Satur-date

Kyle and I are really bad when it comes to seeing movies.  We mean to see things and then we just never end up following through.  Last month we finally got our act together and went to see My Week with Marilyn.  Well, the theatre randomly had a power outage, so after walking all the way down to the Promenade, we just turned back around and walked back home.  I’m very embarrassed to reveal what we ended up watching instead. [source] Ummm yeah.  We watched a documentary about Justin Bieber. It gets worse. I had… Read more >

An attempt at entirety

Ready for an entire day of food?  It’s rare that I do these kinds of posts anymore and after yesterday I realized why.  It’s hard to get everything! For example, I had a bagel set out for breakfast, but when I got up I didn’t feel like it.  Correction, I felt like something else.  A cookie to be specific.   That’s because this tupperware was sitting on the counter mocking me as I made my coffee.  I knew if I didn’t have one, I’d be thinking about them all day and would likely have a… Read more >

Wednesday Timeline

By the time I got home the other day I was about to fall over with exhaustion.  It was one of the busiest days I’ve ever worked. To give you a point of reference, I never finished my morning coffee. Yes, I managed to get away for my lunch break (remember how we have break relief nurses to cover us), but I spent 75% of the time tucked away in the computer room getting caught up on charting. Anyway.  If you’re looking for someone to blame for my really delayed Wednesday post, I’m removing myself… Read more >

Unappetizing names

Pate.  When I lived in Spain, my senora made me sandwiches with pate spreads all the time.  At the time I wasn’t vegan, but I already shunned dairy and avoided most meat (chicken and fish were still in my diet though).  I told her over and over again I didn’t like pate – it reminded me of cat food.  But she repeatedly made it for me.  As a result I get shivers up and down my body whenever I see or hear the word.  This is especially unfortunate because many raw spreads are dubbed “pates”… Read more >

Caramel apple messy face

I just finished eating this… Not the whole thing.  I started with the portion on the right, but the caramel was soooo gooey and delicious that I ended up picking off most of the caramel, chocolate, nutty coating on the other portion. There was SO much caramel between the chocolate layer and the apple that I could twist the entire fruit around inside the chocolate shell.  If you’re wondering how it tasted, imagine the best candy bar ever with a delicious crunchy, tangy apple on the side.  Can you even believe that I haven’t had… Read more >
