There was lots of color in my diet today.  Absolutely necessary after yesterday’s monochromatic menu. (My post title is also a nod to Walt Disney because as of today’s count, there are 76 days until my Disney vacation!  77 days until the Wine & Dine Half Marathon!) I made of oatmeal using the last of [...]

On Thursday night, I attended Meghan and Michelle‘s wine tasting event at Boston Wine Exchange. Complete with cupcakes, Cabot cheese, wine, and bloggers, I think the event was a definite success! We sampled 8 wines, 4 whites and 4 reds.  I liked everything that I tried, but had some definite favorites that needed to come [...]

Today is pretty much a repeat of yesterday.  It’s still HOT out, I had more job training, I ate the same foods. Last night Miles was acting like the King of Pride Rock.  He was perched on the deck, keeping an eye on what was going on in the house and in the yard.  He [...]

After the HW event at BWX on Tuesday night, Jared and I stomped over to Matt and Natalie’s house.  Our visit was a little unexpected, but Matt and Nat were gracious hosts and welcomed us with WINE and food. Homemade pizza with ricotta cheese and eggplant. Natalie attempted to bake cookies with marzipan. We should’ve [...]

Muddy boots!  Yesterday I did a bit of work outside in the garden. Even though there weren’t any plants to actually take care of!  My yard is still full of hay, mulch, sticks and rocks.  It will look pretty someday in the near future!  I had cereal for breakfast, but didn’t take a picture. I [...]

I enjoyed a glass of San Pellegrino while I spent the afternoon/early evening studying nutrition. San Pellegrino is basically Italian lemonade. When my running partner got home from work, he declared it was too windy to run.  Do I smell a lousy excuse for skipping a workout?!?!  I sent him outside to bring the trash [...]

Yesterday went by really slowly.  I felt like I was moving at a snail’s pace. I ate a bowl of cereal for breakfast without taking a photo, watched TV, and started cleaning the apartment.  I even spent time photographing the snails that were out and about in my back yard. When the rain let up, [...]

Yesterday’s outfit was green to show my support for the Celtics.  Then when I got chilly I added my Red Sox hoodie.  The Bruins were the only team missing from my clothing. All 3 Boston teams played yesterday, but unfortunately all 3 lost. I made a taco salad with Wednesday’s leftovers.  Still delicious! For an [...]

All day, I’d been hinting that tonight I’d be celebrating something other than Cinco de Mayo. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen… May is Mediterranean Month.  I love Oldways and the concepts behind the Med Diet.  I was looking forward to writing a major post about the diet, and about my experience olive oil tasting on Newbury [...]

After the Sports and Fitness Expo, Becky and I got ready for Wine Riot. We headed to the Cyclorama for some tasty sips. Plus Cabot cheese to go with the wine.  Mmmm! I even tried Malbec in a Box. Riesling, the ultimate girly girl wine! Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed by Wine Riot.  I [...]
