WIWT: One Woman Army
| 11 Comments on WIWT: One Woman Army
Earlier this week, I was in Dallas for Yummy You meetings. We’ve been laying low a bit, working on making things bigger and better, so thanks everyone for your patience, and fingers crossed for more Yummy You this holiday season! So much has happened with Yummy You this year that I should probably never talk about, but it’s been an interesting journey in trusting your gut and doing your best to build a good team.
I wish I could show you the things I saw in my meetings. There’s going to be so much fun stuff!! Stuff I can’t wait to have myself! Wheeee!
Hairy got me this tshirt that says One Woman Army. It really feels that way sometimes, but then I remember I do have a great support system around me. There are days when I feel like nobody can do their job right, but I trust that all the hard work and anxiety will pay off in the end. In good news, I might be getting an intern!
Thanks everyone for the bday wishes!! Again, it was a very low key bday. The BFF and I didn’t even take pictures at the amusement park. We decided we were definitely too old for roller coasters. I felt like I was getting beat up in the head by a gang. Plus, the funnel cakes don’t even taste good anymore. It was like cat food squished into a circular patty. Only Disneyland for me from now on! We had fun, though, as only besties can.
Last night, the BFF held a small sewing class for me and her roommie and we got takeout for dinner. It was the first I ever sewed anything on a machine. We sewed on paper to learn! It was exciting and scary. You just kinda had to be ok with making mistakes.

Today was my 35th bday! It was super mellow. I had a nice dinner with my family, went to a chef-related after-party event thingie at the Westin for two seconds, peeped Richard Blaise and Fabio from Top Chef, took a pic in a photobooth, and went home to work. Tomorrow my bff is taking me to an amusement park to eat junk food and go on some rides. I started to think about how weird it would have been as a 13 year old kid, for my 35 year old mom to go to Great America with her best friend on her birthday!!!
BURGER COOK OFF! (NSFV) not safe for veggie/vegans
| 9 Comments on BURGER COOK OFF! (NSFV) not safe for veggie/vegans
A few years ago, my brother and his wife thought of this idea to have a joint birthday bbq at my parents’ house since we are both summer babies. One year we had a burger cook off, and I was too lazy to edit the video, and now I have no idea where those files are.
The photo above is my brother and me, in the super hero capes that Manda made for us. We are all very special people.
Anyhoo, we organized the burger cook off again this year. I didn’t invite my veggie/vegan friends, because they are nice people and would offer to come anyway probably, but I just wouldn’t want to torture them with the celebration of meats that would ensue.
I made the score sheets and prize ribbons the night before at like 3am. It’s helpful to have lots of craft supplies available at home at all times!
Root for your favorite contender and see who wins!
p.s. it’s not my birthday until August 6th. I’ll be 35!
oh p.p.s. The use of “Rush” for the music came about because we were watching Adventures of Power, which is a really funny movie about a dude who loves air drumming.

Here’s me with a giant puffy delicious fried what bread called a bhatura. We had dinner at Dosa the other night. I could eat a million of these things. SO GOOD.
What are the oat-y parts of Lucky Charms?

Cat food. Runes. I tried to google what shapes these are supposed to be, with not much success. Hairy said it was a cross, a church bell, and a Jesus fish, but I think what he thinks is a church bell just looks like a a mutated tree.
