thai tofu

Philly: Continental

  My groothie was the perfect energy boost I needed so I could walk the long way home from center city. But it didn’t stop me from enjoying a pre-dinner dessert snack.   I managed to stop half way through this frosting filled cookie delight but da-yam it was hard.  The cookie was thin enough that it didn’t dominate the sandwich, but the frosting was still balanced.  Yeah, it was sweet, but I was expecting it to be over the top excessive (which it actually wasn’t).  It was goooood. Before I ruined my appetite completely,… Read more >

Thai in twenty

Snack: carrots & noochy hummus Ok, for some random reason, this batch of Cedar’s hummus doesn’t have much going on in the flavor department…which is odd considering it’s my #1 brand… Read more >

Turn that frown upside down

You all give me such love.  I swear.  Each and every comment about my stressed out blog hiatus filled my heart.  Since I don’t wanna be Debbie Downer, rather than rehash all the reasons why the past few days of work sucked, I’ll just brush that dirt off my shoulder, and move the eff on.  On a positive note, there were a couple of pretty sweet things that happened this week that cheered me up and (nearly) snapped me right out of my funk.  The first was Tuesday’s dinner at Galanga, a small thai restaurant… Read more >
