Daughter v. Dad

11 03 2010

Did you enter my Celestial Seasonings Natural Wellness Kit giveaway yet? You have until tomorrow, so go for it!

Fact: I’m alive. It’s a true story.

I really miss blogging and commenting but I’ve been ridiculously busy at work. The April issue is hitting the printers soon, which means there are lots of last minute things to do. It’s tiring but exciting!

I go to the gym after work about 4 times a week. As my savior, my mom has been cooking up some magical meals for me for dinner.

It seems like our conversation about my undeniable love for vegetables and indifference to meat really resonated with her. For example:

She made me a vegetable stir-fry and shrimp dish the other night:

Tonight, it was more veggies with whole wheat spaghetti and tilapia:

I’m loving it. Just so my dad doesn’t get jealous of my special treatment, my mom also makes crazy dishes for him. Like these egg whites stuffed with spiced chicken liver and topped with mayo.

I’ve been also doing lots of drinking. Fruit drinking, that is.

I’ve totally been diggin’ some POM Wonderful. What can I say, it’s a 100% natural pomegranate juice. You can’t go wrong. It’s delicious.

I’m also dangerously addicted to this 100 % pure raspberry apple juice:

When I get off the train in the morning, there’s a little farmer’s market on my way to work. Red Jacket Orchards is always there and I can’t resist! This juice is incredible. There are a bunch of flavors I haven’t tried yet.

Also, the cap makes me deliriously happy:

But now that I’ve done a food comparison with my dad, might as well do a drink one. You know where this is going.

Literally, he’s trying to squeeze out the last drops of vodka out of this bottle:

I hope you’re reading, Grey Goose :)

What made you smile or laugh today?

Me: Did you finally read my first article?

Editor: Yeah. And unfortunately for you, I can’t fire you yet.

I am really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

Shocker —your dad with a vodka bottle–jk :)

I’ve never had chicken liver much less egg whites stuffed with chicken liver but that looks damn good.

I watched old episodes of 30 Rock and that made me smile!

Everything looks great!

And my 2 year old just made me laugh:

Him: I have acorn.

Me: what? where did you get an acorn?

Him: no, I have acorn.

Me: Huh? (looks over) oh, you have A CORN. (single kernal of corn)

Totally understand the need to take a break in order to prioritize work demands. It can be overwhelming holding full time job and blogging.

I love Red Jacket Orchards! That blend of raspberry and apple sounds so sweet and delicious.

I haven’t had a good laugh yet today, but yesterday, I was in hysterics over the fact that a gay friend of mine made it onto Fred Phelp’s website (long story). Nothing filled my friend with more pride than to be publicly shamed by Fred Phelps. It’s one of those paradoxes that works out nicely. Hahaha.
