Two New Eats

2011-09-23T21:01:00.007-04:00

For lunch Steve and I went to the newly opened Jason's Deli in Columbia. We went around 1pm and they had a pretty decent lunch crowd. The line was about 5 people long, but moved quickly. I got the salad bar and soup and Steve got the Big Joe sandwich (he liked it very much). The salad bar was very fresh and clean with plenty of vegetable and non-vegetable choices like banana pudding! They also

Plantar Fasciitis Woes

I have been dealing (suffering) with plantar fasciitis for over 3 years now. I have tried just about every conservative treatment therapy from physical therapy, NSAIDs, cortisone injections, stretching, night splint, ice, taping, custom orthotics, and Graston. The pain has become more constant and to the point where I would cry as soon as I got home from work because I was in pain and

Earthquake!

2011-08-23T15:29:00.001-04:00

I was sitting at the desk and talking to a patient in the triage room at work when all of a sudden I saw the walls shaking and the ceiling moving. I really wasn't sure what was going on and thought that I was going to pass out or something. The patient and I just looked at each other and then he grabbed my arm and said, "we gotta go stand in the doorway!" At that instant, I knew we were

Baltimore Farmer's Market

After a late night of playing cards with some friends, Steve and I were debating whether or not if we wanted to wake up early to go to the Baltimore Farmer's Market under the JFX downtown in Baltimore. We slept in later than planned, but woke up early enough to still go. We ended up getting there around 9:30am. People had advised me to get there the earlier the better because a lot of farms sell

Yesterday was the memorial service for one of my patients who passed away on June 16. Tracy was just 30 years old. It is only times like this when I feel sad and depressed about what I do. Tracy and her husband were two of the first people I had the opportunity to meet and care for when I was cross-training at the Cancer Institute. I was working at the main hospital at the time on the inpatient

There were some over ripe bananas in the fruit basket at Steve's so instead of just throwing them away, I used them to make banana bread-muffins. I got the recipe from Simply Recipes.

Steve and I went to brunch at Miss Shirley's in Roland Park. This was my second time and Steve's first... I wanted to prove to him that there are some really good places to eat in Baltimore Co. not just in Howard Co. :PFor appetizers we got savory grits with marscapone cheese, chives, and bacon & baked figs with balsamic vinegar, goat cheese, and ham. Delicious!For our main course Steve got the

Sugar Plum's recent post about her trip to Vegas inspired me to post pics of my trip there in March. It was my first time there and didn't get to see and do everything I wanted, but the city is just too darn big and busy!We went to the Penn & Teller show and met them after the show, very cool. Did a TON of eating and walking around too, not so much gambling though, which is probably a good thing!

Yesterday my honey was having a rough day at work so I made him banana bread that he had been requesting for some time now :)I used the recipe for Banana Bread from The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion (p. 80). I substituted equal parts applesauce for the oil and reduced the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup. I also used buttermilk, 1/2 cup of walnuts, and baked it in two 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pans.I didn't

Yesterday we celebrated Jen's bachelorette party by going to a tour and tasting at Boordy Vineyard where I learned that Boordy is Maryland's first Winery and Vineyard. Then we went to dinner at The Melting Pot. I'm honored to be a bridesmaid and can't wait til the wedding in two weeks!My parents, brother, and Steve ordered Pat's while I was at dinner and I just had to post this picture of a large

Just saying hi from my new MacbookPro! :)I went to Newark, DE with Steve today to purchase this baby tax free. Apple is having a promo for college students who buy any computer... You buy an iPod touch with your computer and get a rebate for the price of the iPod and $100 dollars towards the purchase of a printer. I got a printer that costs $99 so, I basically got that for free too. Total cost of

Today I woke up early and went to BodyJAM at the gym then grabbed a Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla iced coffee for only .99 cents! This was one of the best FVICs I've ever had, props to the girl at the DD on Honeygo Blvd, you made the perfect iced coffee, just the way I like it.... a little cream and 2 Splenda. I run on Dunkin' :) After my morning perk, I returned a library book and mailed a card

Vintage Virginia Wine Festival on Saturday was a lot of fun! The combination of all day wine drinking, eating greasy food, and sun did not make for such a fun evening. I felt like crap and was afraid to eat anything and the sight of any beer or wine made my stomach uneasy.After passing out at 10pm I woke up this morning feeling so much better. I slept like a rock. Steve and I were very productive

Yesterday Steve, my boyfriend came over after work and he made this corn salad that I have been bugging him to make since we saw the recipe in Real Simple magazine at the HoCo library a few weeks back. I only bug him because he is such a goooood cook!He grilled the corn for the recipe which was so quick, fresh, and tasty. Here is the link to the recipe! Corn Salad with Feta and WalnutsSince we

I've had this blog since 2007 and this is my millionth attempt at trying to maintain it. I've missed blogging, really! I'm sure I've lost all my readers, but anyway, I decided to start fresh, delete every post, and post about whatever comes to my goofy mind. I'm not going to limit myself to baking/foodie blogging anymore.A lot has happened since I last blogged. I am going to grad school full time
