This week’s quote is in honor of my favorite vegan, my cousin Naomi. Enjoy!
“Calvin: Why are you crying mom?
Mom: I’m cutting up an onion.
Calvin: It must be hard to cook if you anthropomorphize your vegetables.”
–Bill Waterson, Calvin and Hobbes
VEGETABLES HAVE FEELINGS, TOO!
Starting next week I’m going to try re-formatting my blog just a bit, in terms of my posting schedule. Mondays (which were previously reserved for “Quote of the Week” are now going to be a “weekend round-up,” highlighting all the shenanigans I got into over the weekend, and giving my readers a chance to know me a little better as a person and a blogger. I’ll be moving the Quote to Wednesday, and saving the review/recipe/random fodder posts for Friday (or Saturday if my week has been particularly busy). I hope you guys like the new format!
This week’s quote is in honor of Girl Scout Cookie season (basically the best season of the year), and comes from Barbara Johnson. Enjoy!
“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand”
–Barbara Johnson
Turns out there are a lot of “Barbara Johnsons” out there, so rather than run the risk of picking the wrong one, I just went with this Buzzfeed graphic instead.
I hope that whether you’re single, in a relationship, or some weird and ambiguous third option that you have a happy and chocolate-filled Valentine’s Day weekend!
This week’s quote comes from food photographer Karl Petzke and sums up how I’m feeling today.
“Chocolate symbolizes, as does no other food, luxury, comfort, sensuality, gratification, and love.”
–Karl Petzke
Great. Now I’m craving chocolate AND champagne.
A quick one for this week! Today’s quote comes from Jay Leno, who’s occasionally funny. Here’s a good one.
“Soup is just a way of screwing you out of a meal.”
–Jay Leno
But thank God for Jimmy Fallon!
Sorry I’ve been a little slack on the quotes this month. Things are finally starting to settle down, so I’ll be much more diligent (hopefully).
This week’s quote comes from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle In Time (among other things). This quote pretty much sums up my past couple of weeks. I may have been taking it a little too literally, and therefore am off to the gym. Ta ta!
“That’s something I’ve noticed about food: whenever there’s a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better. ”
–Madeleine L’Engle
If I’m ever in a crisis, someone should bring me mac and cheese.
Hey everybody! My birthday was last week (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!) and my awesome boyfriend bought me a gorgeous sapphire necklace, a fancy three-course dinner, and a kitten. Jewelry, delicious food, a KITTEN…what else could a girl ask for?
Here’s a picture of Ben holding my new kitten. His name is Weasley, because he’s a ginger. And I love him.
Contrary to popular Reddit belief…. Ben is not mexican. Just FYI.
Fezzik still isn’t sure how he feels about this new furball hanging out around the apartment. He’s been hiding in my closet a lot. But they’ve started playing together more and I think Fezzik is starting to tolerate his new lil buddy.
Kitteh! Come out of teh closet!
Today’s quote is in honor of my super awesome new furry family (Ben is somewhat included in that… not that he would know since he NEVER READS MY BLOG). But, I digress. Enjoy your week! I hope you’re all looking forward to a couple more Boston posts!
“Love me, feed me, never leave me.”
— Garfield
Hopefully they’ll get along better than Garfield and Odie… probably not, though.
