Well, that whole 405 “carmaggedon” thing turned out to be quite a bust. After hearing months and months of hype, I think everyone was expecting the worst…which caused people to take extraordinary measures (like riding your bike to work and then spending the weekend sleeping over at your cousin’s house). I had it better than many of my coworkers, who were put up in dorm rooms. But I wish I had just ignored all the hoopla and slept in my own bed, down my normal AM workout routine, and driven to work. Like every other… Read more >

First things first, I made coconut blueberry scones yesterday, and I am really pleased with the outcome. The recipe will be up soon. Here’s a teaser… I had three over the course of the afternoon, very much spoiling my appetite for dinner. They are friggin’ delicious. Anyway. I had one before work (breakfast #1). And then I brought these goods for the rest of the day. Breakfast #2 – oats with silken tofu, raisins, and NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia. Lunch – salad with mixed greens, shredded zucchini, carrots, red quinoa, kelp noodles, and seitan. Snacks… 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 >

Kyle’s cousin from Norway is visiting, so even though I’ve been working for most of her time in LA, I managed to join up for dinner and drinks the other night. We got drinks at The Misfit (rapidly climbing the charts in favorite Santa Monica bar/restaurants). The above is a Gin Fizz – minus egg whites which are apparently a normal component of the drink? Weird. The drink was delightful, but got me kinda wasted. I’m so pathetic. It takes nothing to get me drunk nowadays. Fortunately we were off to dinner after that. Stopped… Read more >
