Happy Thanksgiving! I’m waiting for my dad to pick me up so I thought I’d pop in here to wish you all a happy holiday…or a happy Thursday, as the case may be. My dad and I are going over to Mitch’s dad’s house for the big day, which will be fun because it’ll be [...]

I Don’t Look Bad as a Blond
Hola! I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts on my numbness issues that I mentioned in my last post. I did get the shoes from a running store, but I got the “newer” version of the shoes I got there last time, so maybe I should have spent more time looking at other options. [...]
Housewarning Apple Crisp
Happy Monday! Ok, I lie. Mondays suck. At least this one is over. The next 5 weeks are going to be crazy for me…I just need to make it through unscathed and I will be a happy camper. I had a few people ask me about the program I mentioned in my last post. If [...]
Foodies are Easy to Shop For
Happy Saturday! I decided to blog instead of doing the dishes. The downside to hosting your birthday party at home is that the next day, you’re left with the cleaning! Oh well, it was worth it. I wasn’t a very good photographer last night. I meant to snap a few shots of the spread before [...]
Termite Tenting: A Cautionary Tale
I’m BAAACK! Well, kinda. I haven’t been able to blog this week, partly because I haven’t been able to cook. Next week, I really hope to change that. I MISS cooking healthy meals with fresh ingredients! Our condo was tented for termites earlier this week, so we stayed with Mitch’s dad on Monday and Tuesday [...]
Perfect Chocolate Strawberries: A Guide
A few weeks ago, I made chocolate-covered strawberries for a Passover Seder. These strawberries are yummy, not too unhealthy (as desserts go), romantic, and not to mention, EASY. Whenever I’ve made these, people are really impressed, which is funny considering it’s two ingredients and about 15 minutes of little effort. But hey, I’ll take all [...]
Pasta Salad for the Potluck
My work is having a potluck lunch tomorrow to celebrate a few birthdays. And I almost wasn’t going to go, because I haven’t been feeling very happy about my food choices lately and I didn’t want to be tempted by the treats—and my coworkers can COOK, let me tell you. There’s usually the same fare [...]
Fish Tacos for Girls’ Night
Last night, two of my girlfriends came over for dinner. It’s been a long week and I needed some girl time to start out my weekend right! We took Nina on a nice long walk, and I made a Southern California staple: fish tacos. If you’ve never been to So Cal, the idea of a [...]
Sunday Fun-day
now I’m trying Windows Live Writer to blog, so hopefully that’ll help with some formatting issues. Thanks for letting me whine! We took Nina for a hike this morning. While we were out, we ran (literally) into a trail race heading up the same mountain we were hiking. Those people are hard-core! It motivated me [...]
