The East side

I think I’m psychic.  Every time I float, I get a “feeling” that it’s gonna happen as I head into work.  I swear, I’m not making it up.  Yesterday I even said out loud (in my head) “I bet I’m floating today”.  And I did!  I was on 7 East yesterday, an acute medicine floor (as they call themselves).  The last time I floated was probably in the winter, so I’m definitely due, but it’s still odd to me that I sensed it coming.  I’ve also been having crazy weird ass dreams lately (which I… Read more >

Master Weekend

My mom got into town late Wednesday night, so on Thursday we spent the day shopping, lunching, and shopping some more.   We have both been to True Food Kitchen before.    I started with The Natural which is one of the most insanely non-alcoholic delicious beverages.  Ever.  It’s ginger, agave, and soda.  Mmmm… My mom got a lemonade. For our mains, we each got our own salad and then split the TLT.   I’ve gotten  the kale salad (with my same tweaks – no parmesan, add baked tofu) every time I’ve gone to True… Read more >

Sabra Adventure [part 2]

How cruel of me to leave off with such a tasty teaser…but before I get to the new flavors, let me continue with the day’s happenings…   After our photography session we headed into the test-kitchen (slash science lab?) to meet with Sabra’s Executive Chef MaryDawn Wright.   Seriously, check out the nerdy equipment!?!  Anyone need to centrifuge something while whipping something else up on the stove?  I wonder how often they put hummus in test tubes…   It was extremely cool to see the behind the scenes where hummus is sampled, new flavors are… Read more >

Sabra Adventure [part 1]

Did you read this post?  Did you guess where I was earlier this week? I can still hardly believe it myself. Imagine being completely obsessed with a product (for years!) and then finding out you get to fly across the country to tour the factory.  And try the about-to-be-launched flavors.  And learn about what they have planned for the future. Think about it.  I mean really think about it. Could you ever!?!? I had to pinch myself throughout the entire trip. You see, I’ve adored Sabra from it’s infancy and made it very well known. … Read more >

Peace, Love, & Hummus

If you read my blog back when I first started, then (1) you endured some pretty heinous “photography” and (2) you know there was a trend in my daily eats…           It’s borderline obnoxious what happens when you enter the word “sabra” in my blog’s search engine. Obsession much?  Ummm, yes.  But rightfully so.  As far as I’m concerned, this creamy smooth rich dip is in it’s own category. The above photo is from a festival in Union Square, NY (circa 2008).  I guarantee you can’t imagine the delight I felt that day. While I… Read more >
