Propofol, propofol, so much propofol. And yet, no amount seemed too much. I’m not exaggerating when I say this: I gave BEYOND lethal doses of sedatives today, and my patient was still so resistant he spent 12 straight hours trying to extubate himself. Boy was my patience on trial with this guy. Fentanyl, Propofol, Methadone, the list goes on and on…and these weren’t ordinary does either…these were kill-Michael-Jackson-and-his-entire-kid-entourage-doses. OK, sorry for the work rant. I sometimes use this blog to vent, so I ‘pologize for the medical chatter. Back to what I really love to… Read more >

Wow. Time flies when you’re having fun blogging about it. It feels like just yesterday I stumbled across this amazing community of foodies and decided to begin a blog about my adventures in the vegan kitchen. Who would have known the decision to write (almost daily) about my food/exercise/etc would have impacted my life the way it has? I certainly did not. And yet, here I am, a YEAR later, with a ton of new friends, having tried food I hardly would have known existed a year ago! Thank you to everyone who has ever… Read more >

Sunday started much the same as Saturday, with the buzzzz of my alarm clock at 5 am. Boo :( At least I had all this deliciousness to look forward to… Dried fruit (figs, mangoes), real fruit (apple), bars (TJ’s Trek Mix, Jocolat’s newest flavor – more below on that), pistachio/almond/goji mix, sabra mini-tub of hummus, and a huge GREEN BEAST of a salad. Cruciferous much? Seriously, could there BE more green in this salad? On top of the bed of spinach and the broccoli slaw was even more broccoli. T’was perfection in the raw-est of… Read more >

I wouldn’t even know where to begin. It was such a stressful (work filled) weekend, I’m just glad it’s over and I made it through. I am far too exhausted to type, so I won’t be sharing the latest ICU happs. Instead, I’ll stick to the food. Saturday’s pre-packed snacks/lunch included some oldies (pistachio, almond, goji, dried cranz mix), TJ’s “Go Rah” Trek Mix bar, dried fruit, yadda yadda – and some newbies. I have seen these MoJo bars throughout the blog world before, but thought they were some urban legend. Turns out, they are… Read more >

I almost titled this post “my love affair with Dave,” but something tells me that if this were the one post title Kyle did choose to read, he wouldn’t be so amused. That said, I am, in fact, in love. Just say no to bread on drugs! Please take note of the seedy goodness. I took several glamour shots, so bear with me (and if you’re curious, yes, it tasted just as good, if not better, than it photographed). And just what do you suppose I chose to accompany this lovely carb? That, should be… Read more >
