J’adore all the recent commenters! Keep delurking peeps, it’s great hear from ya :) My love cup is full (yes, I just quoted Vicki, cringe). After the (above) overflowing frothy cuppa java, I was at a serious crossroads. I wanted more caffeine, but I also wanted chocolate. Such a dilemma! Solution: MOCHA! I combined coffee, Chatfield’s cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and agave nectar. It was heavenly. I mistakenly took a sip before taking a photo (which was only a mistake because it was SO dang good that half the cup was in my tummy… Read more >

This morning there was not enough coffee in the world. Sometimes late nights do that… Imagine this mug times 100. Ok, 3. For breakfast, I practiced my vampire bite with various pieces of fruit. Clearly I’m going through True Blood withdrawal… I also had some Smart Balance-i-fied toast. Had to finish up the Alvarado Street loaf to make way for my new Nature’s Pride loaves. (Fangs marks not included) As usual, on my day off I worked on re-stocking the kitchen/fridge for my work days. This included making: quinoa, chickpeas, black beans, steamed veggies in… Read more >

I’m gonna gloss over my AM eats because they weren’t too interesting. If I were on Top Chef I’d call it a de-constructed smoothie, but I’m not, so for blog purposes it’s simply frozen nanner slices in a Blueberry Chobz. Told you I like bananas Jess! Lunch was a fantastic plate of yum. On a bed of fancy shmancy lettuce and broccoli slaw, I added my WF baked tofu leftovers, baby carrots, and a few blobs of tofummus. I was feelin’ the ‘fu BIG TIME. Mmmm… Perfectly protein packed. I’m already on my second batch… Read more >

Finally a day off of work [insert sigh of relief]! And a Friday to boot (what an odd phrase). Today was soopah busy and I was playing catch up all day long. Naturally, I fueled myself with a large dose of caffeine to get my butt moving. I got 99 problems errands but a meal ‘aint one. After my first round of rain-filled errands my tummy was begging for more fruit. You ask and you shall receive! Later, I was craving the most bizarre (read highly processed) things for lunch. Bacon and cheese? Errr…not quite. … Read more >

Propofol, propofol, so much propofol. And yet, no amount seemed too much. I’m not exaggerating when I say this: I gave BEYOND lethal doses of sedatives today, and my patient was still so resistant he spent 12 straight hours trying to extubate himself. Boy was my patience on trial with this guy. Fentanyl, Propofol, Methadone, the list goes on and on…and these weren’t ordinary does either…these were kill-Michael-Jackson-and-his-entire-kid-entourage-doses. OK, sorry for the work rant. I sometimes use this blog to vent, so I ‘pologize for the medical chatter. Back to what I really love to… Read more >
