With the talk of cake and weddings, I've learned a few things over the past few weeks.-Weddings are political. As much as people tell you how you should do your wedding, they always have their own opinion of who to invite and what to do.-When going to a bridal bazaar, never wear the 'bride' sticker....

People will understand that getting a piece of the cake is better than not getting any cake at all
So I've set a goal for myself: to try and schedule a cake tasting once a week until March. It's not a very hard goal to keep but I have discovered that it directly conflicts with my other goal of attempting to lose 5 pounds. Choices, choices. I know.

“You smell like beef and cheese! You don’t smell like Santa.”
I love tacos. I love tacos more than burritos. Tacos are small and if you choose, you can have more than one with different fillings. With burritos, they are just too big and I get bored with eating the same burrito after a while. If you love tacos like me, you should be able to... Continue Reading →
By the way, don’t eat the yellow snow
I love Trader Joe's. I started going to Trader Joe's in college, exploring the aisles and discovering new foods. Then when I moved out on my own to a tiny little studio right under the flight path to the airport, I started shopping there almost full time. Today, I still do about 75% of my... Continue Reading →
