Guess who’s back? The e-vet called this morning around 8:30 to let us know Grady kept food down all night and we could take him home. He’s on strict bedrest for the next two weeks and has so many pills we actually made a Google document with a schedule, but at least he’s in our […]
Grady’s bizarre illness wasn’t the only thing that made last week rough. I was actually feeling a little under the weather myself on Monday. I made it to class, but couldn’t overcome a monster headache and nausea and ended up skipping a workout. It was an early night. I’ve actually had the headache the entire […]
So has everyone seen this movie The Ides of March? I loved it. It was stunning. It’s been a while since a film has captivated me the way this one has [lies, probably Godfather Part II, if that counts as “a while”]. It centers around a Democratic presidential primary in Ohio, which I promise you […]
While this isn’t my first smoothie recipe, it’s my most versatile. It is sweet enough for breakfast or a snack, but also perfect for an on-the-go lunch. It’s surprisingly hearty and quite filling [almost 20 grams of protein per serving], with a mix of fun flavors. Best through a straw! Kale Smoothie (Vegetarian) Prep Time: 5 […]
Monday at a coffee shop, I was approached by a friend: “What classes are you taking that you get to read fiction?” The beauty of 3L. Thanks to my light reading load, I was able to forego trademarks in favor of finishing the following: I’ll get to the schoolwork eventually, but I couldn’t put either of […]
There’s not much to report from Charlottesville, other than a few days of blah weather, tons of ice, prepping for classes, and a new recipe. Unless you’re Grady, then you‘re currently having the time of your life. Grady’s enjoying a new chew he got from Alison and Kyler for Christmas. Not only has he not […]
Back in Asheville, Shaun stopped at Bruisin’ Ales to pick up a few beers to “age.” After finishing his copy of Brewed Awakening, though, he discovered that some beers are best consumed immediately – namely, those with lots of hops. Thus, it became his mission to create a meal centered around Brooklyn Brewery‘s Sorachi Ace so he […]
In case you’re wondering: I’ve lived in eight different apartments from 2007 until today. In case you’re wondering why that’s important: I started my bar application yesterday. Not only do I need to list all eight of those apartments, I needed the exact day I moved in and moved out of each. In case you’re wondering […]
I’ve had a fascination with making home-made pasta for a long time; however, I lack any of the necessary tools to do so. So when, on a trip to Whole Foods, I saw these on sale: …I knew I had to pick them up and give them a try. Won ton wraps are a fun, […]
Recently, I linked to a story about Chick-fil-A’s trademark lawsuit against a Vermont man and his “Eat More Kale” t-shirts because of their fear of the shirts “diluting” the chain’s intellectual property. Ugh. Today, Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin took a stand for Robert Muller-Moore, stating that he’s on “Team Kale,” a group dedicated to providing […]
