Mother Nature must be mad

Can you believe this weather?  Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant.  There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today.  Brrr.  I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty. The big boy on the left contained spinach, steamed zucchini, carrots, brocc, chopped celery, chickpeas, and dried cranz.  Holy ingredients.  The smaller side tupperware had delicata squash (I finally found it again! yes!!) with raisins. Do… Read more >

Gorilla Food in Vancouver

As I have mentioned before, my (future) in-laws are completely supportive and respectful of my vegan lifestyle.  So much so, that they did research before we headed to Vancouver and had a perfect lunch spot all picked out.

What the Olympics taught me

1)  Canadians are super nice, welcoming, and very friendly. (Kyle nearly had a heart attack as I took out my camera while we were passing the border patrol…whatever, I live on the edge…) 2)  Canadians are pretty die hard when it comes to ice hockey. (These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg in fanatic behavior) (The sea of red as we were waiting to get let into the stadium) (Maple leaf much?) 3)  Vancouver has almost as many Starbucks’ as Manhattan (read: I was in caffeine heaven). (I’m fairly certain that my patriotic… Read more >

Adrenaline rush 30,000 feet in the air

Before I even GET to my Olympics recap, I have to describe to you the craziest flight I have ever been on.  EVER.  You see, there’s a reason I don’t have many food pictures from my 5 hour flight, and it has to do with this simple phrase: “Is there anyone on the plane in the medical field?” [Insert profanity here]  The good news (for them)?  I was on board.  The bad news (for me)?  I was on board.  At first, when I heard the flight attendants call for help, I got a rush of… Read more >
