A little scared of this post’s title? You should be. As of Monday night, I’ve survived 2 Bikram yoga classes! Oh. My. God. I knew it was going to be intense, but I had no idea I would leave feeling as if I’d been mugged, beaten, run-over, and dragged down the street…and ready to do…
Virtual Vegan Potluck: Almost-Raw Banoffee Pie Bites
As a lover of bananas and all things British, you’d better believe I adore banoffee pie. Oddly enough, I never did taste it while I studied in London (8 years ago!). Since then, however, I have sampled this delectable dessert in my own kitchen. Because today’s Virtual Vegan Potluck is a celebration of the vegan…
#27: A Winning What I Ate Wednesday
This Wednesday couldn’t be any better culinarily (is that even a word?). I woke up this morning to discover that Alabama is two-thirds of the way to the 21st century after the Legislature passed homebrewing legislation late last night. All it needs is the Governor’s signature. I don’t even care that we’re last in the nation…
Tunnel Vision 5K {MIMM #8}
This past Saturday I (mostly) ran my second 5K—Tunnel Vision—hosted by the Lions Club. It was freezing (for coastal Alabama…in May), but it couldn’t have been a more gorgeous day! We began near the downtown library and ran down Government Street through the tunnel and onto the causeway. Thankfully, I didn’t feel too claustrophobic in…
Cinco de Mayo: Black Bean, Mango, and Avocado Salad
I know Cinco de Mayo isn’t a huge holiday in Mexico like most Americans tend to think, but where I’m from, we love any excuse to party. After many tequila-filled college celebrations (and today being a Sunday), we’re having a low-key “celebration” at home with tacos, margaritas, and a delicious, refreshing black bean salad. Using…
WIAW #26: Office Eating
It’s no secret the standard office job can be detrimental to our health. Human beings are simply not meant to sit 8-10 hours a day. Likewise, if your office isn’t equipped with a kitchen (or at least a mini fridge and microwave), depending on your choices, your health could be even more at risk. Although…
MIMM #7: 5th Anniversary Edition
After a marvelous weekend celebrating Mark’s and my 5th anniversary, I didn’t dread the workweek too terribly. Mondays become Tuesdays soon enough, and today was a balmy, yet beautiful, sunny day. When I returned home from work Friday evening, Mark had my gift on the table, along with some beautiful pink roses. Since wood is…
Awesome Workout + WIAW #25
After a less-than-fantastic day at work (in a nutshell: unexpected lay-offs that affected one of my officemates and a few people I’ve gotten to know around the facility), I did have an awesome workout at gymnastics. I guess a lot of people were out for spring break, so the gym was pretty empty. I did some…
Color Me Rad
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful—and it was our very first 5K! Bright and early Saturday morning, Mark and I downed spinach/fruit smoothies and drove to the fairgrounds for Color Me Rad. There were tons of people there! We ran the 9:20 wave, which began right on time. Though we didn’t run the entire way, we…
Mirko Pasta Review
Several weeks ago, Mark and I decided to try a new restaurant called Mirko Pasta. Originating in Atlanta, Mirko Pasta is a Southeastern chain, with a focus on traditional, fresh pasta and quality ingredients. In my experience, Mobile doesn’t have an abundance of high-quality Italian restaurants. Sure, we’ve had fantastic pizza at La Pizzeria, but…
