Hey guys. I had to do a photo shoot today. I can't tell you why yet, but I promise - it's quite cool. We ended up with over 600 pics, so this is just a sampling. I think these were my favorites. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 No, I promise I don't just like to look at myself. There's a good reason, I swear.

Hey all! I'm alive, I promise. Have you missed me? I know I haven't been around, but I'm working on transferring this entire blog over to wordpress with alot of changes along the way. That, of course is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm also working on finishing the fourth chapter in my book. The first four will be going to my agent soon, so I'm overwhelmed.

Good morning all! How was your weekend? Mine was good/busy/work-filled. BUT, yesterday, I went to the Wild Animal Park. The Wild Animal Park is a sister park to the San Diego Zoo, except it's the prettier, more accomplished sister in my opinion. Love that place. I went with Christina and JGago, and since I'd been there before, I immediately dragged them on the Journey to Africa safari tram ride

That's right boys and girls... Today, I did something monumental. I bought my first bikini at the age of 28. I look alot more confidant than I actually feel, but do you know what I realized recently? There might not be a tomorrow. Now, before you think I'm being morbid, let me explain. Seriously, there might not be. My friend's recent death has reminded me that I live as if there are endless

You all know how often I tell you that life is beautiful. Well... the truth is there is a flip side to every thing. Life is beautiful, yes, but it is also terribly, terrible tragic sometimes. This is a picture of my high school friend, Nathan, and his five-year-old daughter. He died yesterday morning in his sleep. I don't know why, and it doesn't make sense. When I found out yesterday, I

You might think this blog will be me telling you ways to deal with stress when in fact you are completely wrong. I'm hoping you can tell me, because I'm going insane. Let me tell you why. My mom is coming next week. Dad's not coming. And, I'm working like CRAZY to get all my work done before she gets here. Which means basically double-time. Additionally, Ryan and I have added P90X to our life

Happy Monday all! How was your weekend? Mine was great/busy. Friday night, I had the honor of attending the San Diego Wine, Cheese, & Chocolate Festival. My friend JGago helped plan the event on behalf of Wine Smarties, a local wine education company that she interns with. Ryan and I went as (blog) press. It was a beautiful (!!!) eve in San Diego, the perfect weather for a festival.

It's partly my $%#$$@^ horrible carpal tunnel, which is now in BOTH wrists, and partly ... well ... other stuff. Namely, I've gained weight and it bums me out alot.

Sea Salt on salad is pretty much the best combo EVER! Did you know? I didn't know... I feel like I've been deprived all my life. Our lunch-y food stores are pretty depleted right now. Being the not-starving, but still pretty poor writer that I am, I tend to buy only what the hubby takes for his lunches and nothing for me, so I just "scrounge" for lunch. Today, I made a salad and used some plain

Hey all! Yesterday, I had to go up to LA to meet my agent. Afterwards, JGago (who drove me up there) and I went to Santa Monica's 3rd and Promenade to have lunch and walk around. We ate at Le Pain Quotidien (The Daily Bread). It was diviiiiine. Very authentic French country. I ordered a tartine with ricotta, figs, and agave nectar. To die for. My phone pictures don't do it justice.

Sorry I disappeared again! Weekend life is just way too exciting. :p Over the weekend we celebrated our friend Christina's birthday with a wonderful sushi dinner at Harney's in Old Town. I absolutely love sushi, but the husband can pass on it, so it was the perfect time to have a girls night. Here's all of us at Harney's. While we waited on the rolls to arrive, Christina opened her

Today, at EMW, we're having a two for one special! Two "recipes" in one blog. Gawd, you people are so lucky, I can hardly stand it! The unfortunate part of the is all the food came from a box or a can. Sigh... It's like when I got married the first time...

For lunch today, I made my very favorite kind of egg white omelet: Parmesan Broccoli and Corn. This combination of flavors is divine!!! Trust me. I wanted to give you some tips on how to make a great omelet. First, I highly recommend using liquid egg whites. So much simpler. These cost about $3.75. Significantly more than a dozen eggs, but they save so much time. Worth it. I use frozen

Hey guys... How was your Monday? Mine was actually pretty good, considering I didn't sleep much last night. My accupuncturist (who I see every Monday morning) adjusted my treatment to address this recurring insomnia, so hopefully it'll be a thing of the past soon enough. Cross your fingers and toes for me! Last night, Ryan fired up the grill again. He threw down, per usual. Have I

I have only dated/married nice, sweet, caring men. I'm almost sad that I can't join this boy-haters club. I've just been lucky, I guess. What about you? Anywho...

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! I work for myself, yet I still love Friday. It's ingrained. Tonight, we had JGago and her roommate Nate over for dinner. Nate is an avid reader of EMW, which is incredibly cool to me, so "Hi Nate! You're famous." Nate is the one that isn't Ryan. :p Hubby fired up his new grill. And, let me tell you, this is not just any grill. This is THE grill. If Tim Allen was here, he

Tempeh... I first enjoyed tempeh at Stone Brewery, where I had the most amazing tempeh shepherd's pie. Since that time, I've been dying to make it myself. I had to write an article (the article is here) about vegetarian swedish meatballs, so I thought I'd whip up some tempeh swedish meatballs. Tempeh, if you don't know, is made using grains, like rice and millet, so it has a density that even

So, it's already 8 o'clock on a Friday night. Where does the day go?!? I may Chop Suey, except I used sausage instead of ground turkey. Honestly, I have no idea why I call this Chop Suey. I've had multiple people look at me and say, "Chop Suey?... But, I thought Chop Suey was..." and then they trail off because nobody seems to know what Chop Suey really is. So, in that case, this is it. Go

Sorry for my complete absence yesterday. I am sometimes struck by bouts of insomnia. Wednesday night was one of those nights, which meant I was completely a zombie yesterday. I spent 100% of the day here: Unfortunately, the insomnia continued until I finally broke down and took a Nyquil at 10pm last night. I then fell into a coma-type state until 7 am when Ryan had to wake me up. I'm still

Today was a day of failure and victory. I will start with the failure. Well, actually, I will start with breakfast. Remember that Quaker pancake mix I picked up the other day? I broke it out today. I hate syrup, so it's basically butter and peanut butter for me. Yes, that's a 50% off sticker on there. You guys know I love a bargain. I realized after I snapped that first pic that my eyes

So, I woke up to this on Facebook: The Facebook thing says, "Free Breakfast for SoCal residents." I'm in San Diego = SWEET! I text JGago about it, and she's like, "obviously." So, we head out in search of a Subway. We get there, and they're like, "Yeah... That's for LA only." FAIL LA Only? Um. WE are SoCal. If you get any southern than San Diego, you're in Mexico. Boo. Boo. Boo. Since we were

It's Monday! One of the really great things about working for myself is that I don't dread Mondays. I don't exactly love them, because it means hubby goes back to work, but I don't hate them. It's a beautiful thing. Really. So, here are some more pictures from our little trip to Syrah this weekend. I'm.So.Short. I really need to wear high heels all the time just to look like I'm half-way

Hey all! How was your weekend? Mine was good. I am still waiting on my friend to send me pics from an event we went to on Friday. Here's a sneak peek. More to come! This place was outrageously cool. I don't drink, so I'm always the one standing without a wine glass. It's very weird for me to see these pics, because I can see every ounce of my "marital bliss" weight gain. I suppose I will call

Good Mooooooooooooooorning World! Have you noticed how awesome the morning starts when you begin with a bowl of oats?!? Holy effingham, it's amazing. It also helped alot that the first email I read on my blackberry was my editor for my newest (and awesomest) writing gig telling me how fantastic my first article was. Yay! Then, my husband went on and on this morning about what a "cute little

Meet Braedan Carpenter Flagg, born at 2:43am (EST). He was 6lbs, 12oz, and 20.5 inches long. My little brother is a father. It's crazy to me!!! This is my first time being an aunt, and it's surreal. I never expected that my little brother (almost 7 years younger) would have babies before me. Life is wacky! Today has been insanely busy. I hope life is great for you. What was it like for you to

So, I recently took on a new writing job that requires me to have a yahoo messenger account. I had to create an avatar. Okay, I technically, didn't have to, but I did. Because it was fun. So sue me. Here it is: Um. My avatar is cuter than me. :( Can someone explain why there's no way to make my avatar a little less... skinny? Because that so does not look like me, even if she does have blue

So yesterday was my first day of the 12 Commandments idea. If I had to give myself a grade, it would be a C. Nagging is in my blood. My mother and grandmother before me pretty much mastered the characteristic to an art, so I'm having to go against both habit and blood (if such things can be attributed to heredity, which I think they can). Last night, the moment Ryan walked in the door, I went

In the spirit of self-improvement, which admittedly is a luxury of our American world, an idea has sparked in my wild mind. Lest it naggle and flit around like an irritating fruit fly, I have to see it through. For some time I've been wanting to devise a way for me to be a better wife, friend, and all-alround awesome person. I've changed alot since I first lost that 200 pounds and not all of that

Check this out! This is a postcard from my favorite author Natalie Goldberg. She mostly writes about writing. Her most famous book, Writing Down the Bones, is kind of considered a writing "Bible." I decided to send her a note to thank her for her work and to let her know that I've read all her books and enjoy them immensely. She wrote me back!!! How freaking cool is that?!? It's insane to me

Hi guys! I know, I know. Two posts in like two hours?!? How obnoxious! How do you stand me? :p I went around and took some updated pics of our new place. My new office. I'm thinking about putting up my shelves on the wall to the left of the window. I want a de-cluttered office, so I'm keeping my office supplies in the hall closet, which is huge! There's even more storage up top. Oh

I've been having back pain. Yes, on top of carpal tunnel, here I am complaining about my back. Ridiculous, right? Gr. Well, last night it was pretty excrutiating, so I was laid up on the couch with a heating pad. I took a muscle spasm pill and it absolutely knocked me out. I'm still like a zombie today. Now, I remember why I hate taking meds. Blah. Even in my pain, I managed to throw together

I bought some more persian cucumbers from Vine Ripe. Have I mentioned how awesome these things are? I really don't like "normal cucumbers," but these little babies are to die for. The best way to eat them is to cut them length wise twice, and then slice them down the middle. Like so: Then, place them flesh side up in a bowl or on a plate and squeeze half a lemon over them and sprinkle with

We're moved! It was absolutely an insane weekend, but we're all moved in. Everything started Friday with a major push to get all the stuff packed. I was sad to pack up my office. It just looked so empty. But, I was thrilled to finally get over here and start UNpacking. Unfortunately, the movers were not so eager. They were supposed to come at 2pm on Saturday. Around 6:30, they rolled in,

My day is going full steam ahead. Here's a couple pics of our new place the day we painted. A few quick tips we learned AFTER we painted: *Take the tape off WHILE its wet. Otherwise, it will be jagged (like ours). :(*When you put on the tape, go across it with a little paint to make a seal. Otherwise, it will be jagged (again, like ours).*You will need a brush. Rollers won't do everything.

As you all know, Ryan and I signed a lease on a great new place a month ago. On Saturday, it was officially ours, though we didn't move in yet. We painted two accent walls in the living room and have move a few things over there. The offical move happens this coming Saturday. In the interim, we've been trying to use up the pantry, so I haven't really been cooking. Most of it is stuff I wouldn't

Heya Blog World. It's FRIDAY! I just returned home from a glorious 1.5 hour walk around downtown La Mesa. What a beautiful (if chilly) California day. Anyway, I have a whole bunch of food stuffs to catch you up on! Yesterday Lunch. My favorite Green Giant side dish paired with some SERIOUSLY over-peppered tofu. Woopsie. (Spicy!!!)

As you know, JGago and I hiked Torrey Pines. We took mostly "artistic" pictures. I'm hoping to get some good images that I can blow up and put on the walls of my new place!!! (Don't do it!!!!!!!) Our car is wayyyyy down there. Yesterday, I made a box of Near East pasta. I added in cherry tomatoes and a chopped up hardboiled egg. After I made the pasta, I added in the tomatoes and crushed egg,

It tastes a whole lot better than it looks. So, I'm trying to clean out the majority of our food before we move. (We hate moving food.) We move April 10, which might seem like a long way off, but will be here before we know it. So, I threw together this meat and potatoes dish. Red potatoes in my crockpot. Pork Roast on Sale! 1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup! (No water - my crockpot creations are

I loved today. Ryan and I went to Casual Male XL to get him a couple much-needed shirts and a pair of shorts. He's very tall and muscular, so buying clothes, shoes, even basics like socks can be extremely challenging on good days, frustrating on bad ones. Shirts are always too tight on his biceps. Dress shirts are too tight on his neck, so on and so forth. It's also very very expensive. Try

Do you remember how I mentioned I've been having wrist/hand issues and had to buy a brace? Well, I went to the doctor today just to have it checked out, and I found out that I do have carpal tunnel syndrome. The doctor turned my hands over (palms up) and could tell right awa. He showed me how the nerves at the base of my right-hand thumb had collapsed. The fleshy part below my thumb on my right

Something like this: So, um... well... I've never actually made a whole chicken, but I tend to be pretty fearless about trying new cooking things, so I thought, what the hey? Can't be too hard.

This day is absolutely beautiful!!! I wish we had a balcony. I would take my work outside and enjoy the sunshine. I had an early lunch today. I was hungry around 11, which was a bit early for lunch, but too late really to eat a snack. I had a green giant packet and persian cucumber sticks with a bit of sea salt. I love the Green Giant Digestive Health side dish. It has two servings, but I

Admittedly, this all strokes my ego perhaps a little too much, but it also makes me realize that I should probably pay a wee bit more attention to the recipes I put on here. Here's why...

Guess who's back?!? Yes, tonight, Ryan resurrected Hubby in the Kitchen. He made his signature dish, Sausage & Pepper Supreme. You see, this is the dish he has made to impress most girls in his life. Unfortunately for him, I'm not most girls. When he said he was going to cook for me the first time way back when (this was February 2007), I thought it was soooooo sweet. Then, I spotted these

Sorry, I haven't been around lately. I've been super duper sick! This oatmeal and diet 7up was actually my lunch, not breakfast. Nothing tastes good. And, in fact, most things seems to taste REALLY bad, so I've been eating mostly bland or sweet things. Savory ends up tasting bitter or sour like it's spoiled.  I've spent the last three days parked here:   I haven't been sick like this since I

Last night, I made a really weird pasta dish. It started out pretty normal. I was using soy chorizo, whole wheat rotini, some orange sweet peppers, and a can of tomato-basil sauce. Ryan was really bummed I wasn't using meat. Normally, he's cool with it, but for some reason, he really wanted meat. So, instead, it became a breakfast sausage pasta dish.

Wait! That's not purpose and meaning! Those are blueberries!!!! Good morning, bloggy friends! I started off this morning with (a bowl of oatmeal and...) a text from an upset friend and opened my email to find a message from another friend whose searching for purpose and meaning. I thought this would be a good topic for a blog. So, let me get right to the meat of the matter. I do not believe

March 7, 2009 Today, Ryan and I celebrate one year of marriage. It's been truly beautiful. He has taught me so many things about life. He met me at a time in my life when I felt truly broken. I was divorced and terribly young. I'd recently lost 200 pounds only to realize that being slim wouldn't solve all my problems. He helped me realize that loving myself meant taking care of me in EVERY way.

My first trip to Whole Foods... Ok, so while I've lived in this beautiful city for three years, I've never ventured to Whole Foods. I've always wanted to go, but I don't live near one. Today, I had a meeting in Hillcrest. When I got out, it was 11:30, and I was starved. I thought, OMG! I'll head over to whole foods and get a salad like all the bloggies do... I also wanted to buy some stir-fry

I was so productive today, hubby crowned me Dynamo of the Day!... Us married folk have to find some way to make our lives interesting, right?... hehe... So, as I said, today was productive. It went something like this... Take hubby to work... race home to write articles (that were due yesterday woops)... go to a meeting with an author, whose book i'm copyediting... race home to finish articles

It's our anniversary week! March 7 is our 1 Year Anniversary! It was a foodie weekend, but busy. How are you my friends?! I'm sorry I'm just now catching you up. Saturday, we hit the gym bright and early. We spent the rest of the day dedicated to our exciting new home - our apartment!!! EEE!!! Before that, though, we had a yummy chicken burger lunch. I had mine with baked sweet potato fries.

Mishmash of thoughts and food... It's Friday! Amazing how fast the days go. I feel like the week just started and here we are at the end of it again. Today, I have alot of article writing to do. I'm at my "office," aka Starbucks. When we move, I won't be able to come to this Starbucks as much, mainly because I won't be within walking distance of it. I'll miss it. I'm very productive here.

Like Father like Daughter... (My dad is a retired teacher.) So, today, I had a speaking engagement at a local high school. However, it was more like "teaching" because I did the same presentation in all five of the Health teacher's classes. My presentation was called Obesity: Culture or Disease? We started out the class by calculating BMI. I taught them how to do the calculations and then I

 Good morning World!!!   I had overnight oats this morning. I put them in the fridge in tuperware the night before with some milk. Then, when I get up (thus, the bed head), I zap them in the microwave. It's way too cold in the mornings for cold oatmeal. And... voila! Served with a bit of Hubby's pecan cereal and PB. On the agenda today is some serious catching up. I have some writing due, and

Sunday is my favorite day of the week... I really enjoy how laid back Sundays feel. For some reason, Saturday always feel a bit stressful to me. It's like I feel like I HAVE to get out and do something. Sundays, the pressure is off, and I can just enjoy myself. Love it! I had a late lunch today, from one of my favorites: Chipotle! Oh! I also picked up the book club book from the library. It's

It's Saturday again! My favorite. I had a writers workshop today, so I'm just getting around to blogging. Last night, we had dinner with Ryan's friend, Kelcey. I made Peanut Chicken and Tofu again. Recipe here. This morning, I had an egg and cheese breakfast sammy. Then, I ran off to my workshop. Always fun. We did some fun prompts. One of them was a poetry prompt. I wrote my first

TGIF!!! Good morning friends! I'm sitting at my favorite Starbucks at my favorite table that has an unadulterated view of my favorite mountain, Cowles Mountain, the highest peak in San Diego. There's a gloom hanging over the day, which I actually enjoy, for the change. I'm working on my book (big surprise), and I'm on a passage about the different types of "therapy" in which we exist. I

Organic Black Bean and Tofu Enchiladas at that!!! Tonight, we did our own thing for dinner. It's rare when that happens, but tonight was one of those nights. I had Black Bean and Tofu Enchiladas. Spicy, but good. I am really tired today. I've been working alot. In fact, I should technically be working right now. Does blogging count as work? I'm not sure. lol. It's hard to try to do it all.

A writer needs a place to write... Today was a very productive day, despite the fact that my house was rather chaotic. With President’s Day, both of my roommate’s kids were out of school. My little dining room is not exactly the most private space to attempt to keep an office space. It’s frustrating to say the least. No problem, though! We move in April and I’ll have a whole room all to

My facebook status is currently Jasmine Myers loves love! And I do! But... I love it everyday, not just on a Hallmark holiday. This is going to be a quick post, as I want to spend this evening cuddling up to hubby and reading my book, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I just finished Lost in the Forest by Sue Miller. I'll review the book at the end of this post. We did our taxes this

Happy Valentine's Day!!!! Here's a quick (very quick) recap of our evening. Yes, we celebrated Vday a day early! We don't go all out. It's just another day really. We love each other every day. Why complicate it and spend money you don't have?... Love is all you need... Chili's  --  Wolfman  --  Peanut MMs I was overdressed for dinner and a movie... Adorable, as always.

Just because it's made by Quaker does NOT make it a breakfast food... Good morning!!! Sorry I didn't blog last night. It was busy. My friend, Heather, was here until after 9 and then I had to do some editing with my hubby. I'll jump all the way back to lunch, when I had leftovers of the Most Amazing Peanut Chicken ever. I wrapped it up in a whole wheat tortilla. Hubby and I were supposed

You know you've made a good meal when someone says they could eat it every day for every meal... Last night was busy! We babysat our friend's baby. Meet Chase We love him. He has tons of personality, always smiling and laughing. He's one of the best babies you'll ever meet. However, this particular night, he was a tad on the sick side and missed his mommy.

What to do when you are unexpectedly cuter than you intended to be... he he... So, this morning started out pretty normal. I woke and had breakfast... Egg McMuffin and Pomegranate Tea And, then I proceeded to get dressed and ready for my day. Somehow, I accidentally got really cute. Instantly, I realized, "I'm way too cute to sit alone in my house all day with no one seeing this great outfit!!

This dish is an ode to my Moma... Growing up, my mom made this AMAZING dish I called Celery Chicken. She doesn't really "name" things or use recipes. I guess that's where I get my "throw a bunch of stuff in a pot" mentality towards cooking. :) Yes, you've seen this picture a million times, but I don't see her very often, so you take what you can get. :) I'm going to include her recipe for

If humans were meant to swim, we would have fins... :-) (Good news at the bottom.) Today, I had the insane idea to go swimming. I rarely go swimming, mostly because I'm terrible at it. But, I wanted a different workout, and the idea of a heated pool sounded lovely on this cold morning. I pre-fueld with a bowl of warm choco-pb oatmeal. This was about 2 hours before I left home.

I love easy suppers... Today, I did a very hard uphill 45 on the upright bike at the gym. Ryan ran on a treadmill behind me. It was the kind of workout that left me sore. My back, my thighs. I love it. Nothing is better, after a tough workout, than coming home to an easy supper. Thanks to my lunch-time handiwork, all I needed to do was chop up some romaine for salads and reheat the pasta.

Lunch is the new dinner... Happy Monday blogworld! This morning, I started off with the usual... I seem to prefer savory eats in the morning to sweet lately. I wake up and the last thing in the world I want is something ooey and gooey. I'm sure that will change, though. My sammy took me straight through to lunch. I went through all my cabinets and the fridge and nothing lunch-ish looked good

I'm glad it was the Saints... I guess... We just watched the Colts lose the Superbowl. It sucked... Today was a weird food day. I was on the run alot, but I did remember to snap a couple pics of the Superbowl food. Nothing healthy was had really, although I did pre-game with some raw broccoli and hummus. That way I couldn't fit too much "naughty food" in my stomach. I had one chicken wing

I think we found our first apartment that we'll live in ALL BY OURSELVES!!! Hey guys!!! I hope you've had an awesome Saturday. Today was both productive and fun! Ryan and I hopped out of bed this morning and hit the gym. Afterwards, I made a fantastic breakfast sammy. After breakfast, we lazed around. I ate lunch, but it was nothing special. I ate the leftover green beans from last night

America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation... I have a particular aversion to numbers. Unless those numbers relate to food. If I'm doing an equation that involves calories, pounds, etc etc, I'm fine, but when it comes to my money, it stress me OUT. [Pulls hair out in anxiety.] I started off the day well. I had a whole wheat english muffin with 1/2 PB and raisins and 1/2

Can you believe it's almost Friday?... Where did the week go?!? It seems like days just rush by anymore. The older you get, the more you have to do, and the more you have to do, the faster life goes. It seems like I'm getting to a point in my life where I can truly appreciate the moments, not just the big picture. But, I feel like those moments are so fleeting. I'm married now (well, I've

Sometimes life requires improvisation... This morning, I decided to make a warm, cozy bowl of oats. I live "Inland" San Diego, in the mountains basically. On the other side of the moutains is a big desert. It's hot, very hot. That heat flows over the mountains and bakes my little town of La Mesa. This sometimes starts as early as April, and we don't have AC at our current apartment. Because of

I don't like Mexican food, but bring on the Tex-Mex... When I first moved to San Diego, I worked for a Mexican-owned company. A few of us were standing in the kitchen one day talking about things we like to cook (Yes, I really always talk about food.). One of the ladies said that she makes predominantly traditional Mexican fare. I, in all my Mid-Western stupidity eagerness, say, "Some of the

Don't forget! Breakfast is the most important delicious meal of the day... Yesterday, I picked up some non-Ezekiel english muffins (I needed a change) and a box of egg whites. I actually knew I'd be making this breakfast sandwich when I went to bed last night. When I woke up, my mouth was already watering for my eggwich. I used a bit of sea salt and pepper to season the egg whites. I fold

I have a love affair with leftovers if you haven't noticed... Today was an extremely productive day. I kicked it off with a typical PB&J Ezekiel. Yes, I had breakfast in bed again. I didn't really have much down time this weekend, so I spent the morning snuggled under the covers while I worked. Sometimes, that can be just as productive. I had a snack around 10:30. Pretzels, a cheesestick, and

Walnut Gorgonzola Saturday Night and Tempeh Shepherds Pie tonight... I seriously hope you guys like pictures... Well, it turned out to be a weekend of unbelievable food for this foodie. As you know, last night we dined at an incredible Italian eatery in South Park. Tonight, we met up with some friends at Stone Brewery in Escondido. When we pulled up, we were a little skeptical. It was out

All the ingredients for the perfect Saturday night... Hiya guys! Today was the last day of my work conference. It was a good one, a little more relaxed. I enjoyed it, but I'm glad it's over. I need time to chill at home before Monday begins. This afternoon, we're meeting some friends at Stone Brewery. I don't drink, so I'll probably be doing a "water tasting." Fine by me. I go for the company of

There's just nothing like a goey, runny egg yolk to get your morning off right... Okay, maybe it isn't the healthiest thing in the world. All things in moderation, my friends. Soooo.... As you know, I had a work conference this weekend. This means I didn't get a chance to take pictures of any food other than breakfast. I was in such a rush for my breakfast pictures that I'm afraid they're a

I didn't have a cocktail at the cocktail party, so I had double the carbs for dinner. It's Friday!!!! I work from home, and I have to "work" all weekend long, but I still love me some Friday. :) Today was a busy productive hectic day. Everyone had a project for JMyers Inc. today. I suppose that's my job, though. :) For lunch, I used the remainder of the tofu from the Five Alarm Curry and

No, I'm not pregnant... yet! Good morning!!! This will be a quick one. I started off the morning with a PB english muffin and a big mug of cocoa. I drink my cocoa with a bit of skim milk. Nice and creamy. Okay, you might have noticed the new button along the lefthand side of my blog. You can click the button on the left, or click here to read about my Five Commandments. I'm not
