Happy Leap Year!

Today, there was no leaping for me! I am was tiiiiirrrreeeedddd - and for not a very good reason. I stayed late to work, but then, I started to research food processors and waffle irons. Yes, I am overtired today but I was doing market research for kitchen items. By the end of the weekend - I will own both, if not at least one. I feel that a processor is a key. How I've lived this long without one, I am not even sure.

So, some very exciting new for me today! I follow this blog: http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/ through Facebook and she had this fantastic post about signing up for a "Food Penpal" Yup! That's right. It's true. I can't wait, but a little nervous because that means people are going to read this. People that are outside of the "exclusive" membership! But, this is good because it means I have to keep up on this! YAY!


Tonight, I thought I might talk about my weekday food experiences.This week is special, per say because I am staying in camp (do every second week) and someone else cooks for me! Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. Sometimes I have to read the menu to make sure I know what's on the slop line and sometimes I don't know what the titles on the menu means (for example - P.E.I Vegetables - What the H!? Right.... Green and yellow beans... I had no idea those were native to P.E.I or classified as their vegetable. What would an Alberta vegetable be?? I'd really like to know). Backing up slightly - for those who are not familiar with the camp life - A company has an operation in a remote location, so they build a "camp" for their employees to stay in while they are working in this area. Camp isn't tents - its a big building, which has many rooms (think college dorm), a cafeteria, gym, pub, Tim Hortons, etc. etc. It's really not so bad! I meant to take pictures of all of my meals today but forgot so, I will share the few that I have. The menus are set up well in advance, so you will know Monday, what you are eating Wednesday, Thursday, etc. etc. Wednesday is typically "Steak or Prime Rib Night". Tonight, it was prime rib and ribs! I, for whatever reason, was feeling ribs and felt plesantly surprised to see asapargus (though it was mushy). You can't be fussy to eat here - that's for sure!


Brontosaurus Ribs?















Anyway, that's about all for tonight, I need to get myself to bed. The mornings come quick when I'm up here!

Happy Friday people! You know what that means to me!? I've had the day off. Yes, Fridays off! Sometimes, I have it so good - ok wait, I have it good a lot. I really do. So, I'm feeling pretty joyful today. I know you're wondering why, so I'll tell you: 1) The first person I saw today was my hot chiropractor. Yeah, he's hot. And nice. And smart. And hot. As I once told my friend, "You'd get injured just to be able to see him." He made my hips feel a little better. Yay. 2) I drank another one of those smoothies that I can't get over. I added some spinach for good measure. 3) I visited my friend Rebekah for a massage. That b*tch put me in all sorts of pain but lubricated me in oil and we laughed, so it was good. I'm sure I'll feel a lot better tomorrow! It was VERY needed. 4) It's sunny out! LOVE sun. 5) Jana and I booked a trip to Vegas and going to the Passport Office made me 10X more excited for it. 6) I'm meeting my wo...

AMAZING! What a super great, fantastic program ! I missed it when I wasn't doing it. I got paired up with wonderful lady named Ceecee who lives in Vancouver. So, of course, being in Vancouver, she had all sorts of access to delicious finds! You can read up on her and her kitchen adventures  here ! So, here we are: Homemade Pumpkin Chia Granola - I ate half the bag upon opening it. OMGSOGOOD. Chocolate covered dried banana - Also eaten as soon as I opened the package Sea Salt Fusion Veggie Garnish Vancouver's Hottest Salt and a tiny cute spoon to go with it Hemp Hearts Espresso Bean Chocolate Bar This was great! Thank you so, so much Ceecee! I'm on Day #5 of the Whole30 (which I'll update on later) so I'll have to wait until after to enjoy the chocolate bar and the other half bag of granola! It'll be such a treat after. I was paired up with Theresa in Delta, BC. I made the package a spicy theme - Black Bean Chips, Spicy Jalapeno Salsa and Ch...
