tofu salad

Subtext

  The most massive banana ever.  At the perfect state of ripeness.   A work breakfast (flaxy oatmeal) that I didn’t end up eating because I got cafeteria french toast instead.  GAHHHHH!!!  Why can’t I quit you!!! Quinoa, roasted veggies, and nooch up the yin yang. Greens, roasted veggies, hardboiled eggs, and avocado.  Again, I nooch-ed it up post-photo. Curry tofu.  It’s vegan, it’s FODMAPs free, and it’s in the book.  SodaStream water with lemons from the neighbors tree.  Yes, I put a whole lemon in my water.  And I smashed it up and drank… Read more >

Nurse out of water

Ordinarily I don’t mind floating, but today I was SO not in the mood for it.  Fish out of water x 12 hours…blah. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it’s nice to spend a day with a different patient population – like sampling yogurt, you get a small taste without having to commit.  But I also love routine (who doesn’t?) and after working yesterday, I was looking forward to having the familiarity that comes with a second shift in a row.  Even when patients are busy I’m still able to get a sense of rhythm by… Read more >

Marinate

My camera battery died before I could get a picture of the finished product…but it was a good one.   I marinated some tofu in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes for a few days…   Which produced a really flavorful end product without any work at all!  Seriously, I poured the stuff (unmeasured) into a tupperware, added the slabs of tofu and forgot about them.   For the fastest sammie prep ever, I spread hummus on one slice, and mashed the tofu up on the other.  Threw some spinach… Read more >

It would be nice, if you made me rice.

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband.  I may have to show it to you later.  :)  Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine.  It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit.  Dude.  I am so bummed about these lame nectarines.  From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >

How about s’more

After Saturday’s nightcap, Kyle and I found ourselves sucked into an A&E marathon.  Has anyone else ever seen The First 48?  Because we had finished our Netflix-ed Dexter DVDs the previous night (and didn’t want to pay $11.99 for the Hyatt’s On-Demand films) our TV options were limited.  Turns out The First 48 is a really good show…so good in fact, that we’ve now seen the entire first season.  😉 Anyway, Sunday started the same as Saturday (plus football).  Coffee, pool lounging, gym time, and eventually lunch. We couldn’t help ourselves…and so we headed back… Read more >
