Stuffing in Spring

  I rarely care about special holiday meals on day’s I work (usually I just reschedule holiday celebrations* as it suits my hospital schedule), but for some reason I was dead set on an Easter Dinner that didn’t involve reheating leftovers.  However, as I already shared, I was at the hospital all weekend.  Which meant Kyle ditched Santa Monica to spend the holiday with his parents.  Which meant I was in charge of providing whatever “special something” I wanted for myself.  Cooking a real meal (without the microwave) after 12+ hours of nursing is ludicrous. … Read more >

For Popeye

Somehow the topic of childhood cartoons came up the other day and I mentioned how much loved Popeye. It was one of my top three for sure.  Yogi Bear and Woody the Woodpecker were other favorites.  But the idea of Popeye chowing down on spinach and saving the world made me so happy as a wee one.

Pizza. Stat.

Here’s what happened tonight. I wasn’t hungry.  Wasn’t hungry.  Wasn’t hungry. BAM!  I need pizza.  Now.  Like NOW. I was out the door in under 5 minutes with a mission.  And I was back home within 15 minutes box in hand. I ate the whole thing.  Solo.  [vegan pizza with daiya courtesy of the Santa Monica Co-Op] True Life.  My appetite is bigger than your appetite. If there were ever a stat order for pizza, this was it.  Damn girl. FYI, I made these cookies today, too.  I’m so 100% content right now.  🙂
