I fell off the wagon. Just a little bit. Having been up very late on Monday night, I rolled out of bed on Tuesday and made myself an egg on toast. *sigh* Breakfast: A slice of buttered 7-grain toast topped with one sunny side up egg cooked in a pat of butter along with slices of vine ripen tomato. A mug of English breakfast tea . Lunch: A small Caesar salad with no croutons. Hey, I’m already off the wagon on the egg today, I might as well! A few spoonful of butternut squash bisque which was absolutely disgusting A...

I’m no literacy scholar. Nor am I someone who’d go through 100 books a year. So when I say I hate a book, you don’t have to agree with me. I don’t expect you to. I have a policy when it comes to reading a book. Once I start, I must finish even if I don’t enjoy it all that much. You know, the whole finish what you’ve started thing. There have been occasions, however, when I just couldn’t go through with it. Sometimes it was because it was boring. Sorry, Dickens. The Great Expectation will be read someday…as soon...

Holy CRAP! It’s all ready been a week?! My god. Am I a bad blogger! But I promise to have something much more entertaining than my weekly food journal in a day or two. For now, on to Meatless Tuesday. * Breakfast: Open faced “grilled cheese” sandwich: one slice of 7-grain bread, buttered, topped with slices of one whole vine-ripen tomato, sprinkled with Nature’s Seasons seasoning blend, and a few slices of snack-sized cheddar cheese, toasted in the toaster oven until the cheese is melted. A mug of full-leaf oolong tea. Mid-morning snack: 2 whole grain crackers (they’re like 2.5...

I’ve been pushing through work and juggling my social life through February. It seems I’m making new friends and reconnecting with old ones all the time. Weekends and evenings were no longer just the quiet moments but full of activities. There have also been changes at my work. We have created a new department which roped my marketing team of 2 in with 2 other departments to pursue new directions. The new Boss Man is first a friend. Much like my relationship with my boss Nhien, because we are friends first, communications are open in both directions. It makes for...

Breakfast Ritz crackers with cream cheese A mug of Ecchaenacea Defense tea with honey . Lunch A few bites of brown rice and garlic tofu with vegetables from Pick Up Stix before the fire alarm went off in the building. I came back and just ate the tofu about half an hour later. Mother fuckers on the 33rd floor really need to get fined for all their burnt popcorn, I swear to god. One of my home made dark chocolate covered–are you ready?–Not Quite Nigella’s recipe of salted maple honey bacon caramel. A failed experiment, the caramel did not set...
