So, I have a favor to ask. But like any good nego­tia­tor, I’ll anty up my goods first before ask­ing for reciprocation.

If you’re like me, you love some apri­cots. For realz, they are tart and fra­grant and inher­ently sexy. I don’t know what is about them, but they are just plain […]

a visit to my library

I have a lot of cook­books. A LOT. I have man­aged to purge some over the past year, but I still own far more than I ever use. And hon­estly, I don’t usu­ally use cook­books very often. I love to read them, page through them, and fan­ta­size over them, but I am too fickle to […]

I go through food phases. Don’t we all?

My main food phases all revolve around tofu. Ha! I bet you thought I’d say choco­late. Nope, good ol’ white and pasty tofu. I swear, I just can’t get enough.

Pri­mar­ily, I tend to fall in and out of love with tofu ricotta. Well, never completely […]

I don’t nor­mally talk much about my day job, but I was at a sem­i­nar this morn­ing that I thought was so well-timed and dove­tails so nicely with the blog and things we talk about here from time to time, I can’t resist.

I work in Human Resources (and I’m a newly minted PHR, as […]

On Sun­day I am tak­ing a huge pro­fes­sional cer­ti­fi­ca­tion exam for work that has pretty much been rul­ing my life for the past […]

Today I taught my first yoga class. It was simul­ta­ne­ously awe­some and terrifying.

We have a Well­ness Pro­gram at my work that, like many, was well inten­tioned but has had min­i­mal par­tic­i­pa­tion. I have been man­ag­ing some other parts of it that run rel­a­tively well, head the com­mit­tee and lead meet­ings, but […]

Okay, so I’m not going to get 800 words in tonight. After work I had my weekly study group with a friend and then I just ran through my sequences for my yoga class tomor­row night and I need to get a good night’s sleep before an early morn­ing meet­ing. Whew! The weeks just roll […]

off the beaten path

So, 95% of this blog nor­mally revolves around food.

Okay, 80% food. 15% cats. 5% mis­cel­lany. That 5% is going to expand a bit.

I am par­tic­i­pat­ing in 21.5.800, which is 21 days dur­ing which folks all over the inter­net will be prac­tic­ing yoga 5 times a week and writ­ing 800 words per day. […]
