I have totally sucked at this blogging thing lately. I've been hella busy at my new job, with training and everything. You gotta prioritize, you know? I do want to keep on writing, though, and as I've learned from Jen Sincero, if you don't do it- it doesn't get done. I had originally had the goal of writing one op-ed a week, but I don't think that's practical. I'm going to try to do two a month for April and May. Have any ideas on what I should write about? Post a comment or drop me a line! Went hiking in Malibu this weekend and it was beautiful! If you live in SoCal, make the drive and hit up Malibu Bluffs Park. It's gorgeous! TMS and I have been going every weekend this month to drink a coffee, hike the trails and just enjoy the good weather.
Another awesome thing we've been enjoying is the farmers' market. We made a commitment to eat sustainably and locally as much as possible, while cutting down on animal based proteins as much as possible. I made purple sweet potato and baby beets for dinner the night before last and they were awesome! Snap peas, carrots, asparagus, blood oranges, cuties, white grapefruit, baby artichokes, strawberries and blueberries part of our haul this week. This has been our second week shopping exclusively at the farmers' market, and it's cost about $20/more than Trader Joes. And if we cut out the more exotic stuff we're sure that it would cost the same, or less. It's been really fun, like an adventure, every time we've gone shopping.
As far as television, I've been watching RuPaul's Drag Race (was totally surprised that they sent Pandora home! and TMS and I HATE Tyra! HATE!) and Millionaire Matchmaker (we LOVE you, Patti!). Nothing too exciting. TMS has been recording Lost, so I've kind of gotten roped into that, too. It's exhausting, but addictive. I'm powerless and Must. Keep. Watching.
And that's that. Not as awesome or controversial as some of my more recent posts, but it's what's up. I will return soon.....

Your decision to eat better and to eat things that are less destructive of the planet is very positive.
I wonder if you grow any of your own veggies. fresh veggies right off the plant are delicious and it is pretty cool that they have never been on a truck. In the case of tomatoes the taste changes if they are ever refrigerated so eating them fresh and vine ripened is truly a taste delight. Gardening also saves a trip to the gym.
