After a long day of travel and mourning, all we wanted was a no pressure evening of good food, multiple beers, and laughs.
Dad even had a piece of birthday corn. Oh well, guess it wasn’t the birthday he wanted. 😉

Vega Good Giveaway
As promised, I am hosting a Vega Good giveaway!
Last week, I had the great opportunity to learn about this product and other Vega products directly from Brendan Brazier, vegan pro triathalete and author of Thrive.
Whole Food Health Optimizer is made from natural plant-based whole foods. In addition, the great flavor is high in fiber, protein, and essential fatty acids. It really is an all-in-one natural plant based formula that is a perfect way to boost any smoothie, oatmeal, or even an afternoon coffee or tea.
I want to let one of my readers try this great product first hand. I will choose a winner Friday evening.

Joining the Glee Clan…
I’m not sure where I’ve been for the last few years but until tonight, Bo nor I had ever watched even a minute of Glee.
After this week’s constant Twitter chatter regarding Glee and the episode I went on a hunt to find Season 1 Episode 1. I searched Hulu and other websites but couldn’t find the first episode. I didn’t look on Netflix as I assumed the wait time would be at least a few weeks. Luckily, before I headed over to iTunes to download the episode Bo told me he had received the wonderful email news:
Glee: Season 1: Vol. 1: Disc 2
Arriving on or around: Wednesday, Apr 21, 2010

Knowing that this little red envelope would be waiting for me in our mailbox kept me excited and smiling all day. Today was a grueling day of meetings straight from 9am to 5pm. After sitting quietly in meetings all I wanted to do was get home and sing out along to Glee! Even though I have no artistic abilities at all I am an appreciator. And hey, without appreciators there wouldn’t be a reason for the artists, would there?
Bo and I picked up quick and easy salads on our way home from our new apartment. We had to drop off a few things before the big move on Friday. We gave Organique 
a second try after Saturday’s epic fail. We loved the food Saturday but the service was absolutely horrible! Tonight I went with the safe and simple choice- salad. Organique features far more toppings than the average NYC salad place including sauteed onions, balsamic portabello mushrooms, and lentils! Tonight I went with an Asian theme and made a huge salad filled with:
-romaine
-lentils
-portabello mushrooms
-sauteed onions
-carrots
-edamame
-organic ginger soy dressing
The flavors were perfect and EXACTLY what I was craving. I love that by mixing a new dressing with everyday salad ingredients you can give the vegetables a whole new flavor. Okay, that was a bit obvious, but you know what I mean. Hopefully, after these few stressful weeks are done I can get back to cooking healthy meals on Sunday so we don’t have to pick up takeout on weeknights.
I’m cutting this one short to head over to the sofa and catch the first episode of Glee. Here’s to hoping Bo likes it too!
