Carbs with a side of carbs

More pasta?  What the?     Let me explain.  Kyle likes noodles.  And he really likes noodles with tomato sauce.  I think they’re okay, but Italian is really not my thing.  I make it every so often to appease him (also it’s probably the quickest and easiest meal to make).  Boil water.  Congrats, your a chef!  So yeah, here’s how I cheat and make him think I’ve turned water into wine ground beef into hearty vegan sauce.  When the noodles are almost done but still al dente, I drain the water and add two frozen veggie… Read more >

What I Ate

It’s been a long time since I did a “what I ate in a day” style post, but I feel like returning to my OG format for the a moment.  Here goes.

Philly: Old Nelson on the go

After brunch, my parents had to head to the airport, but Kyle and I still had a few hours to kill. We filled the time with a long stroll through campus followed by a trip to the 30th street train station.  We bought SEPTA tickets to the airport and food for the flight.  I’m sorry (but not really?) to say, I didn’t make into a Wawa over the weekend.   For non-Philly readers, I’d liken the chain to 7-Eleven, but for me the nostalgia of getting both coffee and soft pretzels is what makes the… Read more >
