Work lunches and champagne

Sorry to go AWOL on you all this weekend…I was livin’ it up in the hospital (or a less fun sounding version of that story).  Either way, I was packing lunches, eating on the fly, and here’s the quick and dirty… Saturday Salad, fruit, veg, bacteria coated baggy, super protein Odwalla bar.  First at bat, a salad with spinach, red bell pepps, edamame, raw cauliflower, and dried cranz (with a heavy handed pour of Bragg’s liquid aminos on top). On deck, a bag of carrots, and a bag of pretzels (and by the way, I… Read more >

A big effing deal

I’m not sure what all the hype is about…I mean at least our country’s leaders understand how important and significant their work is.  By no means is this blog a political one, but I just think that after pushing and pushing and pushing for this bill, it’s somewhat of a relief to see Biden drop an F-bomb over something so major for our nation.  I mean, what seems more genuine, sign on the dotted line with a poker face or bleep your way to the podium (I’m liking the second option, but I’m also a… Read more >

Flashback Friday: The Engagement

Guess what blog trend made it’s way to hippie-ville?  The flashback series!  Ok, not really series, since this is the first (and only) installment.  It just so happens that last year, on March 28th, my best friend asked me to marry him.  Happiness.  Shock.  Pure.  Elated.  Love.  Crissy Field, San Francisco.

A sad salad kind of day

Do you see the problem here? I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I was packing this food up…clearly there was no shot in hell that this amount of food would tide me over for my entire 12 hour shift.  Salad? Check. Apples? Double check. Pretz/carob/raisins? Check.  Drank? Check. And yet, all those goodies weren’t even close to enough food…by my 2 pm lunch break I was left with nothing but my ensalada.  Where the bars at, yo?!?! Indeed, supplementation was very necessary (see below).   I bought this big a$$ tub of nuts/carob… Read more >

Curry cravings

***Holy crap you guys like oats!  I’m loving all the entries to my giveaway, so keep ‘em coming!!*** Well, if yesterday I forgot what the gym was, today I forgot what work was… Apparently, several days off in a row –> Reality check!  [Ouch] At least I remembered how to pack a lunch…look at all the colors!  I literally think my work eats managed to rep’ every color (can we count the dried cranz as purple?).  It may be a stretch but I’m calling it poetic license.  Deal. Apple. Apple. Bar. Bar. Bar. Salad. Carrots…. Read more >
