eating, and eating, and eating

I haven’t taken a single picture since getting to San Diego on Friday.  Some things worth noting, however, include: 1. by Saturday morning all flights leaving Philadelphia were cancelled because 2. Philadelphia got 23 inches of snow, and 3. Saturday in SD was over 70 dgerees and sunny.  Awesome!
Anyways, no pictures, but I wanted to [...]

you know me, i’m your friend

[Twenty points for whoever can name the song that quote's in.  Don't know what the points are good for yet.  Maybe some cookies.]
Look, this is kind of hard for me, so I’m just gonna say it: I’m starting to think caffeine is really, really evil.
As some of you know, I stopped drinking coffee in August.  [...]

someday i’ll live in a cottage

First off, I finished 7 days of raw, and the last two days were awesome but I ran out of food and didn’t feel like spending another $50 on groceries.  But it was good!  I recommend that everyone gives it a try.  Since ending it I haven’t been eating great, but I have consciously been [...]

christmas time is here again

Raw day 5.
The presents I ordered via the interet have already started arriving– whoopee!  I got three separate packages today.  Now I get to wrap them and then twiddle my thumbs until next Saturday.  That is when I can drive to my hometown to distribute said presents to my family, since Phil and I are [...]

are you raw-er than me?

raw day 4.
The worst part about this diet is that because I have what I like to call “sensitive blood sugar”, I have been waking up shaky, weak, nauseous, and generally not wanting to start my day.  Then I drink some juice and life slowly starts to feel OK.
I think I’d have to say that [...]

i want pizza and beer

raw day #2
Today was a little rough, I must admit.  And by ‘a little’ I mean ‘really’.  But I’m going to keep on going, at least until all the food I bought runs out.  I went to BJ’s today and loaded up on fruit.  Yum!  If it doesn’t last the rest of the week then [...]

welcome to the neighborhood

Yesterday morning Phil found that one of our car windows had been tagged with a paint pen.  We’ve (he) already cleaned it off, but it’s still a bummer.  Then, while putting my bike outside when I got home from work today, I realized his bike was gone (i.e stolen).  Someone climbed over our six foot [...]

Cranberry Tahini Cookies

Blame the batteries.  They die and then never, ever recharge.  Everytime I make some interesting food and grab the camera, it won’t turn on!  But there were some freshly charged batteries today, at last, so I was able to get a picture of these delicious, fattening and very interesting cookies.
I’ve been reading Celine Steen’s blog, [...]

impromptu calzone

Jeez– I have been terrible at writing entries on here.  I’ve also been terrible at taking pictures of recent food concoctions.  And I’ve never been good at taking pictures of food in restaurants– I’m much too self-conscious– but this week I got to go to my favorite vegetarian (and mostly vegan) Chinese food restaurant in [...]

Pumpkin Loaf

I did something great!

I made this pumpkin loaf, and it was so good.  I usually substitute apple sauce for oil, but this time I just said screw it, and I used oil.  Who cares– for this one time?  It was delicious.
The original recipe was not vegan, and I changed enough about it so that I [...]
