I’ve been a bit of a slacker for the past couple of days because work has been insanely busy and the last thing I’ve felt like doing when I get home each night is turning on the computer. I spend all day staring at one, so my eyes are totally burned out by the end [...]

Is it Friday yet?

Seriously. So, we’re on day 2 of eating on the South Beach plan and so far, so good! I’m following it mostly because I’ve had some crazy sugar cravings lately and have found myself eating things that don’t usually find themselves on my plate (or in my purse). Baked goods, particularly, haven’t been a part [...]
Almond Butter, Blendtec-style.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged almond butter, BlendTec on February 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
From the moment I opened my Blendtec on Christmas morning, I’ve planned to use it to make almond butter. Almond butter is one thing I absolutely refuse to buy on the Rock, because the huge jar of Maranatha that I can pick up in Canada for less than $10 costs over $30 here. Ridiculous. So, [...]

I’ve recently rediscovered the awesomeness of popcorn. When I was a kid, my family had an air-popper and we’d have popcorn as a treat with movies on family movie nights. However, the invention of microwave popcorn kind of stole the air-popper’s thunder, and the much-loved appliance was put to the back of the kitchen cupboard [...]
Book Review: The Elegance of the Hedgehog

I’m trying to read one book each week, in an effort to make my way through my Hoarders-style book collecting. I picked up The Elegance of the Hedgehog the last time I was in Canada and picked it up about 15 seconds after finishing The Shack, desperately needing to get that book out of my [...]
To market, to market…

Though I’m more inclined to buy a fat fig than a fat pig, I love me some farmer’s market! This week’s bounty: I’d say that it was a fairly successful market day. I picked up: kale boston lettuce a huge head of romaine an avocado a bag of spinach two bunches of green onions a [...]
Two years ago today…

My man put a beautiful ring on my finger on an amazing deserted beach in the middle of nowhere, Mexico. Happy engagement-aversary to us! And yes, that’s really us in the photo. The whole thing was so well planned that my Mom, who we were vacationing with, sat at the other end of the beach [...]
Yikes!

My internet service keeps cutting out because the Rock is currently being pummeled by hurricane-force winds, which are no friend to wireless service. This has been going on since yesterday evening and at one point last night, the rain against our bedroom window was so loud that we were both laying there at 4:30 a.m., wide [...]
Oatmeal, on the rocks.
Posted in Meals, tagged BlendTec, green smoothies, oats on February 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Back when I first started this blog, I was eating oatmeal every. single. morning. I love oatmeal. I’m an oat-a-holic. But then I brought home THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS GIFT OF ALL TIME and my poor little oats were left behind. Unloved. Unwanted. Overshadowed by kale. Well, I recently discovered a way to marry my love [...]
Introducing…George.

There are a lot of aspects of our life here on the Rock that I would say are fairly unconventional, but most of them come nowhere near as unconventional as our pet… Meet George. George is a 30 year-old tortoise who lives in our backyard. George is roughly the size of a large, oblong salad bowl, [...]
