Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
Last night I had Fish Night with my Fishes. My 'fishes,' by the way, are my 'bi$%es,' aka girlfriends, but we call each other fishes. For one, it's PG-rated, and two, there's a story behind it (it's a little too long to describe here). What's great about night with the fishes (besides spending QT with … Continue reading My Fishes
HO-LEE SH%&. Nobody warned me of the insane side effects of cutting out meat and dairy from your diet. Last week I posted about my 85% whole plant-based diet. I was interested in trying it because I had seen a guy significantly lower his cholesterol in this documentary called Forks Over Knives. This week I … Continue reading WARNING: Side Effects May Include Increased Energy
Just the fact that I mention I have a 'diet' probably sounds ridiculous to most of you who know me in person. In fact, I went to the doc the other day and when they weighed me- somehow (with shoes on), I weighed four pounds less than my last visit. Which is kind of nuts, … Continue reading My So-Called Diet
Oh yes, fall has kicked off with the Autumnal Equinox on Sept 22. Fall means turning leaves, cooler nighttime air, sweaters, boots and brown leather (or faux leather). I'm not getting much of any of that here in SoCal, as we keep experiencing more 80-100 degree days (depending upon where you are). People are still … Continue reading Oppan Pumpkin Style
I woke up today CRAVING the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes from Coast at Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica, CA. I didn't have any ricotta or lemon... but I did have cottage cheese. So I made Cottage Cheese Pancakes instead. You have to work with what you've got! Here's the recipe for Cottage Cheese Pancakes from dramaticpancake.com. … Continue reading Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Have you seen that show on TLC? My Strange Addiction? Yeah, the one where a chick eats Comet, and another one eats couch cushions. My addiction isn't that strange... but what it is - is in fact, an addiction. I cannot get enough of it. No- it's not drugs, alcohol or chocolate. It's seaweed!! I … Continue reading My Strange Addiction
Yeah, not talking about Jessica Alba in the 2003 sleeper-hit "Honey". And not Honey Boo Boo from the TLC show. I was thinking about the sweet-sticky stuff today because I am convinced the last few days my head has been ravaged by allergies. Fall time had always meant allergy time for me- until I moved … Continue reading Hi Honey
One would think, as a highly discriminating foodie, grocery shopping would be among my weekly, if not daily, highlights. One would think. But alas, I am a lazy foodie. One of those snobbish persnickety critics who can easily dispense remarks, but yet is ironically unable to produce anything nearly as creative and flavorful as what … Continue reading Fear and Loathing in …. the Grocery Store
It's been a little while, hasn't it? Since I last posted a recipe... pervs! Sheesh. Ah, I know. My brain has been in deep thought mode as of late, and honestly, there hasn't been much time to cook! I did bust out the DSLR for one gorgeous in-season fruit (?) veg (?)recently ... the glorious … Continue reading Oh, Aubergine….
I think we all grew up thinking that Disney movie messages were just bull-shiz. Like, really, princesses? Like you have a clue about the real world? Oh yeah, little cricket, seriously? Wish upon a star... yeah right. Little did I realize just how jaded my little six-year-old heart had become. Mr. Disney and company spoke … Continue reading 10 Disney Song Truths
