Hey ladies--I''m still here, just getting ready for my interview. Hard to do when every time you sit down, a cat jumps into your lap and makes him/herself at home.

Our cats our such lovers.

I''ve never done one of those cleanses, but I know someone who swears by the water/lemon/maple syrup/cayenne pepper cleanse. Maybe I''ll give it a try one of these days.


The dieting is going well in our house. Last night we had quinoa and broccoli with some clementine tangerines for dessert. Who knows--maybe I will end up losing a few pounds if we keep eating like this!

Aww! And then once the kittehs settle, you can''t move them! They''re too cute!


LP do you want to come cook for me??

Anytime, Elle!

If you haven''t gotten into quinoa, btw, you totally should. You cook it just like rice and it tastes similar to brown rice, but moister and more delicious. Nom nom nom nom nom. Plus, mix the leftover quinoa with feta cheese and tomato the next day and you have a delicious lunch. Maybe some green olives too. Mmmmmmm...

I''ve never even heard of it! But now I"m very interested!

Great! FI said I could have the dinner of my choice so I picked pizza and buffalo wings

Totally worth the million grams of fat. Plus he got me two HUGE cupcakes (one red velvet with a candle! and one chocolate chocolate) from Crumbs in Grand Central Station - SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a blast eating and playing video games. This weekend he''s taking me to a movie and out for dinner and Sunday I''m going to see OUR TOWN!

eta: OH!!!!!!! AND he got me this beautiful bracelet from a vendor in the city. She uses precious stones. let me see if I can find her site...

Mmm delicious dinner of choice!!

We should continue your birthday celebrations next week and go for margs!!!!

LP, are you a vegetarian??? Just curious cuz it seems like there''s never meat in your meals! A and I eat vegetarian usually about once a week. I like to think I make a kick-ass tofu stir-fry.

 

[CNOS128]

No, I just looked - there is ALSO a Crumbs in Grand Central! Yum.

And - I love quinoa. We get an Israeli couscous/Quinoa/something else blend at Trader Joe''s that is awesome.

 

[hisdiamondgirl]

Mmmmm LP, that sounds delish. Making me hungry over here!

I guess you just need a few days where you're not planning to leave the house, before you embark on a 'cleanse.' Maybe that'll be my spring break!

Spring break in the sh!tter. Sounds great to me!

HA!

OK, gross but funny story. So for some reason broccoli always makes me a little gassy. So last night, we were in bed and I (quietly) let one rip. About 30 seconds later, K goes 'WHAT THE F***??? That is beyond stinky...it's....sulFURIOIUS!'

Best. Word. Ever.

LP, that's amazing.

Bia, your bday celebration sounds wonderful. And seriously, if you can't eat like that on your bday, when CAN you?!??

LOL That's exactly what he said. I have to hand it to him because he's captain of the 'Healthy Food Police' so for him to give in to that menu was HUGE! I think I actually saw him wince when I said buffalo wings and REAL NY-thin-and-greasy-style-PIZZA...'none of this healthy real mozzarella pizza crap!!!'

Nah, but we eat vegetarian most of the time. We have meat maybe once or twice a week? K grew up vegetarian (his parents are) and I was a vegetarian for ages, so it''s pretty easy for us. I was thinking about making chicken fajitas tonight, though. Nom nom nom.

Agreed.

Full face? Depends on what your definition is. I''d make sure my skin looked good, splash on natural blush, eyeliner and mascara (that awake thing), and a nice neutral lip stick/gloss/balm. Full face? yes. Tons of makeup? no.

[Hudson_Hawk]

Quinoa is super yummy! Very high in fiber and protein. It can taste odd sometimes, so make sure you rinse it before cooking unless you buy pre-rinsed. It looks like couscous when it''s dry and cooks up to be super fluffy and yummy. I love it cooked in stock and then served with butter and spinach mixed in. YUMM!

I just decimated an avocado

 

[ladypirate]

Mmmm...I could totally decimate an avocado right now.

OK, ladies, off for my interview! I''ll check in when I get back, but if I miss any of you--have a FANTASTIC weekend!
