Easter weekend

I survived!  This past weekend was my first string of shifts back at the hospital after two weeks on my death bed.  I’m still on antibiotics and my ear and head are still congested (and requiring their own med cocktail), but my cough is loose and minimal and I can breath, stand upright and walk.  I’m like a human again!  Hooray.  Still no exercise though.  Which meant Kyle ran the Hollywood Half by himself.   Since I was at work, Ethel and her sister took over official cheerleading duties.  How cute is their poster?!?

Finding Falafel Republic

The worst thing about falling in love with a product is becoming obsessed with it and then having it get discontinued.  This is why I have a love/hate relationship with Trader Joe’s and Costco.  I LOVE when I discover awesome new CHEAP veggie products.  But I HATE when I return to the grocery store to replenish my stash and it’s nowhere to be found.  And it happens ALL the time! Case in point: peanut flour Over a year ago, I bought a big tub of Falafel Republic’s falafel balls.  They were outstanding – the perfect… Read more >

Not that Nestle

I don’t get too political on HHH, but still, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that I’m a big fan of Marion Nestle. FYI, the fact she shares her name with this company makes Kyle giggle.    Considering what she promotes, it is pretty ironic. I subscribe to her blog Food Politics, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to stay current on important issues like pink slime, organic farming, GMO legislature, and other hot topics.  Her latest post deals with diet and weight loss which she addresses in her new book Why Calories… Read more >

Orange Julius

When I was in junior high, we had an elective called MASH.  It was made up of four subjects that we would rotate through over the year, one per quarter.  I can’t remember what the first two letters stood for (how pathetic!), but the “S” was for shop and the “H” was for home ec.  The reason I remember these is because they were the most impressionable.  I’d never touched a sanding machine and I had no clue how to sew before those classes.  In shop I made a jewelry box and a door knocker… Read more >

Easter winners

Last Easter was memorable in the worst possible way.  You always hope holiday shifts are going to be at least a touch more cheery and low key than regular ones.  Not handcuffs.  And definitely not assault. This year I’m at the hospital on Easter Sunday (again)…and being the superstitious person that I am, the anniversary of my worst shift ever is very much on my mind.  So send some positive thoughts my way, okay?  In return, I’ll show you all the recipes I owe you and will eventually blog about. Overnight crock-pot grits. Spinach and… Read more >
