Working on the weekends isn’t too bad when the days are mellow and the weather is mediocre (I swear I heard the phrase “June gloom” six hundred and fifty three times yesterday). Having interesting patients helps too… My shift flew by and as 7 pm approached I texted dinner plans to Kyle. me: Veggie Grill take-away tonight? kyle: yes. what do you want? me: Baja Fiesta salad, add chik’n, dressing on the side Done and done. I got this same order last time so I knew it would hit the spot. This time I… Read more >

I’m not an overly dramatic person (must be the residual effects of my tomboy youth…) but I have to say, the lack of candied ginger in ALL the local Whole Foods stores has me freaking out. I am officially out. Like Kyle’s chapstick stash, I had back-ups upon back-ups, but they are all depleted now. Yikes. Hoarding fail. It gets worse! The above photo is the last of my carob chip stash too. Folks, this is a state of national emergency. My pre-packed work eats will just have to do without my beloved ginge. … Read more >

I also made a pita pie (for those of you who keep asking about… Read more >

Just wait and see… [Laura captures the sentiments of the day in one photo] Allow me to preface this with some background deets. After a generous amount of research Laura and I had determined the two day museum pass was definitely the most cost effective option for Paris sight-seeing. It was 35 Euro and included nearly everything we wanted to do, including admission to the Palace in Versailles. Seeing as Laura and… Read more >

M is for microwave, what is your favorite microwave meal/snack? Sweet potatoes are one thing that I’ve always preferred to microwave over cooking in the oven. It’s faster and yields a very similar (if not better) steamed tater. [The exception to this is if you are making fries out of them] There’s also the matter of oats. Although I prefer the stove top version (and always make them on the stove when I’m home), I do microwave oats when I bring them for work. It’s so simple, it’s hard to knock it. N is for… Read more >
