I can’t even believe I have the good fortune of attending Expo West again this year.  Last year was epic.  I came home with enough swag to last a lifetime. Here’s a preview of some of the companies I’m most thrilled to check out this year: Starting with the baked goods… Love Grown Foods Udi’s Gluten Free Silver Hills Bakery Alvarado Street Bakery Food For Life/Ezekiel One Degree Organic Foods Kettle Foods Dr. Kracker Attune Foods Glutino Bob’s Red Mill Barbara’s Bakery Nana’s Way Better Snacks Arnel’s Gluten Free OMG!

Nurse out of water

Ordinarily I don’t mind floating, but today I was SO not in the mood for it.  Fish out of water x 12 hours…blah. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it’s nice to spend a day with a different patient population – like sampling yogurt, you get a small taste without having to commit.  But I also love routine (who doesn’t?) and after working yesterday, I was looking forward to having the familiarity that comes with a second shift in a row.  Even when patients are busy I’m still able to get a sense of rhythm by… Read more >

Just a Wednesday

You must be sick of non-food (aka house progress) posts by now, huh? Ok, how about my work food for a change of pace (slash return to the real reason I blog).

Progress

Hey look!  An office! Now my crap is actually semi-organized. Kyle was getting really tired of seeing FODMAPs research articles and GI studies piled up all over our old apartment, so he gifted me some file cabinets in the “office” of our new place.  Such a romantic, that one. As you can see, the casa is coming along quite nicely. Our extra bedroom is big enough to double as an office and workout room.  And guest bedroom, of course. While unpacking we found a box of electronics that would make Steve Jobs roll over in… Read more >
