Work Holiday Party

The office x-mas (or holiday to be PC) party was at Cibo, which is a Zagat staple, and was named one of the best restaurants in NYC in 2001, having been called a “New American-Italian hotspot located in the landmark Daily News building, a neighborhood favorite for locals looking for inventive fare.” Immediately upon arriving, we both had drinks in our hands. Seriously, I had hardly checked my coat, and I was half a glass of wine into the night. 1, 2, 3 glasses later I was feeling prettyyyy toasty. As more and more people… Read more >

Operation: Don’t set hair on fire!

Hooray! I love weekends šŸ™‚ Since I didn’t have work, I slept in today, which felt amazing. Then, Kyle headed off to MindsMatter, so I curled up with a cup (or 2) of coffee with soymilk (no froth) and watched Home Alone. Such an x-mas classic. I had the last of my bag of dates too. Looks like I’ll need to make a grocery run this weekend, a date-less apartment is a no-no. I also started off my weekend cooking by baking some tofu. Drained and pressed tofu below. After an hour in the oven… Read more >

re-defining the big salad

Woke up at 5 am to a tummy ache šŸ™ Not an ideal start to the day, but off to work I went…I didn’t really want coffee (that’s never a good sign). I got a big smartwater on my subway commute and felt a bit better after I pounded that. It was quite a back and forth work day, but it ultimately ended well. The meals started in a similar pattern, but then took a turn for the worse. For some unknown reason, whenever I work on Fridays, I seem to think I deserve to… Read more >

(don’t) stand under my umbrella, ella, ella

I HATE rain!!! Ugh. Today’s weather makes me want to curl up in a ball under a blanket and never come out again until April/May. This is why I am not meant to be a East Coast-er/New Yorker. My umbrella was inside out 90% of the time, so I arrived to work with scrubs that weighed an extra 5 lbs and an afro (fabulous). There is very little else in the world that is more frustrating than dealing with a non-functional umbrella in a torrential downpour. Okay, enough complaining…on to the food. I was super… Read more >

sCURRYumptious

Last night I definitely woke up 6 times to pee…it might have something to do with my bedtime fluid loading (I’m really annoyed by this cold).Right before I went to bed I had a cup of tea and a glass of pink lemonade flavored Emergen-C. This pink packet was in my “Pilates for Pink” gift bag (yes, from October) and I randomly came across it yesterday, talk about good timing!Cut to today…I feel MUCH better. I woke up at 9 (boo) and was STARVING!! Weird. Anyways, I decided to make the ratio of my morning… Read more >
