The promised post with tan food bentos! Very exciting, I know. Soup bowl: Gravy Main bowl: Mashed potatoes Large bowl: Chickpea cutlet Small bowl: Chocolate chip cookie This is probably the most tan bento. The chickpea cutlets are from Veganomicon. They’re made with chickpeas, wheat gluten flour, and some tasty seasoning. The lemon zest makes […]

Watch that bill
In the year or so that I’ve had service with Comcast, they’ve screwed up my billing at least three different times. I’m getting pretty frustrated at this point. I thought it was pretty basic to set someone up on a plan and then let it go for a few months, but evidently not. The first […]
Accepting peak restrictions
I was looking at a Netflix flier on M’s floor this morning and remarked “Funny they say that the plans start at 4.99 per month when the 4.99 plan really isn’t all that useful.” Then I thought, well, the 4.99 plan is 1 movie at a time, 2 per month. How often do I really […]
Tan food
It’s apparently been about six months since I posted any bentos, but I’ve either been lazy about lunch or lazy about photographing it, because I only found five that I haven’t posted. And three of them are not at all photogenic and consist almost entirely of food in varying shades of brown. Lunch doesn’t always […]
Mark your calendars – short sleeves!
Today was the first day of short-sleeve morning cycling this year. What a lovely day. And fewer people than usual tried to do stupid things on the road, as well. I’m guessing I’ll need my jacket on the way home, because the sun will be going down. But by next week, with the early DST […]
101 in 1001 #8: VwaV Chickpea-Hijiki Salad Sandwiches
For probably only the second time ever (the first time was the chickpea broccoli casserole, coincidentally), I’m not really happy with a recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance. The Chickpea-Hijiki Salad Sandwiches (and also, I must say, I am not amused by calling them sammiches — it’s not cute, it’s annoying) are … odd. The […]
101 in 1001: #2 (pizza) and #60 (tennis)
I knocked off a few more of my goals today, as well as doing my taxes (which were actually pretty easy). #2: Make my own pizza with no help. This wasn’t a huge deal because I’ve made pizza a number of times as half a team, but I wanted to do it by myself. I […]
101 in 1001 #9 & #10: Eating well
As part of becoming aware of what I’m eating, I started keeping a food diary again. Keeping a food diary for me is sort of like keeping a budget. It’s something very picky and obsessive that I do okay with for about a month or two at a time, which is all I really need […]
Eating consciously
I’m the last person you’d think would claim to need to work on my food intake. I cook for myself and eat mostly whole foods (in spite of my obsession with chocolate mint cookies). But I feel like I haven’t really been pushing myself to eat sensibly, on the excuse that given that I buy […]
Obstacle course
This morning’s trip down Evelyn was an obstacle course for some reason. An Aramark truck, a guy backing out who couldn’t see because of the Aramark truck, a person coming out forward who was just being careless, a guy walking his bike right into the lane as I was coming (even though there is no […]
