Date night has been awesome so far. Started with drinks thanks to Groupon. I bought a Groupon for a local restaurant/bar called Pietown in Isaac’s neighborhood and since it expires in a few days, tonight was the night to use it up! Isaac was grumpy at the start of the evening, but I warmed him […]

I Like What I Like

I hate to admit it, but I am quite the skeptic. I grew up with a father who never took anything at face value, so at least I got it honestly. The downside of skepticism is the time and energy that goes into making every decision—a little impulsivity every now and then would be nice. […]

Some things are better with age. Like weekend posts. Need to catch up? Chickpeas galore! Wine with friends. I much prefer grapes with some age. New relationships are exciting, but nothing compares to the love, respect, and adoration that only time can actualize. On Sunday evening, I decided to forgo yoga and played soccer mom […]

Saturday was a fun and chickpea-filled day! Breaking from tradition, Isaac and I decided to do a hummus experiment. Trader Joe’s sells a horseradish hummus that we love, but it only comes in small containers and isn’t made with the organic ingredients we prefer. Ever seen horseradish root? This is my first experience working with […]

September 18, 2010

Home Study

September 17, 2010

My chickpea lunch concoction filled me up without inducing a food coma or causing any digestive issues. I think I’ve found my new favorite lunch staple! After work I went to the YMCA for Body Pump lead by Jen (@ Peanut Butter Runner). After class I talked to Jen briefly because she has a hamstring […]

Workin’ Hard For The Money

September 15, 2010

Since putting this concoction together last night, I’ve been looking forward to lunch and it’s taken every ounce of my will power not to have lunch at 10am. This bowl of deliciousness includes: chickpeas, broccoli, canned tomatoes, and a pinch of kosher salt. Very simple, yet very tasty. To all of you in an office […]

Running Free

September 15, 2010

The second half of my workday flew by and I managed to be quite productive—love days like that. Even though I’ve been feeling low-energy this week, I was full of energy today and looking forward to running outside. I got all suited up and turned on my Garmin only to find that the battery was […]
