This morning, a co-worker of mine was surprised to see me using the no-water hand sanitizer pump newly set up next to our elevators. Although H1N1 panic may be subsiding, I’d still rather not carry whatever germs I picked up on the train with me to my desk. But with this new morning routine comes […]
Like many other families, mine had a huge backyard BBQ to welcome the Unofficial Start of Summer. My contributions? Tofu Dogs and Watermelon Salad. I became a vegetarian my junior year of high school, after my prom date took me to a fast food restaurant and ate 6 cheeseburgers before the dance. I was so […]
Tonight I’m heading to St. Louis and starting off a road trip! As a bit of a Type-A, I’ve made a spreadsheet of the places I want to see, and squished them in to fit the 6 days we have on the road. I’ll post it below. Listening to some Simon and Garfunkel to start […]
It was so great to get to DC and see the cherry blossoms in all their glory. Although, the mall and surrounding areas were incredibly crowded – sometimes uncomfortably so. I took some great snapshots I’ll post below.
Today was my 24th birthday and I celebrated by going to see Sunshine Cleaning with my roommate and gorging on popcorn. Did you know movie popcorn is actually vegan? Guess no one wants to refrigerate the buttor-flavor topping! The movie was great – I highly recommend it to people who liked Juno and/or Little Miss […]
Tonight, a few friends and I went out to Cavatappo, my favorite Italian restaurant in the city. Luckily, it happens to be 2 blocks away from my apartment and very cheap — we’re talking $8.50 for a plate of homemade pasta. Had a very tasty shrimp risotto (a daily special). I’m sure I’ll be back […]
Went out to see the movie Tokyo! at CC Cinemas near Bloomingdales. It was a lot of fun! Very reminiscent of Paris Je T’aime. A few short “love stories” between the main characters and the city. Also, made me want to visit Japan, though I think I’d prefer Kyoto over Tokyo. Speaking of all things […]
OK. So I am coping with this no eggs/no dairy/no fun diet. This weekend I cooked rice for the first time (yes, it was Uncle Ben’s boil-in-bag, but it counts!) and have been eating a lot more guacamole and peanut butter. Yum! Here is a list of other things I want to check out that […]
Found out last night that I’m allergic to cow’s milk (not lactose, but the proteins in milk – whey/casein) as well as egg whites. Not good news for a lacto–ovo–pesca vegetarian! I had some blood tests taken after getting hives and feeling sick after eating seafood. Turns out scallops and tuna had nothing to do […]
March certainly made its entrance! In such terribly cold weather, there’s really nothing to do besides eat oatmeal and hang out indoors. Luckily, Jamba Juice is giving away $1 oatmeal with this coupon until the end of the month. Last night I had the blackberry/blueberry combo, and I’m wondering if I should get banana tonight. […]
