Froth-a-licious! It was a VERY berry morning. Strawberry chobz + even more strawberries. These were the Arnold Schwarzenegger of strawberries. They were SO huge, I think I only needed 4 to fill the bowl to the brim! See!! Massive! For lunch, I made a Philly NY cheese steak seitan wrap…yeahhhhh, my version has nada to do with the greasy, cheesy, meaty dish made famous by the city of brotherly love. Oddly enough though, seitan with veggie slices kinda reminds me of the artery clogging sammie (as gross as that is to admit). Fortunately, my wrap… Read more >

Monday holiday! Hooray! It took this many cups of coffee to get me moving this morning… Ok, I realize this looks a bit like a scene from Intervention (before the person has recognized they have a problem). BUT, in my defense, it was for both me and Kyle, and I often make extra (for PM iced coffees), so don’t judge. I frothed it up of course! My breakfast wasn’t exactly traditional, but boy was it TASTY! I forgot to mention how effing amazing these BITE-LETTES were last night. I would DEFINITELY recommend them. I could… Read more >

I’ll admit, I wasn’t thrilled when I found out my weekend to work fell on Memorial Day weekend, BUT, as it turned out, Saturday and Sunday weren’t too bad (considering I felt like the only person in Manhattan that had to work). I guess that’s the effect warm weather has on me. The unit felt beyond empty this weekend. As in, I did 4 crosswords, as well as started and finished a new book. Don’t worry, I managed to save a few lives somewhere in there, too… Anyways, I did pretty well with Maggie’s whole… Read more >

Welllll…this weekend was pretty intense. I worked. I saved lives. Literally. I try not to go into too much detail about my job (a) because of the whole patient privacy thing and (b) because I have a feeling it’s not very thrilling to read about. But sometimes I wish I could share all the crazy things I see and do on a daily basis because, well, it’s a big part of my life. Or at least a part. Anyways, as I’ve mentioned before, I work in the cardiopulmonary critical care unit (CPCU), which is the… Read more >

(At the crack of AM) breakfast: Coffee. Froth. CranBran Vitatop. Off to work. Snack: Newman’s Own Organic Honey Wheat Pretzels I ate these all day long, and finished the whole bag myself. Addicting, for sure. I rarely buy pretz because of this very phenomenon. I especially loved this honey wheat flavor, though, because it has the perfect combination of salty and sweet – way better than regular pretzels. The huge salt crystals kinda ripped up the roof of my mouth though. I think that’s my issue though, not Newman’s Own. I swear I’ve gained 5… Read more >
