I wish someone could have heard the conversation Kyle and I had on the way home from this dinner. “What does A Votre Sante mean anyway?” “I think it’s another Saint.” “No, that’s not right.” “Maybe twenty something?” “Maybe something sane?” “No.” “Hmmm…” “Is it French?” “Latin?” “No idea.” “Well, I give up.” “We’ll look it up when we get home.” “Okay.” No seriously. We are really dumb when it comes to languages outside of English and Spanish (I can see Kyle rolling his eyes right now saying “speak for yourself”). Truthfully, all I can… Read more >

I worked on Saturday, so my Friday wasn’t really a TGIF kind of day. To summarize the AM: cereal, bike ride, window shopping. I had two Turlock multi-grain pitas with hummus for lunch and a veggie burger a la mode. Hummus gone. 🙁 In terms of fizz KeVita < Synergy, in terms of calories it’s the reverse. Flavor-wise I go back and forth. Depends on what I’m in the mood for. Truthfully, all I wanted for dinner was quinoa drenched in Bragg’s liquid aminos, but I decided to up the nutritional profile of… Read more >

So here’s the sitch. Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days. Problem? Yes. It gets worse. I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I am so so sore. It’s unbelievable. I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised. I basically feel stiff all over. Anyway. I don’t… Read more >

So my last post left off with us wandering the Latin Quarter attempting to locate the Pantheon. Well, we did eventually find it. Pantheon means “every God,” which is weird considering it’s (now) a secular sight. But originally it was a church, built for and dedicated to St. Genevieve (the patron Saint of Paris). This Genevieve chick was quite the good luck charm for the French. She protected Paris from the Barbarians in 500 AD and was then buried at the Pantheon. Thousands of years later, Louis XV credited her for his recovery from serious… Read more >

If I had to summarized Monday through Thursday in a single post…well…I can’t, so I don’t know how to end that sentence. But, where I was going with that intro was to say my week has been packed and amazing. Highlights reel? Sure, why not. Monday slash Tuesday I had night shift stuff. The only thing of note food-wise was how many berries I consumed over the course of the day. I have likely met my Vitamin C quota until October. I also made a pita pie (for those of you who keep asking about… Read more >
