Hot-urday

Last weekend’s (eek, super delayed post, this is from 2 weekends ago!!) al fresco was indoors because IT. IS. SO. HOT. I pretend like I’m upset about this, but in reality, my complaints are all big fat lies.  I love the sun.  Summer months are the sh!t.  But maybe I should back up.  I actually took pics of the whole day’s eats.  Well, almost.   I had banana bread with two eggs for breakfast.  We went to the co-op and the farmer’s market for grocery shopping, followed by a lunch date at Crepeville.   I… Read more >

Five to nine weekend

My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend.    Because we had a birthday party for my dad!!  He’s 59 years young!  I’ll get to the party details later.   I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway.  Food schmood right?  P disagrees.  He’s digging the solids.  We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

Weekly Recap

This week was fun.  Busy and not busy in perfect amounts.  One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts.  It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done.  And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself.  It’s lovely.  Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts   Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

Workity work

Hey!  I’m alive!  Ish. This week was crazy.  [Life is crazy]  So many emotions.  Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing.  Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another.  And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another.  All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit.  I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that).  Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

A salad for Mrs. Dubrow

   Summer salads are best served chilled with a cold beer am I right?  Or wine if you’re too fancy for B minus.  Or champagne if you’re Heather Dubrow.  <— yep, I’m getting my Real Housewives fix on bravotv.com For the record, I’m not hating on Mrs. Dubrow.  I happen to love the bubbly myself.  And even though she’s nicknamed “fancy pants”, I bet you she’d like this salad.  But I digress.  You’re here for food not my take on D-list celebs.   I don’t know what the heck to call this dish since every… Read more >
