Laziness continued. Coffee. Coffee. Fruit. Coffee. A perfect Sunday morning (“morning” being used loosely since I slept in a LOT). Random fact: I really love fruit salad but I never make it because I like it when it’s already at least a day old. That means I have to plan ahead so I get the exact level of oxidized fruit. I also think that bananas are the essence of any good fruit salad. That’s why I made this salad the night before. It had apples, strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, and bananas. If it… Read more >

Is there anything better than a long weekend? Yes. And that’s a long weekend house dog sitting here. With sunny weather, golf course views, and a well stocked fridge, there’s no reason to venture further than the community pool. Agreed? We drove down to San Juan Capistrano on Thursday evening and stayed through Monday. Some friends joined us for part of the time. We cooked. We ate. We drank. We relaxed. The weekend may as well be titled “blissful nothingness”. It was perfect. When we first arrived, the priority was dinner. That’s what 3 hours… Read more >

You know that phrase “real men eat meat”? Well, real men eat plants, too. Satiating meals with adequate micro and macronutrients can be made without animals. And Kyle can attest to that. Lentil & barley stew. Not only do real men eat plants, but they follow directions too! Black eyed pea succotash and white rice. As you can see, I only have a leftover portion photographed. You see, this dish was thrown together last week, but didn’t make it on the blog because Kyle ate most of it. I never felt compelled… Read more >

Kyle and I made a resolution this year to sit down to a real dinner together every Sunday night. It may be hard on the weekends that I work, but we will do our best. Family dinner #1 – roasted broccoli, quinoa and barley, Field Roast smoked tomato loaf. I put 1 cup dry quinoa and 1 cup dry barley in the rice cooker before we headed out to play tennis together. I left it on the “keep warm” setting until it was time for dinner. Then I fluffed it up before serving. The… Read more >

The flood actually started Sunday morning, and after four unreturned calls to our landlord we took matters into our own hands and began calling plumbers. Apparently Sundays aren’t ideal for your pipes to burst because we called every plumber in Santa Monica and nobody returned our calls…until 30 minutes later. We finally got one guy to agree to come look at the sink…after putting down a $100 deposit. He didn’t arrive until 75 minutes later. At that point we had several drenched towels and one full a$$ bucket. He “worked” on the leak for… Read more >
