Rules for Oats

Remember last week when I was pancake crazy?  Well.  I’m back in an oatmeal rut.    Almond milk, cinnamon, bananas, peanut butter & maple syrup.    Rules for oatmeal (slash life): No playing favorites. Editing is not necessary (and often discouraged). Go big or go home. The more the merrier. You get the idea right?  I like lots of toppings.  And I like them all together.   Of course I can’t forget to mention the principles of frugality: Waste not, want not. Never leave a man behind. A penny saved, is a penny earned.  … Read more >

The mouse will play

I’ve made pancakes more than oats this week.  And if you don’t understand how huge that is, you don’t know me very well. Pancakes are just awesome. On the left: almond butter and bananas On the right: peanut butter/maple syrup and bananas Kyle’s been out of town, so I have been sleeping in, making big batches of pancakes and eating them while watching TV on my computer.  So lazy. Aforementioned “big batches” last me until well after noon.  So I figure if I’ve had a few courses of pancakes, it counts as breakfast AND lunch,… Read more >

Time and a half

Knowing my friends are frolicking in the sun while I’m begging patients to go on walks and administering suppositories…it’s tough.  It doesn’t matter HOW much you love your job, when the weekend arrives and others are not working and you are, it’s just a bummer.  Holiday weekends are especially difficult.  My three day weekend was spent in the hospital.  Wah wah.  Ordinarily, I avoid 3-in-a-rows like I avoid C. diff, but knowing I was getting Memorial Day pay (time and a half) and the weekend differential made it sort-of okay.  After all my income has… Read more >

Photos of food

I’ll own it.  Since last weekend, I’ve been phoning it in here on HHH. Just plugging along as per usual – work work work with free time filled with potting plants and cheering on my husband.  And eating.   I’ve been poking my head into the Food Revolution truck every day on my lunch break to see if Jamie Oliver is there…still no sighting though.  I really want to show my lunches off.  Or ask for a job.   This was a salad with spinach, quinoa, & blackened tempeh.  So I think he’d be a fan….

Four day weekend [part 2]

Laziness continued.     Coffee. Coffee. Fruit. Coffee. A perfect Sunday morning (“morning” being used loosely since I slept in a LOT).    Random fact: I really love fruit salad but I never make it because I like it when it’s already at least a day old.  That means I have to plan ahead so I get the exact level of oxidized fruit.  I also think that bananas are the essence of any good fruit salad.    That’s why I made this salad the night before.  It had apples, strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, and bananas.  If it… Read more >
