Start of the Semester

September 2, 2010

Yesterday was the first day of classes at the college I work for.  Although my day was full of meetings, at least I was not running around campus making sure events were going ok.  I had a fantastic dinner with some old coworkers of mine – it was great catching up with them.  I also [...]

I made another smoothie this morning because my throat hurts it is really hot outside… In the shower I dreamed up a breakfast frappuccino which is odd considering that I don’t really like coffee.  I saw something similar on Melissa’s blog a while ago and made my own version… First I ground up some oatmeal [...]

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 [...]
