What the heck?

One of my goals for this year was to try different foods, since I'm a really picky eater. (Although not as bad as the vegetarian who doesn't eat vegetables.) I really haven't done too well with this except for falling in love with falafel. When I was grocery shopping the other day, the yogurt section caught my eye. I've always wanted to like yogurt, but the last time I tried it (years ago), I was not a fan. But those commercials for flavors like strawberry cheesecake drew me in, so I bought a few cartons.

Tonight I tried the Key Lime Pie flavor and was in love. As I basked in the happiness of finding a great new food, I glanced at the ingredients label. Kosher gelatin? Seriously? How is yogurt not vegetarian???? I was so disgusted I couldn't even finish the carton. I looked online and found that's a common ingredient now because if you use gelatin, it's easier to make yogurt fat free. Apparently there's some kinds of vegetarian yogurt that I'm hoping I can get at Whole Foods. But I'm outraged. And I can't stop thinking, seriously? I'm so not happy about this.

hey -- you probably don't have to go to a specialty store like whole foods. Stonyfield Farm is a big organic brand that you can generally find at Jewel or Dominick's. :)

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
