I’m kinda embarrassed to admit this, but one of the main reasons I’ve avoided roasting beets is because they seem so messy! Dyed hands. Dyed cutting board. Not appealing. I am so dumb! There was nothing remotely difficult about this. The clean up was just as easy as the prep. Take my word for it. Ok? Cool. Roasted root veggies du jour: butternut squash, beet, sweet potato, celeriac (?) Pre-heat oven to 400. Chop veggies. Coat in olive oil and fresh herbs (I used rosemary, thyme, & sage <— from my garden!), plus salt… Read more >

Weekend by iPhone. Ready, go! Saturday I had an open faced breakfast sando with avocado and two fried eggs. Then Kyle’s parents came over and we went to Hollywood. We had tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld do stand-up at the Pantages theatre. So excited!! We parked at Hollywood & Highlands and walked to get an early dinner at Tender Greens. It wasn’t [yet] rainy, but it was cold and windy, so I was definitely ready for something warm. Tea 🙂 I got the Happy Vegan (as per usual) with a side of roasted brussels,… Read more >

The flood actually started Sunday morning, and after four unreturned calls to our landlord we took matters into our own hands and began calling plumbers. Apparently Sundays aren’t ideal for your pipes to burst because we called every plumber in Santa Monica and nobody returned our calls…until 30 minutes later. We finally got one guy to agree to come look at the sink…after putting down a $100 deposit. He didn’t arrive until 75 minutes later. At that point we had several drenched towels and one full a$$ bucket. He “worked” on the leak for… Read more >

I woke up Friday with every single finger and toe crossed because the unit was overstaffed by one nurse and I was the first on the list to get a "holiday." So as long as nobody called in sick, my phone was set to ring between 4 and 5 am with happy news. I’ve never looked forward to a pre-sunrise call more. At 4:45 I got the blessed call and by 4:50 I was back asleep. I took full advantage of the free day and slept in, but once I woke up, I set right… Read more >

Rhetorical question, but how awesome does my plate look?? I know. So my Thursday morning wasn’t the greatest. Like I mentioned before, I was a zombie when we arrived at Kyle’s parents house late on Wednesday…and even though I slept straight through the night (something I rarely do in my own bed), I still couldn’t seem to get myself up in the morning. So I slept in a bit while Kyle had breakfast solo. Eventually I pried myself from the sheets and stumbled outside for a brisk jog around the neighborhood. I intended… Read more >
