The question we are all secretly asking ourselves...

When I get bored at work, I peruse Craigslist. This is what I found today, under "fitness":

I have lost 20 lbs < convicted_of > 07/11 21:54:41

I am 24, female, 5'6" and I went from 157lbs to 137lbs... I did it very slowly, and i've completely changed my life style. I feel pretty OK about my body now, but I need to get rid of the exxcess flab that still remains- although it's not much.

IS IT BECAUSE I EAT CHEESE?

This was last night's dinner:



If it looks unimpressive, that's because it is. But despite a distinct lack of fanciness, this is a delicious and really simple meal (providing you have a grill).

Tofu
Prepare firm tofu using your preferred method. For grilled tofu, which was what I made, just slice your tofu brick into long thick strips, brush with olive oil, and place on grill, turning them over when they start getting those nice black grill marks. Then, in a small bowl, cut a generous glob of tahini with lemon juice and minced garlic - stir until tahini becomes liquidy. Remove tofu from grill and top with your sauce.

Carrots
Roll peeled carrots in a mixture of salt, pepper, brown sugar, and cumin. Place directly on the grill, remove when you see grill marks.

Portobello Mushrooms
Brush mushrooms with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, grill until done.

Old update

Meant to post this a while ago, but uploading lots of pictures is kind of a bitch, you know?

Anyway. A few weekends ago I spent a lovely Saturday with friends in Litchfield County, CT. We stopped at a carnival and the best grocery store ever before our final destination of Lake Warmaug in Kent. We had a delicious picnic, consisting of raspberries, ginger peach soda, kombucha (new favorite thing), smoked mango salsa with flatbread crackers, and a very special watermelon. The next day, my family and I drove up to some crazy place in upstate New York to visit my brother at camp. The difference? On Sunday, I brought a camera.

Always. Bring. A camera.

This was where we stopped for lunch:

Final destination

WWII meets Lady GaGa

I don't know who did this, but I need it to be made into a poster so I can buy it and hang it in my dorm/in my cubicle/everywhere.



Speaking of things that are completely irreverent, I had an idea for a movie. It is going to be called "3D Vampires in a Recession." I don't know what it will be about, but it will make a shit ton of money.
