Friends, can we just talk about how I’m “one class down, one to go” for my first grad school semester? That’s just a little exciting. So close to being done! Can we NOT talk about how those save-the-dates did NOT get mailed? I got into a fight with mail-merge and the mail-merge won. Now they [...]

Product Review: Francesco Rinaldi To Be Healthy Pasta Sauce
GIVEAWAY at the end of this post! Whoo hoo. Have I talked about Mitch’s homemade pasta sauce? Probably. I renamed it “Italian chili” because we never eat pasta around these parts (which is not my preference but his, FYI) so calling it spaghetti sauce seemed just wrong. But anyway. It’s really good and packed with [...]
Product Review: TofuXPress
Happy July 1! I know I’m getting older because I’ve turned into one of those people who keep saying things like, “HOW is it July already?” I don’t even have anything all that exciting going on right now, and time is flying by. Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? My agenda includes things like: running [...]
Getting my Zen on at Kripalu: Part 2
Missed Part 1 of my recap of my two-day stay at Kripalu Center? Forgot I even went there at all since it’s been forever? Grr…I’m not going to apologize for my sporadic blogging, since it’s my blog and I do what I want, but still. When they come up with that 30-hour day, I’ll be [...]
Getting my Zen on at Kripalu: Part 1
Post subtitle: vacation recap #1 Once again, if you’re new to these parts, last week I took a trip to Boston, starting with a two-day (1.5 days, really) stay at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, located in the Berkshires region of western Massachusetts. My (and Mitch’s) flight, transportation to and from the retreat, [...]
Tiquismiquis Trail Mix
Hi! Didja miss me? (The answer to that question is YES). I know I’m been slacking on the blog lately, but honestly, I don’t feel too guilty about it. I feel like I don’t have that much to talk about for the time being, so I’m….not. I still want to check in every once in [...]
Windfall
My mom called me awhile ago and told me she has some random food items that she thought I might like (her fiancé ordered a bunch of food online and I guess this came with it). Not going to lie, when she said “organic raw pecan butter” I got really excited, because hello, that stuff [...]
January Date Night at Zocalo Grill
I wanted to try one new restaurant a month, and after trying twice, we finally got out last Friday night and visited Zocalo Grill, which is in Old Town San Diego. Now, Old Town is pretty touristy and the Mexican food is pretty sub-par at most places in the area, but I’d heard really good [...]
Representing San Diego Left and Right
I freely admit that I am a lucky duck to live in San Diego. It’s no fault of my own really; my parents decided that San Diego was just nicer than Brooklyn so they moved here before I was born (not that I’d be upset to live in NYC, because I have a ridiculous obsession [...]
Not the New Rules of Blondie Baking
As I mentioned, I made blondies for the terribly sad and depressing and I don’t want to talk about it football game on Sunday. And as anything with a stick of butter and a cup of brown sugar would be, they were really, really good. They have the texture of a brownie with the taste [...]
