After dancing spastically bopping around the apartment (all evening), singing my own made-up lyrics to the slumdog millionaire song, Kyle insisted I was being retarded and there was NO way they were screaming “die ho.” As usual, he was right…I did some googling, and that’s how the title of the post came about. At least now he has nothing one fewer complaint with my energetic insanely obnoxious performance.
Anyways…focus Elise…oh that’s right, food!
In today’s coffee I frothed my soymilk with some sf vanilla syrup…I’m turning into a little barista!
PB puffins :) I heated these up for a few seconds…thanks to some brilliant blogger advice…and my oh my, talk about a whole new discovery! These just keep getting better and better!!
I did spent the morning doing spanish exercises out of Kyle’s workbook (he takes weekly private lessons to keep his espanol up to par). My skillz are in NO such shape. Still (I’m not sure how) I came to be the translator on the unit, so, at the bare minimum, I should master the “at the hospital” chapter.
Want some new vocab? La enfermera le tomaba el pulso y la tension atrerial del paciente, y despues le dieron una inyeccion de un calmante por via intrevenosa. I snacked on apple slices, to give my brain fuel. Sometimes, I miss school (not the tests or studying part, just the learning part).
Later I had some fresh fruit. And added some to a bowl of o’soy vanilla yogurt…
Zoom!
This combo was fantastic! I had been craving natural sweetness all morning…
Lunch dessert (dried fruit and a crossword) – papaya spears, carob covered raisins, and figs (as if I actually need to specify).
Insert: random errands + outside run in the park (sunshine, hooray!!)
While I was out and about I had this gem! I’ve been really into coconut lately (ahem…coconut date rolls?) so I thought this would be a good on-the-go treat. Now, I know this will be shocking to all you foodies (which is why I rarely mention it), but I hate nuts. Still, I know how healthy they are, so I am constantly trying to mature my taste buds (let’s just say I had a traumatic experience when I was very young that I’m still trying to overcome). It was actually really good. I like the density of larabars, they are filling without feeling like a brick in your stomach, but odwalla bars will always be my fave (sorry if this upsets all the larabar lovers out there).
Apple #2 for the day.
Thanks to my lovely tivo the devil, I somehow wound up watching the Barbara Walters’ special – it’s a miracle I could stomach an hour without the letter “r” but I did. Most of it sucked, but something Anne Hathaway said did get me thinking…where do I see myself in 10 years, what’s on my must-do list for the future? Not bucket list items (finish a marathon), not obvious hopes (married, living in California). I just mean future Elise. I know I want to travel everywhere, but now I’m inspired to think of some more specific aspirations…
Anyways, time to get dinner rolling.
BN squash, steamed brocc, and seitan strips (all on a bed of lettuce, with a dollop of greek yog on the side for dipping)
Then I had some leftover edamame.
I wanted something chocolaty after dinner, fortunately, I had another carton of chocolate soy milk. I pounded this – seriously, it was not lady like. I had half of it straight from the carton, and the only reason I stopped to pour the rest in a glass was because I had a brain freeze from drinking so fast!
Well done, me.
Dessert, you better believe it!!!
My last cuppa SCSR tea, but only for now…(light bulb moment). I discovered you can buy the holiday flavors year round on their website! Score!
When is Gossip Girl coming back 🙁
P.S. Check out what HangryPants is giving away!!!
JAAIII HOOOOOOOooooo!!! hahaha omg I’ve been watching that all day! He has been on seriously every channel and talk show today! I need to see that movie..slash just buy that song 😀 Love it.
PS..my blogger verification word is, Sperm…awk.
Oh wow, love your tasty eats – especially the abundance of fruits!!! =D
I’m so depressed about Gossip Girl. My roommate said March 16th. WTF!?!
Tasty eats!
So I’ve heard seemingly nothing great about sleumdog millionaire … is it as good as they say?
Have a great Tuesday! : )
What I eat every single night:
2 cups Peanut Butter Puffins heated up in a bowl (for 30 seconds) with 1 cup hempmilk.
Hehe – your version of the Slumdog song made me smile. My husband always get the lyrics wrong, but kudos to you AND him for trying. 🙂
I miss learning too. As a history major, I read, read, read, and researched. Now, as I a massage therapist, I work mostly in a quiet room. I love my job, but I miss intellectual stimulation, and I feel like everything I learned is slipping away. 🙁
No nuts?!? That’s okay, I still love you, especially after reading that you drank straight from the soy milk carton!
You gotta stop it with all this carob covered raisin action…it’s killing me!
I was LITERALLY just listening to that song you’re talking about and I about died when I saw Kyle’s version!
THAT’S MY FAV LARA!!! I just picked up 5 of them 🙂 Go big or go home, ya hurrrd?!
wait, i’m confused? you heat up the puffins, or just the milk? don’t the puffins get really soggy when heated?!
I bought the Puffins cereal at Whole Foods last night and tried them this morning w/ blueberries and it was delish! I could have eaten another big bowl of those bad boys! I have the same question as RodeyGirl though, do you heat them up after you add the milk? For how long?
I’m also hesitant to get chocolate soymilk again because I’m a chugger too and it never lasts more than 2-3 days. For a creamy chocolate fix I’ll usually make chocolate pudding or something…chocolate is my kryptonite.
your seitan always looks so good! i have never bought it in the store, because i never know what brand to buy. any suggestions?
i dont think gossip girl comes back until the end of march! 🙁
Your eats look so good! So many good fruits and veggies 🙂 What seitan do you use?
I like Die Ho better
and your header picture is the most frightening thing i have ever seen

oh goodness everything looks awesome – espeically the kiwi.
love the LARABAR 🙂
i’m so glad i’m not the only one currently OBSESSED with that song! i’ve been doing funny wish-i-could-dance-like-them sweet dance moves around the casa for the past two days
that’s my favorite lara flavor 😀
have a wonderful day!
lesley – YES! such a great movie
kristen and sabrina – i warm it after i add the milk (i kinda like soggy cereal)
andrea and alessa – i use the west soy brand traditionally seasoned seitan (its in a blue box) and its great!
Interesting puffin making!
I’ve been singing that song since Sunday!
