There are several types of eggplant.  When we think about eggplant, we picture large pear-shaped purple veggies.  There are, however, several different varieties, and I do believe that the standard purple one that we find most ( Read more... )

-Spent a week doing my clinical refresher in the hospital, awesome.  Learned lots, saw lots of patients, got a feel for what 3rd year of med school will be like.  6:30AM-5:30PM, every day, with call days 6:30-9+PM with one day off a week.  Living as much as I can now because come July I will be too busy to do anything.

Life has been busy, I've been doing the usual with a bit more food and a bit less exercise than normal, and I'm noticing my weight has gone up maybe a pound or two.

Bought In Defense of Food and Omnivore's Dilemma in addition to a certain new VNV nation album.

Everything I've read so far is very true, and I'm so happy that for the most part I don't eat the "western" diet.

There is so much of the supermarket that I avoid... having Jeff here and buying him food is interesting because I get to see some parts of ( Read more... )
