Fasting –> Fast Eating

I won la guerra (trans: the war) against WLW, and I’m back! Let’s rewind to Tuesday morning before Windows Live Writer and I got into a little tiff over publishing this post. I woke up FULL. You know your dinner was a just a little too gratuitous when you wake up full the next morning. [...]

Sarah vs. Windows Live Writer

Not to pull the “my dog ate my homework” card, but Windows Live Writer ate my blogpost! We’ve been fighting all morning. And by fighting, I mean WLW won because it successfully swallowed my two attempts at writing (and re-writing) a weekend recap. Bully. I have a busy day, and I have to run into [...]

W.E.D.

Feliz viernes, people! As much as I love to go out with a bang before my weekend hiatus, I have to make this a quasi-quickie because I just found out la hermana is coming home for the weekend! Why does that necessitate a quickie? (1) I am really excited for her arrival and thus really [...]

Hypocrisy At Its Foodiest

I’ll get to that title in a little. First, I present to you a little more Pleasantville photography, since it got such good feedback last time   If you can’t tell, I love the color red. So much so that, when I was 13, I begged my dad to let me paint my room red. [...]

Crème de la Crème

First, let me start with muchos muchos gracias to all of you for lulling my popcorn-addiction fears. I’ll likely let the overconsumption run its natural course until some scientific finding advises otherwise. I kicked off Tuesday morning—a.k.a. the first day of fall!—with my favorite autumn drank—chai tea, with a little creamer & honey.       I [...]

Adios al Verano…

Playa y sol (*transl: beach & sun) are now out of season Excuses to eat ice cream just dwindled in reason As the heat’s no longer an acceptable justification Can’t claim it’s necessary for the purpose of hydration Each week from now on, will grow a bit more cool Oh, we’ll long for the days [...]

Weekend Discoveries v. 2

Dearest readers, please don’t go into disarray, When on days beginning with “S,” I go M.I.A. At the start of each work week, you’ll get a re-cap And learn what edible discoveries fell into my lap If the rhyming threw you off, that was my way of (1) reiterating my apologies for vanishing every weekend [...]

Muffin Top Morning

Beauty can be seductive. Of this I was reminded during yesterday’s encounter with coffee art. As I creepily creatively gazed into the motions of my morning J, the enchanting swirls beckoned me to take a sooner-than-usual sip. Curious to taste the talent in the midst of its performance, I obliged. Bad call. Coffee—even the most [...]

Sarah’s Own

There once was a man named Bikram Whose practice I tried out on a whim Though I’m feeling quite sore I understand its allure For yoga’s sore beats the bore of the gym And that was my roundabout, limericky way of telling you that Wednesday morning delivered just as much soreness as Tuesday’s. And that [...]

A Yogi Grows In Brooklyn

I never thought I’d be sore from yoga. But, shortly after rolling out of bed yesterday morning, my body was ACHING. Despite the dramatic caps, I’m referring to the good kind of aching that makes you feel accomplished . Nevertheless, soreness is soreness. And I was sore in places I didn’t know could be exercised.
