This Easter weekend brought out friends old and new. Saturday I spent the morning with my hubby cruising down to San Pedro for a feast that is breakfast at Gaffey Street Diner. The rest of the day I spent baking, mostly. That night, the hubby set me loose to party with my Twitter crew. We threw an early birthday party for @always_blond at @fstop23’s place. The ever gracious host didn’t call off the party when he heard that his daughter-in-law had gone into labor earlier in the day. However, we had contingency plan as to where the key is and...

Guys, at this rate, going meatless is becoming a normal part of my routine. Very comfortable with it now. Then again, it’s easy to do when you have a restaurant downstairs selling awesome vegetarian/vegan sandwiches at lunch time. 🙂 Breakfast: The usual coffee treat from Starbucks Fage yogurt with peach puree. Yum!! . Lunch: Half of the French Onion Soup Melt sandwich from Mendocino Farms. Grilled onion on melty aged gruyere on pretzel roll. Organic tropical iced tea A nice dose of sunshine Afternoon snack: crackers and a big spoonful of whipped cream cheese. . Dinner: Trader Joe’s frozen entree...

Today, the Universe decided that it hates people in my life. 1. Brandon tore his calf muscle As he changed the oil on his car on Friday, Brandon discovered some coolant leakage. Upon further inspection by the auto shop, there are more than just that. We think the Anniversary accident knocked things loose. So, this morning, instead of waking up to drive me to my stop, the Mister decided to sleep in a little. I left my car 5 blocks down at my bus stop. As he was walking over to the car, Brandon stepped off the curb and, according...

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...

Well crap. I’ve been so busy that this blog is slowly becoming all about my Meatless Tuesday. Sorry guys! Just to catch you up, last Wednesday was our 8th wedding anniversary. On our way to our tradition dinner at Benihana through the infamous SoCal rainstorm, we were rear-ended. As we crested over the 405 close to Fairview exit, we got out of the carpool lane to get to the 73. Suddenly in front of us, a black sedan was sideway on the #1 lane. Its visibly damaged trunk was partly in the carpool lane and the hood in #2 lane. ...
