Deep Thoughts
Waking up feeling refreshed I started the day by hitting the ground running – literally. I ran 2 miles on the running path by my house, and during my run I got to watch the Army do their thing. There’s a National Guard facility not too far from my house, so they must have been … Continue reading »

I had a lot of ‘new’ in my life today! My first new of the day – ordering a new dish at one of my favorite restaurants Pita Jungle. I present the Mediterranean Platter – so yum! Also, so big – I couldn’t finish all of the Tzatziki or Tabouleh and left some of the green beans behind … Continue reading »
Do Monday. Don’t Let Monday Do You.
The title of my post was borrowed from one of my Facebook friends who posted that in her status update this morning.

It all started at the Blue Moose, a bar in Scottsdale where we had to sign in and hear about some rules/regulations. At registration we also had to … Continue reading »
Cyclo Success
Last night Eric and I went to Cyclo, a Vietnamese restaurant in Chandler, AZ. We started off with the Spring Rolls, and I must say that they have the best peanut dipping sauce I’ve ever had. I kind of wanted to roll around in it. In the background is a salty plum soda – this … Continue reading »
Food Processing Fun
Good morning! Even though I’m a little late, here is my Thursday recap. For breakfast yesterday I had soup – fruit soup that is. I remember having a cold blueberry soup at my cousin’s wedding like 10 years ago – at that time, for my Midwestern meat and potatoes family, it was a pretty unusual choice … Continue reading »
