A Day in the Life

It seems as each day passes recently, I've been inspired and awestruck by the most normal and routine things that have been going on. For example, every morning I wake up to the sound of my piggies asking for veggies.  They quite literally have their tiny paws perched on the veggie dish just waiting once they hear me wake up and this allows me to start my day off with a smile.  Another thing I notice is the beauty of the trail I run on at lunch time.  Even within a week the trail can change.  There is always a season coming and a season going.  I have no idea how the game Draw Something became so addictive to me, but I find myself playing it any idle minute I have.  Also, I "stole" a juicer from my friend...she wasn't using it!  So, I have been experimenting with some crazy juice mixtures.  I have enjoyed them all.  And, yes, they do taste better in my ET glass. -A

Random Holiday Pictures

A lot goes on around the holidays.  Here is a feature of some of the food, presents, and travel from the last week.  See you next year! - A

I had to taste the ice cream with "NOTES OF AMBER"! 

Yummy.

Veggies and Hummus...

Beautiful sunset on my drive down to my sister's.

I made this!  Any excuse for guacamole.  I've heard it doesn't always have to be eaten with a spoon.

My sister made us Christmas dinner this year.  She has a few specialties, salmon and potatoes.

And she also bakes yummy things, like Earth.

"Luke, I am your Aunt."  Seriously, he is helping unwrap presents.

PS: Told you it would be random.

Aioli!

Tonight's dinner was inspired by yesterday's dictionary.com word of the day: aioli.  I have been craving roasted vegetables and aioli ever since.  I threw in some fresh parsley for extra flavor.  Yummy. -A

Pesto, Peppers, Pasta, Piggies

Aside from the awesome alliteration of the title, I also want to add Basil, Avocado, and Bread.

The other day at work I came back to my desk to an odd shaped interoffice mail envelope.  Inside of it was a wonderful surprise.  Not just some green peppers, but along with them, an instructive post-it note.  I felt obligated to comply.  Below you will see a wonderful pesto, lentil, and green pepper Alfredo sauce over pasta, a side of bread with avocado, and some fresh basil.  Yummy.  And, since I share food with my guinea pigs, they also enjoyed the peppers that arrived via interoffice mail.  -A
