A friend of mine is going to help me with my workout plan, and he asked me to keep track of my workouts and my diet. It’s actually much less embarrassing than I thought it would be, so I figured it was safe to post the log here for the world to see. The contents [...]
On Sunday, I bought a product from Trader Joe’s called “Super Green Drink.” “Danny” told “Emily” I bought something called “Super Green Drink,” and her response was “Why would he buy that?” Upon inspection, I discovered the following things: “Super Green Drink” is not actually a drink “Super Green Drink” is not all that super [...]
Last week, I hosted an event that is becoming something of a holiday tradition with me: the annual glöggfest. Every year, I think about whether there’s really going to be time, or whether people are really going to come and try some crazy unpronounceable drink, and I decide to skip the event. And inevitably, someone [...]
O, vegan girl who made the spicy eggplant-squash soup that I ate for lunch today at the UCSD Food Co-op I ask you, what are you doing Friday night? I have neither met nor seen you, nor do I even know you are a lady (however, I assume you are since by all appearances the [...]
Last year, “Urmi” and I took a trip to Seattle. One of the places we visited was Volunteer Park Cafe. This croissant sandwich item-thing was on the menu. We stole the idea and brought it back to California, with Urmi’s minor but inspired addition of a little ground pepper. Here’s what you do. You take [...]
It’s back! I went to the old student center again this week on Wednesday, and this time the Hare Krishna lunch was out in full force. This time, the grain-based dessert was flavored not with blueberries but with mangoes. I also have a hunch that they have upped the cinnamon quotient. The spinach dish and [...]
Today is Wednesday, which means I have a class from 10:30-12:00 and another starting at 2:00. I had planned to use the two-hour break to go eat Hare Krishna food. As every good UCSD Triton knows, the Hare Krishna food is the best deal in town. You get all-you-can-eat curries, rice, and other lentily vegany [...]
I had my first two days of pre-term at the UCSD Rady School of Management yesterday and today. It was really fun, and I met all my classmates. I could talk about all of that, but I think I’d rather just talk about the bread pudding that I made on Tuesday, because I ate leftovers [...]
I’m going to keep gushing over David Foster Wallace’s gem Consider the Lobster. I just reread the title essay yesterday, which is about a topic which is of course very near and dear to me: vegetarianism. One feature that makes the essay so great is that the ostensible topic is not actually vegetarianism, but rather [...]
Last night, “Michael,” “Alison,” and I went to Extraordinary Desserts in downtown San Diego. Apparently the word of the night was “tacky,” because right after I saw the guy in the sleeveless polo shirt*, I saw this sign on the shelves of take-away gifts: Please be careful, much of our merchandise is fragile. Clients will [...]
