blogettes! i feel like everything in my life has been an outage lately. currently i’m typing this with the lack of internet access. hmph. so with that being said only the good lord knows when you’ll be seeing this baby.
actually this may never go up.
what if we never get internet back..
…then i’ll never be able to write my research paper that is due on tuesday.
hmmm…
i think this post will be mainly ramble-age. sometimes i think just rambling is the best way to post.
..or the easiest?
anyways this storm has been the least of the things going on right now! i want to get back on the bloggin bandwagon but i think that my frequenter posts will be able to come back during s to the pring break ;)
how are you guys?! i’ve missed you :) have i said that already?
oh! wanna see what i’ve been eating lately? i bet you do.
i won’t lie that i’ve been insanely slightly addicted to my variety pack of optimum nutrition whey protein powder lately.
we’ve got strawberry banana overnight cookie dough oats, rocky road protein ice cream, french vanilla protein icing on top of pumpkin oatie-wheat bran oats.
i’ve probably thought of every excuse under the sun to use protein powder..
cookies n cream protein icing on top of 1/4c bob’s red mill oatbran, 1/4c wheat bran, 1/4c liquid egg whites, 1/2c canned pumpkin, cin+stiv-nunaturals vanilla droppies
2 things:
1. bob’s red mill oat bran? gotta say i don’t love it. trader joes toasted oat bran is so much better
2. i don’t think i can imagine the day when i have no more nunaturals vanilla droppers left. i love them more then anything in the world.
addiction much? maybe.
guys i took this kick @$$ spin class this morning. but i was such a spin snob. like the ultimate spin snob. but i have good reason! there was a group of 3-4 women who talked the entire time. like come on. how freakin annoying is that! i kept giving them the stink eye hard core but like if you can talk during class well then i think you need to be working harder! or atleast go outside.
am i wrong?
even if i am what’s done is done. ;)
i feel like i haven’t shown you the fair share of cottage cheese that’s been consumed either
1/2c cottage cheese+cinful cinnamon, 1.5c wheat crispie puffs (great culinary term), 1/2c trader joes frozen pineapple, & 1tbsp tjs creamy almond buttz
sarah would be so proud. that was totally inspired by her
honey wheat arnolds thin+cottagecheese&cin+1/3c canned pumpkin = party in my mouth.
party in mouth also = my new love affair with combining curry powder+chili powder+cumin on steamed veggiez with braggs overdosage.
still & sadly with all the craziness the only love affairs i’ve been having have involved food
the one bonus of power outages?
no electricity = sushi outage.
rando sushi feast. yum. brown rice veggie roll, seaweed salad, frozen edamame & steamed veggies with some laughing cow & garlic mooostard spreading.
this is how i eat my sushi. in case you were wondering.
..i put a hunk of wasabi on top of the roll, a pile of seaweed salad on top of that and then shove the entire thing in my mouth. it just doesn’t get any better then that
besides the food and crazedness i’ve still managed to squeeze in some pretty good workouts! i finally feel like i had full blast energy back this morning and i’m not sure if it has to do with the hour of sleep we lost, or the fact that i had a dream last night that we had a giant bloggie meetup and a few of you guys were there to join.
<---creepstat.

by the way can you tell i don’t speak spanish?
oh an my car? i don’t wanna talk about it.
well i’ve got to get some studying done then i’m off to pray cablevision blesses our neighborhood with internet. until then i’ll be showering, studying, & sitting in front of my computer screen wishing i was reading blogs.
oh yeah and i’ll probably be eating somewhere in between all of that..
lots of love your way :)

hot damn baybay you make me glad I invented that protein icing recipe -- you make it look so 'gasmic!
p.s. your ramblage makes me happy.
p.p.s no internet/television = putting my disney princess coloring book to good use.
oh my gahhhhhh i LOVE SUSHI! im a spicy tuna kina girl.
i MTN BIKED this weekend for the first time-amazingness!
1. I loveeeeee sushi! I love anything spicy with veggies and brown rice!
2. Working, working, working... blah! But I just applied for a job in Europe, that's pretty sweet:)
3. I sailed for ten months without phone, internet, or TV... honestly, I would love to do it again!
I swear the whole blog world is all about sushi this weekend! I had sushi on Sat and was so sad that they have no brown rice.I realized that I usually order cooked maki like snowcrab or crab or smoked salmon unless its spicy tuna, a classic fav!
Hi Julie! I'm not sure if I've commented on your blog before, but I've been reading for awhile. So, here I am, de-creeping myself.
That looks like a killa leg workout!
Here's my internet story: When I first moved into my current apartment, we didn't have internet for oh, about a month! I read approximately 30 books. It was a dark, dark time in my life.
Have a fantastic Sunday!
STOP being such a TEASE with your UNNECESSARY step-by-step description of your brilliant method of sushi consumption. sorry, that was mean. it wasn't unnecessary. i'm just being a diva because i'm cranky that i haven't had sush in way too long. more so, that you've not introduced me to your wondrous long island sushi joint. we'll have to fix that.
HOLLA at that cottage cheese bowl. how INCREDIBLE! i like where your head was at with the pineapple--might plagiarize that one. what are those wheat crispy puffs? they look like kashi. but puffier. i want them.
i didnt have an outage in bklyn--but i decided to pretend i did and order in every single night this weekend. oh, and bake. a lot.
Please tell me I was able to make the bloggie meet up. Ick to the internet outage! Hope you're still sane by the time it comes back!
For the record, yes I do still have PB2. I'm rationing it until the PB2 famine is over. Can't wait to catch up!
DUDE! I am behind with your posts. No internet = no bueno. Why are you having storms? Mother Nature needs to stop throwing hissy fits.
K, I have questions. What was that link you tweeted for the Optimum whey? I want to know all about spin classes too- how hard are they for nOObies? (ie, ME! LOL) Also paying close attention to your workout now that I am a gym member. Woohoo!!!!!!!
Sushi: I have only had it once (I KNOOOOW!) and it was a macrobiotic one I was sent to review. Check them out- should sell them in WF. So freaking amazing.
This weekend: Joined a GYM! YEEEHA! So excited.
No internet: I would go crazy. Seriously. I moved into my apartment in August and had 3 weeks with no phone, internet or TV. Or cellphone reception. So lonely :'( I watched Scrubs DVDs and memorised lots of Dr Cox's rants. Which I then used everytime I called my internet provider to find out why it wasn't running yet.
i fear the day i run out of my precious stevia drops...they are the elixir of life, whatever shall i do?!?
hmmm no technology can be a blessing and a curse...I think its nice to take a break BUT for too long, I think crying would take place, I would probably have numerous dance parties, get fat from baking so many goodies and/or karayoke?!
TJ toasted oatbran is PHENOM thats the kind I have and loveee it! Bobs red mills flaxmeal is the shizzzz as is their wheat bran tho and its about 1.99 for a bag!! oatbran though, I stick to TJs faaashoooo
hope you are having a fab sunday girl!!!
not only do i hate peeps that talk during class (which is totes weird? why even do a class...but i digress), but i also hate peeps who talk on the phone on the elliptical, etc. im not even passive aggressive about it anymore either, i blatantly ask them to get off the phone. i dont care that i get the evil eye after, or that they talk shit about me to the person on the line - its rude and i am at the gym to relieve my stress, so the LAST thing i want to hear about is someone else's dumbass convo bitching about this that and the other...
vent over. hope normal weather returns soon :(
I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH. Never let your internet go down again!!!! I forbid it.
I love veggie sushi--especially with avocado. I keep it simple with just soy sauce & wasabi.
Hope you get your power back! We lost ours last summer for three days in the middle of a heat wave. No bueno.
Answers!
1. I usually just get veggie sushi. None too exciting. Maybs if I were more carnivorous, I would enjoy it more.
2. This weekend I soaked up the last of my breakie poo. Tearsssss
3. Besides weeping profusely? I would drag my laptop to my homie's house and move in with her. I wouldn't even ask if it was okay.
Oh UGH!!! I feel bad, that really really sucks. When our electricity when out a couple years ago during that BAD hurricane, I was miserable. The worst thing was knowing that all my food was going bad :( We just lit candles and played games. Sushi is a nice perk! I love sushi, of all kinds, but my favorite is the spicy tuna. Yum. I like mine with a bit of wasabi and a lot of soy sauce!
LOVE the Trader Joe's oat bran too. I am addicted, very much so.
I hope the electricity comes back on soon! Or...maybe not? It's a good excuse for your paper not being finished!
Sorry you are feeling like everything is "outage!" Especially the electricity--YIKES! Hooray for sushi though!
<3 jess
xoxo
P.S I think you're right in the spin class sitch!
Everyone I know who lives in the sound is out of power. I am hoping you get it back soon :)
sushi..i have not had any in like 4 yrs. PRegnant ladies arent supposed to eat it, then I went from a fish-eating vegetarian to vegan and now i crave it but have no idea where to get good sushi in Phoenix and am cheap and dont want to be adventurous LOL so i have been without and am in dire neeed.
The Smores coffee that i saw you and K's good eats talking bout on Buzz...OMG GIRL I BOught it and it rocks my world. Blogging bout it tomorrow!
xoxo
hope your power comes on soon...or i'm guessing it did bc your post published?
anyway, don't worry about not blogging..school def comes first! i took a loooong break until spring break, and now that sb is over, who knows how often i'll be posting.
hang in there girlie!
If the power has to be out, at least you got some awesome sushi out of it! I like mine drowning in soy sauce. And no low-sodium junk for me, bring on the salt!! Hmmm, no TV or internet...I might be forced to do homework on time...
Have a great Monday love!
Gahh I hope you eventually got internet back, hence the ability to post this ;)
1. I love sushi with brown rice and lots of miso soup!
2. Lots of driving + time with the fam
3. Besides cry? Yeah, I'd actually probably be a lot more productive!
I love sushi, specifically sashimi. Salmon is my fav.
If I had no internet or tv I would manage fine. I'd spend a lot of time outside, working on the farm and in my garden, I'd cook even more and probably lean to do some canning. I'd get more books read and I think I'd be ok.
Ok I totally agree that if you can talk through a spin class you aren't working hard enough. I usually barely breathe...
LOVE me some sush. I usually stick to some sort of tuna roll or sashimi. Sometimes I think the rice just gets in the way of what I really want...raw fish covered in soy sauce. Ew that sounds really gross now that I think about it.
Hey girl! I have never had braggs but every time I see you use it, especially when I spy a brussels sprout in the picture mmmmm, I think I need to run out and get some, stat!
Someone up there mentioned this PB2 famine...when will it endddd?!?!?!
I used to have no TV and no internet, and actually I must say I was more active. I'd crank up the tunes and dance, clean, do some situps before bed. I think maybe I was a little more connected to real life peeps via phone calls too.
oooooooooooooooh lovely. you have been a busy bee. digging all the protein powdah creations! no internet? wouldnt we die?
Oh no hope your electric is back! I was watchin Long Island on the news and saw the rivers of water! Hmm favorite sushi is sweet potato rolls and salmon avocado rolls. This weekend was margaritas in the rain!
I dotn like sushi- I EFFIN LOVE IT! I cant get enough of it. There will never be a day when i DONT want sushi. I love it so much i learned to make it!
I swam thru the tsunami in queens with Mari and missy.
well... the blackout of 2004 was horrid! It was like 100 degrees outside. had it been nicer outside i would have read some books. crocheted a bit or even just hit up a neighbor for some Spades... but we had no water, no elec and i was in panic mode. :-P
At least one of us gets spring break sometime in the near future. And guess what. It's not me.
The rain this weekend has been so intense. Luckily no outage here. I don't know how you coped.
Love the copiousness of the cottage cheese. Never too much. Ever.
All of the affairs in my life are with food right now as well. Sad? Possibly. But delicious? Definitely.
Hey there! I hope you get internet back in time to work on your paper :) What can I say, I'm a teacher! I would have no idea what to do with myself if I had no internet, but if I had no TV, I would play on the internet, haha. Actually, I would probably head down to the beach.
As for sushi, I am weird. I do not like seaweed, so if I order it I need to be at a place that has soy paper to use in place of the seaweed paper. If you have ever had a piece of seaweed paper caught in your throat, you would probably not like the taste ever again either.
mmm i love sushi! i love yellowtail and spicy tuna!
If my Internet goes down, I freak out. Not even kidding.
But this past weekend I took a mini-break to go holidaying to a resort for some hiking, and I didn't go near a computer EVEN ONCE. It was so liberating :)
I love any kind of sushi that does NOT include tempura or mayo. Hate those things.
Sometimes rambling is the way to go :) I've seen sushi on a ton of blogs lately and I seriously want some now! I like spicy shrimp rolls the best, with miso soup. And I've been up to the same things as always, running, eating, therapy, homework. Except this week is spring break so I'm hooommmmmeee! Yay. Happy Tuesday :)
Brown rice or cucumber wrapped sushi, YUM! I would read more if I didn't have Internet or TV, may be a good thing every once in a while.
We lost power in LI this weekend too! I woke up terrified, in pitch blackness, convinced that In Cold Blood was about to be reenacted in our house. GAH.
Thanks for the info re: oat bran... I'll be TJing it up!
I love sushi and sashimi! I like to get a combo, so I can eat as much as possible. Ari & I figured out that ordering "sushi & sashimi for 2" is more than enough food for both of us, cheaper in the long run (you get soup/salad too) and there's enough leftover for a poor working girl's lunchi.
(YES play date soon, please!)
