Well, the first piece of BAD news is that my computer is done-zo. Dead. No more. Wahhhh…(I got it in 9/2007!) I was on the phone today with the geek squad for way too long. Without getting into too much detail, my options are (a) pay $$$$ with no guarantees or (b) kiss the mo-fo goodbye.
I am so not tech savvy enough to deal with this. So it’s on hold while Kyle’s in China. Which brings me to the second piece of good/bad news…my better half is in China 🙁
While Kyle is taking the Great Wall by storm, I’ll be doing my best to blog (ghetto style) on his old computer (this thing is from the ice age). But beggar’s can’t be choosers, so I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars for this old brick. I certainly can’t blog from my blackberry (try as I might to understand the point of twittering)…what a fruitless search that was!
No AM pics, but I had coffee and soynut butter on toast (plus I may or may not have had a few spoonfuls on the side). No guarantees. There was also dried fruit and a big mug of silky coffee.
Lunch came early since I was stressed (really works up an appetite)!
There’s some hummus among’us! (wow, that was a bad one)
Can’t deny it – Sabra is the best!
I made up a platter of goodies, including baked tofu, quinoa, and me + Jenny (aka peas and carrots). Matchstick carrots are fun, no?
Whenever I make quinoa, I wait until the next day to eat it because the smell of making it puts me off so much. I even drain them first…and no luck. Maybe I’m just weird, but I like my quinoa cold (and odorless).
Check out the hummus lathered on the tofu in the background…
I went a little zoom happy.
I love the way quinoa looks.
Food porn.
Sorry, no more food pics for the day (dinner was leftovers and more of the same, anyways).
And the good news kept on coming…not that it brought my computer back to life, but you can’t win ’em all.
Today was a big delivery day 🙂
POM Wonderful!!!
This was TOTALLY what I needed, like, at the perfect time. As I have mentioned in the past, I get so sick of apple juice at work, and I don’t like other juices (or any HFCS loaded beverages for that matter), but now that my fave tea is done-zo…what’s a girl to drink? I was really craving something sweet, and so I was really really excited to try this product out. Pomegranate seeds are one of my favorite fruits, but they are SO time consuming to peel and unwrap. Still, the flavor is well worth the work, and the health benefits are incomparable.
The juice was perfectly sweet, but not too sugary. Also, not at all bitter or overly tart, which was surprising considering how concentrated I thought it would be. I mean, all it is is PURE pomegranate!! Everyone must try! I know it’s pricey, but you’ll thank me when you are 100 years old and still running marathons and finishing New York Times’ crosswords…
And did I mention? The company is just wonderful! THANKS again Molly!
Package number 2…VITA-licious!!
Brownies and muffins galore!
Brownies and muffins galore!
I put them in the freezer (as per the enclosed instructions) but not before grabbing on out to try, first! Talk about a stocked freezer!
For my first taste test, I opted for the choc/PB muffin. It was like a muffin top (Seinfeld anyone?) that had been flattened. The texture was more brownie-like than muffin and the cute little peanut butter chips on the top were good additions.
All in all I give this flavor a B. It was a bit too “healthy” tasting – also, as a chocolate lover, I’m not one to take my chocolate reviews lightly. It was still a nice ending to the day…dessert, then bed. I don’t even want to THINK of the mess I have to deal with tomorrow.
I may be MIA for a bit bloggies. Wish me luck, I’m stressin’
Hell yeah, glad you got the Vitatop package!! Heat them up..so good! Yes the hummus/quinoa pics are heaven!
dude you are stocked! Don’t stress too much 🙁
Sorry to hear about your dead computer : (
I agree … I love the way quinoa looks and I think I enjoy my cold a bit better than warmed up, too.
Hope your weekend isn’t too stressful!!
HOLLLYYYYY awesomeness! Love the Vitatop package! That is wicked awesome. LOL!!
And ah, I miss quinoa, I can’t find it in stores now…. GGRRR
Sorry about computer! At least you have another one to use, and I hope Kyle is enjoying China. I’ve always wanted to go there.
Sabra IS the best, and I LOVE mixing it with quinoa. That’s funny that you have to wait a day to eat it. I’ve never noticed the smell much. I’ll have to give it a big whiff next time I cook up a batch…or maybe I won’t. 🙂
Enjoy the POM – love that stuff!
ahhhhhh I AM SO JEALOUS! i am dying to try vitamuffins/vitatops/vita-products!!!
I NEVER HAVE!!!
lol and hurray for baked tofu!!
beggars can’t be choosers. lol
that made me laugh. so true!
HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND LADY LOVE!
AH IM SO JELAOUS OF YOUR VITAMUFFIN STASH.
they are so delicious 🙂
love the tofu too
sorry about your computer :
I haven’t had a VitaTop in a long time! I put mine in the toaster oven for a little bit of toasty goodness on the outside. I haven’t had every kind, but I think they’re great for a sweet craving fix!
I also tried to eat a pomegranite at my desk once, it ended up looking like I tried to murder something with my hands, desk, and the knife all covered in dark red stuff.
Love quinoa! Have you tried Israeil couscous (not regular couscous)? It’s similar, but I think that it’s tastier. I can send you some if you’ve never had it..
I love vitatops and brownies, I just don’t have the freezer room to order them. it would be unfair to the roomies. enjoy, we will miss you!
