Pretending

August 30, 2010

Today I am pretending that I didn’t wake up with a very sore throat and feeling kinda nauseous. I am also pretending that chocolate makes everything better – although sometimes I do believe that is true. I made myself a Chocolate Soynut butter smoothie with 1 packet of Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast, 1 tablespoon soy [...]

Ode to a 2 Pound Eggplant

August 29, 2010

In the CSA this week, there was a 2 pound eggplant.  I don’t think I have ever seen an eggplant this big.  Matt was supposed to make eggplant parmigiana yesterday but ended up being caught at work.  Thinking back a few months, we made a recipe by Hungry Girl – Supremely Stuffed Pizza-fied Eggplant.  Very [...]

I woke up this morning completely ambivalent about breakfast -  I had no idea what I wanted.  Matt, interestingly, felt the same way.  I think we both realize that we have to work all weekend so any excitement about it being Friday was a fleeting thought. A “chocolate milkshake” lifted my spirits – in the [...]

Personal Pita Pizza

August 26, 2010

Matt had to stay at work late to get some things done so instead of making our planned dinner, I realized I was a party of 1 tonight.  I scoured the fridge for something to make – debated mac and cheese, tuna sandwich, grilled cheese.  Instead I found a whole wheat pita bread, some pizza [...]
