I love grocery shopping. All shopping, really, but especially grocery shopping. Some girls splurge on expensive handbags while I see handbags as a vehicle for shuttling loads of groceries from the car to the kitchen. I love grocery shopping so much that I, like many other sample-seeking folks, am willing to pay $115.18 just to … Continue reading
So far, the menu this week has been 50/50 in terms of success. On Sunday night I attempted to broil a top sirloin steak. I overcooked it; I now know it would’ve been done perfectly in six minutes (when I originally removed it from the oven.) I second-guessed myself and put it back in for … Continue reading
‘less you forget…” – Jim Gaffigan, comedian Before I proceed, please, do yourself a favor and have a laugh: On Jesus. For a brief moment, I forgot it was Friday and I ate meat. It was an innocent mistake, and I only had 3 bites – I swear! Normally I grab a Greek yogurt for … Continue reading
The Lenten Season is upon us! I try my best to choose something to give up every year that is a ‘sacrifice.’ I use the word sacrifice losely because it seems a little presumptuous to assert that giving up chocolate or Starbucks is a sacrifice, particularly when there are people all over the world who … Continue reading
Aloha, I’ve missed you. Yes, you. I am taking a risk here by blogging in broad daylight; I am pretty sure this has never happened before. I am normally cloaked by darkness as I type. It’s like that protected feeling you get when you sneak food in the middle of the night – maybe since … Continue reading
My hopes of making spaghetti squash with feta and tomatoes were squashed by, well, another squash. See, the commissary likes to do this tricky thing where they mis-label fruits and vegetables so people like me come home with a bunch of surprises. I’d say roughly 67.8% of the time, meals in the Johnson house are … Continue reading
I regret that it’s been a whole week since I’ve made time for any blog action. Well, that’s not entirely true. My nose has been stuck reading a lot of blogs actually; I just haven’t contributed to my own. I have however, been contributing to society. This week has been all about getting into the … Continue reading
Toes toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the word, cold beer in my hand. In the days since I last checked in with the world, Daniel and I had a Jimmy Buffet/Zac Brown tribute, several Jeep excursions, a whole macoroni casserole, a random assortment of mildly un-nutritious foods (except … Continue reading
Holy soreness. After tough workouts we often experience something called DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness.) DOMS is the hurt-so-good phenomenon your muscles feel about 24-48 hours post-strenuous exercise – especially weight bearing exercises. Well I can tell you there is nothing delayed about the soreness I am currently enduring. Today I worked out with an … Continue reading
I was beginning to worry we may not have one, but today we found the floor! It feels so good to walk through the house without tripping over cardboard boxes and plastic bins. We filled 20 Hefty black bags with junk. TWENTY. Sorry, taxpayers, for paying to ship all that stuff here. We’re hoping to … Continue reading
