bye bye beijing

Hooray!  My boyfriend is back šŸ™‚ We (sorta) slept in, but first thing upon waking, Kyle made us some nice frothy American coffee.  I think he missed the ā€˜bucks while in China.  Check out the MASSIVE mug he brought me home (I have an obsession with huge coffee mugs, especially Starbucksā€™ mugs from different cities). Brekkie: Soynut butter on whole wheat tortillas.  Look at all those delish grains and flax seeds!  I love this brand of tortillas! I also had a blueberry Chobz.  I am really loving these flavored ones.  I think blueberry is my… Read more >

those mines arenā€™t going to sweep themselves

Oh sweet Sabado!!!  I love weekends! Coffee + crossword = life is good.  Did I mention my BOYFRIEND is coming home today.  China has had him far too long.  I broke the fast with PB puffinsā€¦ What a heavenly bowl of cereal.

Things are missing…

Discovery!! Hot water and a shot of POM = yummmmmm! I woke up with a grrrrowling stomach, so I knew I had to have something before I hit the subway.

Naturally I still stopped at the ‘bucks on the way to work for the real deal. I packed… Read more >

WHAT am I going to do now that Top Chef is over? I miss Padma and Tom already šŸ™ To answer a few questions I got last post about my sushi skillz: I do have a sushi making kit that I got from Kyle a few years ago. It was a surprise anniversary present (I swear, I have THE most thoughtful BF). Since we lived in San Francisco at the time, we got tons of fresh stuff at the market in the Ferry Building (on of my fave places) and then we got even more… Read more >

rolls in my tummy

Woohoo…I finally made my own sushi! It’s been on my 2009 to-do list, and we all know how much i LOVE checking things off lists šŸ™‚ But that’s dinner, and I’m type A, so let’s get back to the beginning, already!Coffee (duh).Note: snow on the window (still) Brekkie wrap: soy bacon, “eggs” and avo in a flax wrap-upJealous? You should be, it was bomb.com My coconut date rolls look like a reverse AT&T ad (or whatever company it is that does the “more bars in more places” ad) – that’s what she said! For lunch… Read more >
