Took the plunge

I’m sure you’ll be very happy to hear that I finally bought Chris a new camera.
Actually, let’s be honest.  I bought myself a new camera.  I just keep telling Chris it’s for him because I did, after all, break his.  Also, it makes me feel better about spending the money.  And you know, if he’s [...]

Musical afternoon

It’s warm outside, and I’ve got my apartment windows open. And let me tell you, the guy in the brownstone next door has been rocking out all day. He’s doing some kind of yard work, which is fitting because his garden is absolutely amazing, all landscaped with patio furniture, a fountain, and a [...]

Rest of the day

I got busy with work toward the end of the day, so I figured I’d just post this afternoon and tonight all at once…
For lunch I tried one of those roll-up wraps again.  I don’t get why they are better than round ones?  Can someone explain this to me?  Because I lost half of my [...]

Dinner + Breakfast

Just want to add last night and this morning quickly – it is so nice here that I have to get back outside immediately.  I think it’s going to be 73º!  I think I’m going to go meet a friend and do some shopping because I’m all about spending money that I do not have.
Last [...]

Not pie

I tried to whip up a little something special for a snack this afternoon but it didn’t turn out exactly as I’d hoped.  I was thinking that maybe, maybe, if I cut up an apple, stuck it in the  microwave with a little cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg and a sprinkling of oats it would taste [...]

The gouda is out to get me

I could not have screwed my dinner up more if I possibly tried. First, I was trying to make a quesadilla. So I grate some cheddar on a tortilla, throw a little gouda on there for kicks, sprinkle on some cumin, chili powder, etc. and toss it in a pan. Then I [...]

First casualty

Jack has officially eaten his first shoe. Fortunately for me, it belonged to Chris.
No, I do feel kind of bad, considering I’m technically supposed to be watching him. But I do have a job, despite what my neighbors might think. They totally think I’m like a housewife or something, by the way. [...]

A little kick

I added paprika to my smoothie today by mistake.  I thought it was cinnamon.  Because, you know, they look the same, except that paprika is red and cinnamon is brown.
Anyway, it tasted pretty good actually, so really I’m a genius.  This is how recipes are created, you know.

I also had some yogurt, figs and flax [...]

Desperate times…

I offered Chris the last Skinny Cow bar after dinner tonight because I ate the rest am selfless.  Then, I rummaged around in the back of the freezer, eyes closed, a prayer on my lips, and unearthed this:

Which I then ate.  I don’t even want to know what they put in these to make them [...]

Flax is your friend

I decided not to tempt fate by having three scary bacon sandwiches in a row, so I made a smoothie:

I love closing my eyes and pretending I’m having ice cream for lunch. Specifically, a Wendy’s frosty. I even eat it with a spoon, which I pretend is a French fry.
Also, I wanted to [...]
