It has come to my attention that I have been overlooking some of my lovely fans. I do a daily post of recipes, nutrients and minerals of the day on Facebook and Twitter but, not everyone is on Facebook or Twitter…so they are missing my daily tidbits. In the future I will post to all three places so that no one is being left out.

That time of year is upon us. The air has a crisp chill, the leaves have begun to fall, and coats & umbrellas are at the ready. It is the time of year I want to curl up with some Sam Cooke, an enormous mug of tea, and a big bowl of soup.

Pin ItToday is a rainy New York day. The sky is grey and yet I am gloriously happy. However, that is NOT the way my morning started out at all. I still have the sniffles from this cold I’ve been fighting off all week. I tossed and turned all night worried about a myriad of […]
Pin ItToday was one of those days: 10 hours of work; literally running several blocks, two trains, and up a few flights of stairs to an audition. Then I darted as fast as I could after work to Costco to pick up my contact lenses before they closed. On the train ride home all I […]
The other night I became Cruella Deville. The final minutes of my Clarke Kent job began to tick away and the pangs of hunger hit. So, I went into my faithful “monster bag” for relief. For the first time in forever there was NOTHING. No nuts. No soy milk. No fruit. No chips. Not even any candy that the loving guy at security gives me each morning. NOTHING.

The train stops on the bridge for like 25 minutes. And then came Cruella!

In school, when I was still on the “normal” non artistic track of academia, I was slightly obsessed with Science; Bio and Chem were mesmerizing.

On Saturday morning, I went about my weekly journey to my favorite big box store, The Big “C”, in Brooklyn. This trip was different; however, since my lovely landlord was coming with me on this adventure, for the first time. It is always fun to have company on a trip, but it is especially fun when said company owns a CAR! Dunt dunt dunnnn! Score one for not having to lug all my stuff on the D train. I had my weekly list ready, so there would be no dilly dallying around. Well… not much anyway. Above all, I was most definitely going to stick to my mandatory budget.
Who am I? I am bagged, boxed, heat pressured into snack cakes, the center of many meals and even used as flavoring in beer products… Give up? … I’m rice. Whether you use the instant microwave kind, throw it into a rice cooker, or a good old fashion pot, odds are, you have had several servings of it in the past week alone. Or if you are anything like I use to be it, you eat it several times a day.
