Emergently

I’m not an overly dramatic person (must be the residual effects of my tomboy youth…) but I have to say, the lack of candied ginger in ALL the local Whole Foods stores has me freaking out.  I am officially out.  Like Kyle’s chapstick stash, I had back-ups upon back-ups, but they are all depleted now.  Yikes.  Hoarding fail.   It gets worse!  The above photo is the last of my carob chip stash too.  Folks, this is a state of national emergency.  My pre-packed work eats will just have to do without my beloved ginge. … Read more >

If I had to summarized Monday through Thursday in a single post…well…I can’t, so I don’t know how to end that sentence.  But, where I was going with that intro was to say my week has been packed and amazing. Highlights reel?  Sure, why not. Monday slash Tuesday I had night shift stuff.  The only thing of note food-wise was how many berries I consumed over the course of the day.  I have likely met my Vitamin C quota until October.  I also made a pita pie (for those of you who keep asking about… Read more >

Breakfast came really late on Saturday.  After saying goodbye to my sis (until we reunite in Europe in May), Kyle and I drove back to Santa Monica so I… Read more >

An Ode to Breaking the Fast

Rumor has it, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And when you think about it, if such decadent oats (like the almond, cashew & apple packed number above) are my morning baseline, then things are looking pretty good. This bowl makes me want to sing “on top of old smokeyyyy” and I have no idea why.  Anyone else remember that song?  Hmmm…may need to wikipedia it. Edited to add: On Top Of Old Smoky is about some mountain that may or may not be in the Ozarks or the central Appalachians…but the… Read more >

Dear Readers

I need your help. You will be handsomely rewarded… With waffles. Allow me to explain. A few months ago a company was born called Surprisingly Vegan. You may recall my elusive post at the beginning of the process back in October.  I was so excited I could hardly contain myself, but now I can share the news with you all.  Kyle and some fellow MBA students at UCLA are starting up a line of vegan, gluten-free products.  [!!!!] Normally I cringe when business crap is the topic of discussion at the dinner table (slash anywhere),… Read more >
