Here’s a fun little “would you rather.” It’s pretty much the question that most Angelinos face on a daily basis. Would you rather drive or ride your bike for 12 miles? What if I told you the cycling route would be a guaranteed 60 minute commute, but you may or may not be in your car for 1-2 hours? Welcome to my life. I chose the bike. My parents are in So Cal this week to see all the new babies in the fam, so on Monday night they took us out to dinnah…. 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 >

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I’ve been a terrible blogger the past two days. If you are thinking I’ve been living it up since I’ve been job-less…well…think again. I can pretty much summarize the last 48 hours as follows: Couch –> bed –> couch –> bed (and repeat) I felt like Mama Pea but without the delightful side-effects that being ‘viked up brings (sadly pamprin doesn’t have quite the high that vicodin does…). As an homage to my fave vegan MILF MILTSFF (Mom I’d Like To Steal Food From), I made a crack wrap for one… Read more >

Before you all have collective heart attacks, no, I did NOT get sh!t faced while doing my nurse thang. However, Saturday night WAS the cardiac surgery holiday party (aka open bar on the MDs tab). Unfortunately for yours truly, I still had to work my 12 hour shift on Saturday…as well as the next day (Sunday). Boo! I can think of about 15,000 other things I’d rather do after work than put on a dress and pretend that I feel pretty while I’m covered in a patient’s ventilator spew and C. diff. Oh, and did… Read more >

I recently discovered this oh SO Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer. I am cray cray in love with it, and since I now add it to my java on the daily, I felt the need to shout it from the rooftop post about it, too. No soy, no dairy, no fat, just pure vegan yumminess with french vanilla flavoring to boot. FYI, I usually flavor my coffee with NuNatural’s vanilla extract, but since my stash is nearly gone, this discovery couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. This morning I slept (wayyyy) in, but eventually… Read more >
