Pumpkin Curry
You know me, you know I never cook! NEVER! That is, unless I really want to apologize impress. I meant IMPRESS! And this recipe is easy enough to accomplish with minimal skill and maximum recalcitrance. Uh, I meant PIZZAZZ! It’s a vegan adaptation of a soup I found through The Food Network. Thicker and more…

Things I Love Thursday: Coffee vs. Tea
With tomorrow being Valentime’s Day and all, today’s battle for beverage supremacy is near and dear to my heart. Coffee will always be my first love. When I wake up, my first act of consciousness is to start the percolation of a pot of coffee. That first warm, dark sip restores my humanity. Any reluctance…

It’s been a year of “Currently” posts! And what a year since I’ve started! Phew! FEELING: Dizzy and giddy and hopeful and delighted! Valentine’s Day is coming up and I don’t care what people say, I FUCKING LOVE VALENTINE’S DAY! For crying out loud, I have hearts and roses tattooed on me. I’m the biggest…

What’s Your Flavor?
Big big news in the food world. Oreo, milk’s favourite cookie, has launched two new flavors: cookie dough and marshmallow crispy. Viscerally upsetting to me, avoiding gluten as I am (aside from a slip-up that resulted in a MASSIVE rash last week, thanks for sharing). Both sound amazing but could I get something gluten-free? Uh,…

Love Is Like Bubble Gum
I. Love is Like Bubble Gum Love is like Bubble Gum. At first, it’s really hard. Then it’s SO SWEET. For like, a minute. And then it starts to break apart. But you keep chewing it because you don’t want to believe that it’s already over. And when you finally spit it out, you can…

Teething Again!
Remember about six months ago, when my wisdom tooth was acting up and I endured severe mouth pain so bad I hated to even talk? It’s back again. I’m teething in full force, and that’s my excuse for not being able to compose proper bloggage right now. I’ll be over here marathoning Being Human and…

FEELING: Really down. I just got dumped two days ago, and it hit me really hard. I don’t know if it’s the season, or if I’m really in a rut, but nothing about what I’m doing right now feels right. My job is getting on my nerves, I’m tired of working hard and spending all…

CRAVINGS
During last week’s bout of stomach flu, I completely lost my appetite. For everything. Can you blame me, though? Everything I ate just came right back up. Which hurts, actually, unless you eat very soft foods and liquids. I was really sick. How sick was I? Even the thought of drinking coffee turned my stomach. …

Almond Joy
So I’m on a total almond kick lately, apparently. Remember this trail mix? Well, I have to say, Salted Roasted Almonds from Trader Joe’s are THA BOMB. I can’t stop eating these suckers! They will be the death of me. Well, it would surprise nobody to learn that I’m not having a great time lately. …

I’m A Little Teapot, Apparently
I’ve sworn up and down that I’m a coffee person. Don’t worry! I still am! But I have a confession: I’ve been cheating on coffee…with tea. I know! I want to kick my own ass. Trust. But I’ve been trying different teas and not just because I’ve had the sniffles! Tea can be good! Sometimes! …

#fmsphotoaday prompt was “red.” Observe my red sicky face. FEELING: a little sour on Christmas, actually. My store has been playing Christmas music since before Thanksgiving,which I am not okay with. If I hear ANY version of “All I Want For Christmas is You,” I may be physically I’ll or commit some kind of violence.…

Assemble!!!
I know it’s very trendy these days to throw around the phrase “I don’t cook,” but trust me when I say, I don’t cook. Oh, I could tell you horror stories about past attempts at such domesticity. Over-sautéed vegetables that taste like mush. Under-grilled fish that may have resulted in food poisoning. Burning the…

Don’t Get Me Wrong
Don’t get me wrong: I still love New York. But sometimes, I get a little homesick for suburbia. In weird ways that you’d never imagine! For instance, I kind of miss being bored. Having nothing to do, doing things for the fun of it. Remember driving around town in search of things to do, combing…

Sweater Weather
Through Angie at Lariats and Lavender, I found this cool list of fall-themed questions originally posted by Savannah at M A I E D A E ! I know it’s been a while – I’ve been very busy out enjoying the new season! Like, for instance… 1. Favourite candle scent? For fall, it’s all about…

Oh man, November already? Seems like just yesterday I was trying to remember to write 2013, and now it’s almost over! October is my busiest month, and I know I haven’t spent as much time blogging because I have been either working or PTFO ASLEEP. I am resolved to post more, even if it’s not…

But here, I’ll try: Mellowcreme Pumpkins: Are the cutest and most perfect Halloween treat! Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks: Celebrating ten years of making New Yorkers absolutely bonkers. I posited the question…

Blogtember #16: Review — Living Single
All the Single Ladies, Put Your Hands Up.Let’s be honest. Having a relationship is great, but being single is tha bomb. Whether you’re a veteran at being unattached or freshly dumped, you have to agree that it’s somewhat of a relief to be footloose and fancy-free! I even made a little poem about it! S…

Feeling: Overwhelmed! A lot is happening – my computer died (technically, it was the charger, but the computer is still rendered useless), so I’m blogging exclusively from my iPhone until I can find a solution. My wisdom tooth is coming in, which is more painful than I can describe, and I’m glad I was a…
