Ashes to ashes

Now, I am not Catholic, but I still like to participate in the Lent traditions.  Is that weird?  Prolly.  Anyway, I just like the thought of sacrificing an earthly possession I thought I couldn’t do without so that I can learn to lean on God.  It’s a lesson that I have to learn & re-learn.  …

Fat Tuesday!!!

Happy Mardi Gras!! I would normally be going out this evening with Chris for some fun, but instead I will be working…another night shift.  My rhythm is all thrown off- I am going on about 4 hours of sleep from today after last night’s shift.  Surprisingly, I’m holding up ok…we’ll see about 3 AM tonight! …

African Peanut Stew

This was my stew for lunch today and it is so good!!  It’s got tons of good veggies in it, but you’d never know it, since it’s pureed to high heaven (a good trick for children and husbands)!  Mine’s a bit on the spicy side, thanks to the peanut butter.  It’s from Peanut Butter & …

Raisin Bran Muffins

I love/hate Sundays.  I love them because they are the 2nd day off in a row & I can really relax on Sunday morning, but it’s also the day before I have to start another work week; it’s tainted.  I usually battle this by sleeping in, getting an afternoon nap, and making a fabulous Sunday …

Spanish Senorita

I’m on nights this week and next week, so my schedule is thrown off just a bit.  Hopefully I won’t have to miss too many days of blogging, but we’ll see, I guess. Tonight’s dinner was fabulous.  First of all, I bought some Spanish Tortas, which in and of themselves are a salty-sweet cracker-like revelation, …

Fro Yo

I love ice cream.  Like, really, really, love it.  It’s my Kryptonite/ Achilles’ Heel.  Therefore, it was really only a matter of time before I searched high and low for an ice cream that is SD acceptable, especially with all the balmy 34 degrees temps we’ve been having- it’s positively springy!!  So, I made the …

The Fountain of Youth

Who doesn’t want to look younger/live longer?  Sound like an infomercial?  It’s not- this is a great article:  Fountain of Youth: Exercise. Basically, exercising regularly is great not only for your heart and waistline (which are directly related, by the way), it also wards off gray hairs, loss of brain mass (and potentially dementia), and …

A New Month…finally!

Finally, it’s a new month, and I feel 100% better!  I’m on a different rotation now- I’m on internal medicine!  It’s much better, and even though I have to work every weekend this month, I don’t even mind so much- I’m just so glad to be on something different! We celebrated my birthday!  On Saturday, …
