Adrenaline rush 30,000 feet in the air

Before I even GET to my Olympics recap, I have to describe to you the craziest flight I have ever been on.  EVER.  You see, there’s a reason I don’t have many food pictures from my 5 hour flight, and it has to do with this simple phrase: “Is there anyone on the plane in the medical field?” [Insert profanity here]  The good news (for them)?  I was on board.  The bad news (for me)?  I was on board.  At first, when I heard the flight attendants call for help, I got a rush of… Read more >

Vancouver time

By the time you read this, I am likely in the upper itty-bitty corner of WA chilling at the in-laws casa before heading across the border to Vancouver.  Kyle and I put in a bid for Olympics tix decades ago and, amazingly enough, we got them for a pretty stellar event.  If you keep your eyes peeled to your TV sets during the men’s US v. Canada ice hockey game, I promise I will try my best to do something obnoxious enough to get some air time (think stars & stripes face painting).  I’m currently… Read more >

Dessert three times a day

Cough-E & a Caramel Apple Diggin’ the froth?  Do it!  Do the Stonyfield people know that their Oikos greek yogurt is borderline sinful when combined with apples?  Caramel apples for breakfast with NO guilt whatsoever?  Uh, that gets two thumbs up.  Now that’s a dessert that Gigi can start her day with, controversy free.  Maybe.  Lunch was so boring, I almost don’t want to show it.  Boca vegan burgers open faced on Vermont soft wheat bread with Tribe roasted red pepper hummus.  You can’t go wrong when combining bread and hummus, so as basic as this… Read more >

If it’s midnight, is it still dinner?

I don’t know much about snowboarding jumps but Saun White’s triple McSwoopy Loop Double CrissCross Uppity looked infinitely cooler than any other athlete’s trick.  Wow.  Anyways, here are my fabulous work eats. Because of all the ah-maze comments you guys left me, I decided to give the oatmeal raisin GNU flavor & fiber bar a second shot, and I will definitely be getting some of the other flavors to try as well…it was definitely better than the ThinkThin bar I had.  I bought a bunch of these ThinkThin nasties all at once (like months ago),… Read more >

Be still my Delicata heart

I don’t know how this beaut escaped my taste buds for so long, but now that I’ve found it, I’m not letting it go.  This squash just blew my former #1 (butternut) way out of the water. Dear Mr. Butternut squash, You were good to me for a while.  You stood the test of time as I experimented with various other squash varieties.  Acorn had nothing on you, pumpkins were a close call, but in the end you prevailed.  Spaghetti squash are fun to play with, but can’t stand alone.  Even the much adored Kabocha… Read more >
