Can’taloupe

A few fruits, like grapes and melon, give me reflux trouble.  It’s not that I can’t eat them, it’s just that I have to eat them alone, stay upright afterwards, and not exercise.  Cantaloupe is one of the main culprits, but I think I found a way to work around it.  Blender! Ignore the color, this was awesome.    It was also crazy healthy – packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats! See that green powder?  That’s the latest item to join the hippie kitchen.    Um.  Whoa.  What I like about this Antioxidant Omega-3… Read more >

A bit bruised

So here’s the sitch.   Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days.  Problem?  Yes.  It gets worse.  I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift.  I feel like I got hit by a bus.  I am so so sore.  It’s unbelievable.  I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised.  I basically feel stiff all over.  Anyway.  I don’t… Read more >

Norway nights

Kyle’s cousin from Norway is visiting, so even though I’ve been working for most of her time in LA, I managed to join up for dinner and drinks the other night. We got drinks at The Misfit (rapidly climbing the charts in favorite Santa Monica bar/restaurants).  The above is a Gin Fizz – minus egg whites which are apparently a normal component of the drink?  Weird.  The drink was delightful, but got me kinda wasted.  I’m so pathetic.  It takes nothing to get me drunk nowadays.  Fortunately we were off to dinner after that. Stopped… Read more >

Just add Sabra

To know me is to know I love hummus.  I mean really.  Even my coworkers (who don’t know jack diddley about me) know that I’m a chickpea connoisseur.  So how excited was I to get this in the mail?!?   SO EXCITED!  Naturally, I already had Sabra in the fridge because it’s the best.  And you can buy it in bulk at Costco.  I try to be rational when I’m in the super store, but when I see rows and rows of family sized tubs something happens to me.  I can’t explain it.  We almost… Read more >

Happy Fourth!

I’m working today, but I plan to join up with Kyle and friends as soon as I’m outta the hospital.  I may shower first.  But it depends on how many patients poop on me today…too graphic?  My bad. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane.  Can you believe one year ago today I was drinking away my singledom at my bachelorette party in Las Vegas?!?!   It was definitely one of the best weekends of my life.  At least I think it was.  My memory isn’t… Read more >
