I started the morning sans cafe because I just wasn’t in the mood. The wind was pretty ferosh outside, which always makes me want to snuggle up with a book. So I read on the couch while enjoying a plate of grapes and strawberries. Later on a made an oat, cinnamon, raisin elixir. Here’s a confession: I like raw oats. As in, uncooked whole rolled oats. When I was little I used to pour the instant Quaker packs in a bowl, add milk, and eat it like cold cereal. Obviously, my palate hasn’t matured very… Read more >

Snack: carrots & noochy hummus Ok, for some random reason, this batch of Cedar’s hummus doesn’t have much going on in the flavor department…which is odd considering it’s my #1 brand… Read more >

Where did we last leave off? Ah yes, strolling the High Line. I had two raw blondie macaroons from O.L.D. while we wandered over the city, and then we decided the time had come to brave the masses. Times Square or bust? (Personally I’d rather bust, but that feels awful to say after the Saturday night incident). I really avoid midtown, especially on the weekends, but when friends are visiting from out of town, ya gotta embrace your inner tourist…and that includes the hideously crowded 42nd street area. I swear, all the lights and crowds… Read more >

I hate working Mondays, so I avoid them like the plague swine flu. It just seems like nothing gets done over the weekends at the hospital and so with the start of the week comes a bunch of catch-up crappola. This Monday, I managed to dodge the bullet, and instead of spending the day at the hospital, I finished off a sh!t ton of errands on my to-do list. I’m not sure which was more fun, but either way I was productive. My to-do list is never ending. I swear, every time I cross 3… Read more >

Full of errands, full of food, full of activity, full of sun, full of living. How else would I start the day? Alongside the apple was a new green monster blend. I double fisted it with the spinach, which is why it turned out such a pretty color. The other ingreds included a whole frozen banana, 1/4 block silken tofu, ice, ice and more ice. It looked neon in person, but isn’t quite as bright in the photo. Ah well, just take my word for it – ‘twas muy verde. After getting errands done around… Read more >
