The Impossible May Have Happened

Sure, we’ve been quiet for a while – it happens. Sometimes, we’re busy doing nothing at all and are just lazy.

Other times, we might be revamping our entire relationship with food.

…Ok, that doesn’t happen that often, but this time (for me) – that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I grew up eating macaroni & cheese every night (straight . . . → Read More: The Impossible May Have Happened

Oh! Oh! Two in a row!

Not just two posts in a row, but two meals in a row that I didn’t completely mess up with 1/2 lbs. of melted cheese or something.

Lunch was almost an entire bag of orange chicken (so delicious – might be dinner), but instead was this:

JEALOUS? You should be, because this is the best salad ever.

Starting to “get” it?

Good afternoon from beautiful Queen Anne.

I’m housesitting for my sister, as well as taking care of her kitties. This is great for several reasons:

1. Remember how I’m homeless?
2. ANTM Marathon Wednesdays have gone uninterrupted.
3. I get to, you know, cook for myself which means I eat more than pre-packaged crap! Very exciting.

But there’s, like… no cheese…?

Did I mention that I’m sick? Because I am. And it’s making it really hard to know what my body wants. Between coughs and sneezes, I feel like I want to eat an entire cow, an entire bag of pasta, and three cans of soup. I’m trying to avoid dairy for mucous-related (entirely too pleasant, that . . . → Read More: But there’s, like… no cheese…?

Brain Functions & Break…fast?

So, over the last day, I’ve been trying to examine my relationship with food a little more closely. Namely:

When I eat
How I’m feeling when I get hungry
What I crave
What I actually end up eating

That was… revealing. Here are some [ridiculous] things I discovered:

I don’t believe that coffee and food should go together. Well, espresso and food . . . → Read More: Brain Functions & Break…fast?

20 oz. of Soy Mocha Does Not A Healthy Choice Make

I’m Lindsay.

This is basically me, if I had no skin, bones, or muscle mass:

Delicious mocha from Bird On A Wire Espresso

20 ounces of chocolate, soy milk, peppermint and three shots of espresso. Nice to meet you.

Here’s my issue: I’m so enamored with food that I find really extremely stupid and illogical ways to validate . . . → Read More: 20 oz. of Soy Mocha Does Not A Healthy Choice Make

Marinated Beet Salad

Ever since we stopped at Central Market in Shoreline, WA for a quick bite, we’ve been craving something beet-y. The salad we had was a sweet-but-bold mix of beets, herbs, and vinaigrette. We set out to duplicate it, many times over, and we think we did a pretty good job. . . . → Read More: Marinated Beet Salad

Drinking With TV: Glee #8

We’ve decided that formulaic television programming isn’t just for making fun of anymore – it’s an excuse to drink beer.

…When you make it into a drinking game, anyway.

Our first subject was the high-school-based comedy-romantic-drama-satire, Glee. Here’s . . . → Read More: Drinking With TV: Glee #8
