Jai Ho (Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane)

After dancing spastically bopping around the apartment (all evening), singing my own made-up lyrics to the slumdog millionaire song, Kyle insisted I was being retarded and there was NO way they were screaming “die ho.”  As usual, he was right…I did some googling, and that’s how the title of the post came about.  At least now he has nothing one fewer complaint with my energetic insanely obnoxious performance. Anyways…focus Elise…oh that’s right, food! In today’s coffee I frothed my soymilk with some sf vanilla syrup…I’m turning into a little barista! PB puffins :)   I heated… Read more >

and the oscar goes to…

Today was a repeat of yesterday.  Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up.  Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend.  Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored.  I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s.  I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry.  I also… Read more >

sleep in, do nada

Love how detailed my weekend plans were?    When you have no agenda, it’s pretty easy to stick to it…coffee, check.  B-fast, check. Alvarado street bread toasted with greek yog and “egg” on top.  I lazed the AM away watching the Real Housewives of NYC, while Kyle rolled his eyes and made sarcastic remarks throughout(sometimes crap TV is the best way to start the weekend).  Clearly Bethanny is going to continue to provide the majority of the show’s entertainment for the second season, too.  Apparently, my breakfasts even get their own desserts now! Crunch! I… Read more >

T.G.I.H(ummus)

The aroma just opening this bag was intoxicating (I lurrrrve the smell of fresh coffee grounds)…I mixed it with half regular coffee from the bucks, so the choc/rasp flavor was super subtle and quite nice.  To be honest, I couldn’t really taste the raspberry much at all.  Either way, it has caffeine, so mission accomplished. I started the day with a ridiculously heaping bowl of PB puffins.  Kids, this box isn’t gonna last much longer – these babies are TOO good for words. I figured I’d get the show on the road with the bag… Read more >

I.M.Healthy

I woke up to another day of ick weather.  It’s so hard to get excited for the day when you know it’s going to be spent mostly indoors.  But then I found a surprise PACKAGE at the door!!!  What could it be…?? The wonderful people over at I.M. Healthy sent me my FAVE soynut butter, both creamy AND chocolate flavors!  I LOVE this stuff!!  Since you all have been asking about soynut butter, now you can see this amazing product, and go out and get it, to try it first hand.  It’s the perfect combination… Read more >
