Hook, Line and Sinker.Category: eating in
Went shopping with a friend recently (you know who you are and I know you are reading, heheh) and somehow this ended up in both of our groceries...
All I can say is. OH. MY. This thing is DELICIOUS! Gulped it down in two days flat. Needless to say, I won't be buying it any more because if I did I won't fit through my flat door in approximately a week or maybe less, who knows...

Soy milk + Cinnamony oatmealish stuff* = Heaven
I drink close to 2 gallons of milk every week to get the requisite amount of calcium, protein and fat-soluble vitamins in my diet. I am not lactose-intolerant or overly convinced about the apparent ill-effects of milk - so however much I like this soymilk, getting hooked to a non-dairy product like this is a bit of a concern.
This particular brand of soymilk is equivalent to 3% milk. However, the calcium in it is supplemented calcium carbonate - not the best bioavailable form of calcium. The protein in it is a complete protein but I am not sure how it stacks up in comparison to the animal-sourced protein from milk - I am guessing not very well.

- I think some Kashi stuff meets the criteria. Pity, I hate the sugar in cereal enough to avoid all cereal. But really, if you eat cinnamony cereal, you need to try the combo. I think they would go smashingly well together!

I've been making soy chais. F Spot and their $5 pricetag! I really don't think I'd ever pour this stuff over cereal, however. I'm not so much of a non-dairy nut that I can't enjoy a little lowfat milk.

But it already has sugar - organic cane sugar and vanilla... Maybe you haven't tried this brand? I can almost swear they put some addictive drug in it because it made me walk all the way to the grocery store directly from work in the horrible muddly slush - before I could shake its influence off and double back home.
If you saw someone bundled up in a snowcoat swearing at all the puddles running about in circles around Delaware and Elmwood today evening, it was me. And trying to avoid buying another box of the above was the primary reason for the craziness.

I WANT to like soymilk, but the only way I've been able to enjoy it is with thoroughly unhealthy amounts of sugar added to it.

Best Brussel Sprouts Evah!Category: eating in
This is probably the fastest easiest recipe I have ever made and it was right there on top in terms of how mouth-wateringly tasty it was!
Total cooking time is around 6-7 minutes.
1. Heat some peanut oil in a pan. Meanwhile wash and chop a good amount of garlic into fine pieces.
2. Saute chopped garlic till it is light brown. Meanwhile wash and chop Brussel Sprouts into lengthwise quarters.
3. Add chopped Brussel Sprouts, a dash of salt and pepper powder.
4. Saute on medium-high heat till Brussel Sprouts are lightly caramelized (~3 min).
5. Eat immediately and float away into gastronomical heaven!

awesome, I just picked some Brussels Sprouts yesterday, I usually just steam them, but this sounds like fun.

Formal Button-Down Silk/Satin ShirtCategory: office
Where can I buy one of these??
Have you seen this kind of a formal satin/silk button-down no-crazy-ruffle-frill-attachments shirt anywhere? If yes, please rack your brains - and post a clue! All the satin/silk shirts I have seen seem to have some crazy tailoring quirk. I am looking for a plain button-down one in a preferably non-candy muted colour.

Ann Taylor does sell one of those and it's for $90 in the "Clearance" section.
Out of my range. Make that, WAY out of my range. :)

I have a couple like that, from Ann Taylor. And they do have a petites section- may be worth taking a look. They usuall have pretty good stuff on the sale/clearance racks, too.

Heheh - this comment brought a hearty laugh. :)
I now have a blazer and trousers for the defense and almost have a shirt. I just saw this woman online and it reminded me of how well my advisor in Rochester always dresses - then I wondered if I could ever wear this kind of a shirt - because whatever I do, I end up getting dark non-feminine shirts. I am just not enough of a "girly girl" and probably will never be.

I've been pondering your sartorial concerns and have even asked several equally tiny non-plinys where they shop. Our next adventure will include several stops at stores that should have clothes that are both appropriate for dissertation defenses and properly sized. :-) Maybe they'll even have a satiny shirt like this.

these were fabulous to watch and listen to. My ears love classical music and as much as I don't care to watch people dance, the period pieces of dress and dance style was way too much fun to not love. Great find!
