I don’t know how I pulled this off

I am not really much of a baker.  Baking involves things like measuring and following recipes because it is a matter of chemistry and science, what with the flour and the baking powder and the baking soda.  Or at least, that’s what I’ve heard.
But for part of a holiday present I wanted to make some [...]

I don’t understand

I bought one of those Pure Protein bars from Trader Joe’s over the weekend because I’ve heard that they are really good and I wanted to try one.  I mean, Kate practically lived off them for two weeks, so I figured they must be really fantastic because I’m not even sure I could eat ice [...]

Second best

Well, I found it.  It’s not quite as good as this, but it’s very creamy and if I had my eyes closed I might think it was regular ice cream:

It’s way, way, way better than any other soy ice cream I’ve ever had, but not quite good enough to make me want to have four [...]

Long post about small things

Thanks for all the lactose-related tips from the other day.  I know that I will probably be able to eat Sun Chips and butter and yogurt, but for some reason my doctor said not to until I go back in two weeks.  I’m serious.  I specifically asked about the Sun Chips.
In the comments of [...]

Temptation

Look at what Chris brought home from Pittsburgh:

An entire box of chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate peanut butter covered pretzels.  And it’s deep.  There are like fifty packages or something crazy.  I already had a pack and a half yesterday, and I’m thinking about another right now.  I think it’s safe to say that I [...]

Hello, Monday

Another Sunday night…blah!  That’s what I think about that.
Here’s the weekend eats:
On Friday, I didn’t get to post again because I ran out of time before I had to meet Chris for the movie.  But for lunch, I had some more of that Trader Joe’s vegan black bean soup mixed with some refried beans:

This is [...]

Top of the muffin to you!

One of the best Seinfeld episodes ever.  On right now.  Why are you still reading this?
Anyway, lots of snacks today.  I was hungry.
Pear this morning:

I am usually skeptical of Trader Joe’s pears, but these are actually good.
Grapes:

Not frozen.  Let me ask you a question – red or green?  Chris says red.  I think I prefer [...]

Life changing

The biggest thing EVER happened this weekend – and yes, I do mean EVER, caps and italics.
Trader Joe’s opened its new location in Brooklyn.  This means that I no longer have to lug five million bags home from Union Square after battling a hundred people for $1.69 peanut butter and waiting in the longest line [...]

A new bean burrito

I think I may have recreated my beloved Taco Bell bean burrito.  I used to eat those burritos all the time in high school.  And I do mean “burritos.”  As in plural.  Because I’d eat two.  With some chips and nacho cheese dip.  And a Choco-taco for dessert.
It was kind of awesome.  But, I can’t [...]

Here we go again

Sundays are so sad.  Particularly during football season.  Especially if you live with someone who owns no less than five terrible towels.
Anyway.  The eating.  I kicked off the weekend with this:

I am usually very good about reading labels, but perhaps I am slightly in denial about ice cream.  As I was cleaning out the rest [...]
