In Our Defense…

A guy by the name of “Random” commented on our review of 3325 West’s “pizza” a few days ago.
I dont understand why you mention the carytown discount in this article. Has nothing to do with the pizza at all and it will do is confuse people that dont understand what it is.
Also, this is not [...]

I Walk to Talk

I know that not everybody likes to walk as much as I do. Hell, a neighbor told me the other day that she drives to Rite Aid and we live TWO blocks from the place. I’ll admit I like it for the exercise, but it’s mainly because you never know who you’ll …

How to Cook Quinoa

Ah, Quinoa, the wonder grain. How do I love thee. Wait a minute, lets rewind. Up until last week, I didn’t. I hadn’t learned how to cook quinoa in a way that got rid of the bitter taste.  But, I wanted to like it because I know it is a pretty amazing grain. The worlds oldest, [...]

Wine Drunk by 9:00

I met a good friend at Ipanema to catch up after several months of not seeing each other, except the random run-in at a show. And don’t tell my mother, but I had blueberry pie a la mode for dinner instead of a proper meal (but it was damn fine blueberr…

Dinner for One and HIIT

For some odd reason I woke up this morning starving. I wanted to do yoga, but my stomach had other ideas so ended up having a banana oat bran muffin and a bowl of plain yogurt with berries and granola instead of downward doggin it.

I ate around 6:30AM, which meant that I was hungry for [...]
