Where I Wanna Be

My experiment into vegetarianism ended today when Danny and I made a trip to Flaming Amy’s for dinner.  I had a taco platter with fajita steak and it was pretty damn good.  I might could have stretched the experiment out another day, but, our dishwasher is currently in a state of disrepair (the guy came [...]

After taking inventory of my fridge this morning, I decided to extend my little experiment by a day.  I have a bunch of food leftover and figured I might as well use some of it while I am on a roll.
Breakfast was the usual oatmeal with almond butter (unphotographed).  For lunch I reheated my [...]

Gracie woke us up at promptly 7:30 AM this morning.  This is after she woke us up at 1:30 AM with a bit of an emergency that required me to take her outside immediately.  So, so glad that she knows to let us know when she needs to go outside – but, I was [...]

I am so impressed with food bloggers who consistently can write and photograph their meals day in and out.  Seriously, I do not think that I will ever have that kind of motivation.  I nearly talked myself into settling into the sofa without writing this – but, here I am.  Only one more day to [...]

If nothing else, this experiment has really made me think about what I am eating.  We have some stuff going on this evening – and, if I were not trying to eat vegetarian, I would totally just be like, “Hey, let’s just go grab something while we are out.”  But, since I am trying to [...]

I am not going to lie – I am starting to lose steam with this vegetarian thing.  I think it is mostly because I am SO tired (which, honestly, probably less to do with no meat and more to do with not sleeping super great/less caffeine).
I had my normal bowl of oatmeal for breakfast this [...]

Day 3 is in the books.  My breakfast consisted of the same thing that I have had for probably the past 2 months. 
My oatmeal with almond butter has more staying power than other stuff – so, I figure why change things up this week. 
Lunch was a repeat of Sunday’s dinner.  I finally polished [...]

I successfully completed day 2 of the experiment.  I unexpectedly got pulled out of the office for most of the morning and early afternoon, which meant that I had to get lunch out.  Not really a big deal, but, as it turns out, when you are trying to make a conscious effort to avoid meat, [...]

Over the past few months, I have been kicking around the idea of trying to go totally vegetarian for a week.  Honestly, I do not eat a ton of meat anyhow – and, I just really want to see if I was capable of going an entire week being totally vegetarian.  I chose this particular [...]

Danny went to work on a computer this morning (we’ve got to earn some extra cash when we can with all of these “new house” bills piling up) and I decided to finally get around to downloading some pictures from the memory card in my D300.
Exhibit A (one of the most awesome wedding gifts ever):
This [...]
