I probably should have read this before I went to school...
I recently found a diary I used to keep when I was 15 (just some spiral-bound notebook I titled, "Memos, Typos, and Afterthoughts") and there was an entry I wrote after taking my first career aptitude test. Let's just say I wasn't happy ( Read more... ) -
proposal
On my 30th birthday I was sitting by the pool with my mother in Boca Raton. I was living in New Jersey at the time, but I had no desire to celebrate such a milestone alone in my crappy studio apartment. A few months earlier I went through a bad break-up with loser #4 (lesson learned: you don’t have to act on every single attraction you feel), and ( Read more... ) -
Success!
So I finally made a recipe that wasn't bland and didn't make my boyfriend physically sick (see "Frittata Fiasco 2009")! I got this recipe from www.eatwellguide.org

The place was full of Yippies (Yuppie + Hippie = Yippie) with their expensive tie-dye outfits and jogging strollers. Whenever I walk through ( Read more... ) -
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
I am finally reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver after many, many months of avoiding it. I had no idea what it was about, but refused to read it after a number of different women told me it would absolutely “change my life”. Whenever I hear that I automatically assume it’s something Oprah recommended and make a mental note to ( Read more... ) -
...as in "Puff the Magic"...
This entry has nothing to do with food, but it does deal with the lifestyle changes I would like to make. I want to be more present in everything I do, not just when I'm eating.
Last week we started making crafts for the Summer Reading Program. Now if I was a paste-eating 1st grader this would be my ultimate dream job. But I'm not. I'm a grown-up. ( Read more... )
