Magic Orange Juice

Posted on November 10, 2012 | 1 Comment

Gavin and I juiced the oranges that were leftover from the blessing ceremony. The juice tasted amazing. We did quick cost analysis of buying oranges and juicing them versus buying a container of orange juice. Both Gavin and I decided that it would be slightly better financially to juice the oranges ourselves. But SO much more flavorful, too.

In addition to fresh orange juice, Gavin has been making me eat lots of meat lately to help fight my never-ending cold: turkey sliders, bacon, pulled pork…

I’m not complaining. It’s delicious. (And he happens to also be a fantastic cook.)

On Sunday night, we added pomegranate to our fresh orange juice, which is full of antioxidants. In case you’re wondering how to peel a pomegranate, it’s actually quite messy.

But totally worth it because its so delicious.

New Recipes: Man Food

Posted on October 18, 2012 | Leave a comment

I didn’t get home until 8pm last night but Gavin waited to eat with me anyway. I made two new recipes, which I immediately categorized as “man food.” I mean, wings… cheese bread? (I have never been in a situation with another woman when we have craved either of those things.)

Here’s what we had:

– Boneless Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dip

– Garlic Cheese Rolls

– Peas with salt & pepper (no photo)

Gavin and I were both impressed with the recipe, which I’m going to file away under “potential Super Bowl party dishes” because that seemed appropriate.

After dinner, I spent some time sketching Gavin’s new logo with my favorite tools: a mechanical pencil, a hardcover-bound sketchbook and an eraser. After that, I worked on some interface designs for a project at work.

I may have had a glass of wine (or two) but this week has been so stressful and I haven’t run at all. I’m going to try to find better ways of dealing with stress. There is a yoga class on Sunday which I want to go to because Gavin is usually watching football anyway. I haven’t been going to the ones at work because I haven’t had enough time recently during the day. And I may be coming down with a cold. That’s probably from not juicing, especially during a season change.
