The List Volume LXVI

While I’ve sort of been living in a bubble for the past few weeks, watching only reruns of Sex and the City and drinking copious amounts of wine, that hasn’t stopped annoying things from popping up in my otherwise pleasant life.

  1. Having to put on a brave face when all you really want to do is hide under the covers.  For a year.
  2. Shaving.
  3. Forgetting why you stopped wearing a certain pair of shoes and then wearing them only to remember exactly why you stopped wearing them.
  4. Pork chops.
  5. Being completely and utterly blindsided.
  6. Realizing you are out of toilet paper when it’s just a little too late.
  7. Waking up in the middle of the night with the TV still on and hearing the Unsolved Mysteries theme song.
  8. The film on your teeth after eating Greek yogurt.  Feels like the next time you open your mouth it’s going to look like a sheet of Saran Wrap.
  9. Kanye West again showing at Paris Fashion Week.  If New York is good enough for Michael Kors, it should be (more than) good enough for you.
  10. Kony.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some SATC to get back to.

Why Did You Eat That: Life’s Just a Bowl of Cherries

By |June 6th, 2011|Recipes, Why Did You Eat That?|

As promised, it rained all weekend here. I don’t know about you, but when the sky is grey, my thighs get hungry. However, I’ve gotten back onboard the health train and had to deny my womanly thighs their cries for all things comfort food and instead placate them with something that was delicious, yet still healthy. While Jewish sausage and cheese omelets were being cooked up in my kitchen, I crafted up my very own delightful meal. It may look like dessert for breakfast (and as a matter of fact, tasted like it), but this breakfast was low in calories, high in thigh satisfaction. Behold, the thigh pleaser:

What you need:

  • Fage 0% Greek Yogurt
  • Cherries (sliced)
  • Honey
  • Only thing I would add? Some sliced almonds for a little crunch.

What you do:

You’re kidding, right? Yogurt in bowl. Sliced cherries on top. Drizzle honey. Eat!

So during this whole “cherry extravaganza” I also decided to partake in my own little science experiment. You know how they often reference “cherry stained lips”? Well, I wanted to know if you could, in fact, stain your lips with cherries. So, I went ahead and rubbed my ripe little lips (and cheeks) with cherries, but alas, nothing. Moral of the story? Cherries are for eating.

live and laugh at it all!
