Dear Readers

I need your help. You will be handsomely rewarded… With waffles. Allow me to explain. A few months ago a company was born called Surprisingly Vegan. You may recall my elusive post at the beginning of the process back in October.  I was so excited I could hardly contain myself, but now I can share the news with you all.  Kyle and some fellow MBA students at UCLA are starting up a line of vegan, gluten-free products.  [!!!!] Normally I cringe when business crap is the topic of discussion at the dinner table (slash anywhere),… Read more >

Wilshire-versary

Soooo, let’s just get this out of the way.  There’s been a glitch in the system.  Thanks to Google I have no account, and so my life is a little bit scrambled at the moment.  I feel oh-so-lucky to be one of the chosen deactivated 0.02% (sarcasm much)… I’m sorry the announcement of my giveaway was delayed (I couldn’t access the chart I was tracking everyone’s entries on).  Sorry kids!  It appears a peace treaty has been reached between myself and Google right now.  Let this be a lesson, though – back yo shiz up! … Read more >

Hummus and taxes

I’m pretty sure my version of the phrase is just as true (and not nearly as morbid).  I mean really, is there anything more certain in life than the fact that I’ll consume pounds and pounds of hummus?  No.  The burden of taxes, on the other hand, is a far less joyous inevitability. Kyle and I have nearly finished ours, though, so at least that will be one big check off the to-do list.  I have to say, moving to a different state and starting new jobs certainly made things more difficult this year.  Good… Read more >
