Pear & Sesame Seed Bread
I was looking for a way to use a bag of black sesame seeds and two pears. This recipe came out semi-sweet, toasty outside and moist inside. I was working with what was left in my pantry, so next time I'll go for all grapeseed oil instead of butter. Let me know if you try making it! adapted from…

Texture Craving
I'm hungry and have no idea what I want, but I do know it has to be chewy. This has been going on for a week or so, and no I'm not pregnant (zero chance). What kind of chewy? I have no idea. Not juicy steak or rich brownie, not potato chips or carrots, not bread or cheese or nuts or a crispy juicy apple... So I had some…

Bicycling in Snow
I decided to be stupidly optimistic, and do my first bike ride to work today after the big snowstorm we had here yesterday. We got 5 inches of powder over a layer of ice. The route was 1.4 miles from my door to the gate where I work, and it was about another .5 mile from the gate to my building. First, I could only safely…

Hand Strength
I recently got a job that requires quite a bit of wrench/screwdriver work. The guys I work with tend to tighten a nut, screw, or valve so much that I cannot remove it without their help. This is seriously annoying, and not good for my macho-woman ego! I figure that it is just going to take time and repetition to build up…

Dunkin's Eggs
I'm trying to find the nutrition data and/or ingredients list for Dunkin Donuts eggs. I know, should be just eggs, right? Well probably not. The breakfast I get at DD once or twice a week is nearly identical to the breakfast I make at home the rest of the week, except at home I use Country Hen organic eggs and soymilk in…

Whatever is in the pantry
Tonight I put together a meal designed specifically to both use up some ingredients that are getting old, and custom fit the macros I had left for the day. When I put it together in my mind, it sounded really bland, but it turned out better than I expected and I can see myself making it again with only a few changes. What…

Knee Support
Is there a "wrong way" to wear a knee support? I bought a Wellgate Women's Ultra-Light Knee Support, hoping to relieve some post-run ache and stiffness. At first it worked really well, and I was having no pain during or after running. But now I find that the top of it tends to roll down and/or the entire thing tends to…

Alfalfa Ideas?
I bought some alfalfa sprouts to have on my tuna-avocado sandwiches (excellent :D ), but now I'm out of tuna and still have half of the sprouts left. I don't want to waste them, and I'm not planning a grocery run until probably Thursday. I grow fresh veggies, but I rarely sit down to an entire salad. Green smoothies are…

Sympathy Gift?
Hey all, I just found out a friend/coworker of mine fell and bummed up her hand (possibly broken). She was having a bad day already, and I can only imagine how down she feels right now. She has began a serious running program lately, and was planning to join us at the gym for weights tomorrow. Obviously, she won't be able…

Zucchini?
My roommate hates mushy veggies. Her aunt gave her some frozen garden squash and zucchini mix which after cooking turned out to be very squishy from being frozen. I thought maybe zucchini bread would be a good use for it, but all the recipes I've seen call for grated zucchini, and we have... mushy slices. Does anyone know…

Pathetic Hot Dog
I went to the cheapo movie theater and ordered a hot dog before the film started. What I got was the most poor pathetic skinny excuse for a hot dog I have ever seen. For some reason it took like 10 minutes to cook and had a slit cut down the middle. There it sat, engulfed by the bun, split open and just so pathetic. Do I…
