  • Pumpkin Curry

    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

    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…

    Currently…in February 2014

    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

    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!

    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…

    Currently…in January 2014

    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

    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

    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’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! …

    Currently… in December 2013

    #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!!!

    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…

    Chain Mail

    I love questionnaires! I found this one courtesy, once again, of Angie from Lariats and Lavender, which is a blog I’ve been a fan of for a long time!, who found it from Kyla at Kyla is Inspired, which is a blog I just discovered and is really lovely!!! 1.  Song you can’t get out…

  • Don’t Get Me Wrong

    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…

    Currently…in November 2013

    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…

  • PSL = Pumpkin Spice LIFE

    PSL = Pumpkin Spice LIFE

    Fall is my favourite season, and Pumpkin is the reason for the season.  I can’t stress enough how much I love pumpkin everything!  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…

    Currently…in September 2013

    New bang trim…what do we think??? Feeling:  EXCITED!  Fall is my favourite season!  I adore Halloween.  New York Comic Con is just around the corner.  And I count the days until my first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! Watching:  Classic Doctor Who.  I keep returning to it because it has such heart and so much…

    Currently…in August 2013

    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…
