Tongue tied

Like many others, my job often involves speaking.  I have to call people, talk to them, ask them questions, pretend I know things, and generally act like a normal human being.  This is all well and good.  I know how to talk and what not.  The problem is leaving a voice mail.
I can’t do it.  [...]

A sticky situation

So for the past three or four days, this has been in our freezer:

It’s Chris’s shoe, gently resting on some frozen corn.  It is in there because he stepped in gum.  But not just any gum – the biggest piece of gum I’ve ever seen:

It looks like some kind of spearmint, but the size tells [...]

It was an emergency

I was forced to grab a handful of Sun Chips as soon as I walked in the door from work this afternoon:

The alternative was waiting ten minutes for my lunch to be ready, and I just couldn’t do it.  It was physically impossible, in fact.
And then for my real snack this afternoon, because Sun Chips [...]

I give you knowledge

I needed another snack before dinner (cookies = not filling) so I had a box of mini raisins with about a teaspoon or so of peanut butter:

Do you think they make little mini boxes of figs? Because that would be way cool. Except I figured out that the boxes aren’t really sealed up [...]

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 [...]

So. Many. Pictures.

I am completely exhausted from uploading these. I don’t even think I need to go to the gym tomorrow.
So I had a meeting with someone at two today and I needed to eat first, obviously, so I went to Whole Foods and got sushi and seaweed salad. Blackberry pictures, sorry, but here you [...]

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. [...]

Fearless

I ate the fake fat again for lunch today.

I’ll spare you the picture of the actual bacon this time, since so many of you were grossed out by it.  But I’ve gotta say, it’s really good.  I encourage you to try it.  Don’t be the kind of person who judges bacon by its cover.
And yes, [...]

Sketchy

I had a BLT for lunch made with Morningstar fake bacon and it CREEPED ME OUT.  Have you seen this stuff?

Do they have to make fake fat, too? Cause I could do without that.  And when you cook it, it gets all curled up and juicy like real bacon.  It’s really gross.  But my sandwich [...]

Fountain of youth

It’s official:  I pulled a muscle trying to chase down the bus this morning.  My butt is killing me.  My body must be too old to handle an impromptu sprint.
I certainly didn’t want to overexert myself, so I just made ravioli for dinner:

Threw on that basil for a little pizazz.
I just asked Chris how to [...]
