Happy Hippie Granola | My Rubberbandball

https://boxingoctopus.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/happy-hippie-granola

About the boxing octopus. That is not the name I would give it. I would call it, “OMG I JUST SAW JESUS granola,” it’s that good. Or maybe, “300 calories for half a cup ain’t so bad, is it? Since I decided to take the morning to myself rather than reading, writing, or grading (or watching Friday Night Lights, boo! I decided to try out this recipe with adaptations that suit my tastes and pantry. 3 c old-fashioned rolled oats. 3/4 c shredded coconut. 1 c sliced almonds. 2 T toasted wheat germ. 2 T flax seeds.

Training Wheels: May 2007

http://yourownpersonaltrainer.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Your body is a temple, right? So if you have a temple do you cram it full of a bunch of funky stuff? Do you let it get run down, and trashy? I am fairly certain that King Tut did not fill his crib with Fritos and hollandaise sauce. Your body is something that deserves respect because in the end - it's just you and that bag of bones you've been carting around for years. Here is the exact email that I received:. Here's a rundown for today:. Snack - small bag of fritos. I can't beli...

Training Wheels: April 2007

http://yourownpersonaltrainer.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 30, 2007. Friday night I was getting in my late-night workout at a midtown-ish location. The gym was sparsely occupied with maybe 10 guys in the whole (huge) facility. Nothing too distracting, just the regular crowd of meatheads with a few hard-working but sadly inefficient guys. As per my M.O. I got down to it and hit the weights hard. Hmm What's he looking at? Is he looking at me because he wants the 55# dumbbells? Looking back on this it actually all happened really quickly. I just w...

Pizza cups | My Rubberbandball

https://boxingoctopus.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/pizza-cups

About the boxing octopus. Enter the pizza cup. I had seen a recipe for them in Everyday Food. And again a few days later on The Kitchn. I decided to follow their lead (if not their recipes, except for cook times) and give pizza cups a whack. I started with Pioneer Woman’s pizza crust. For the sauce, I took a 28-ounce can of peeled whole tomatoes, a small can of tomato paste, and dumped them into a pot with a generous shake of Ana’s Herbs. Bake at 450 for 12 minutes and let cool for a few minutes. Ser...

Book Notes: Delicious! by Ruth Reichl | My Rubberbandball

https://boxingoctopus.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/book-notes-delicious-by-ruth-reich

About the boxing octopus. Earlier this year, I swore to read a book a week over the course of 2014. A plan that failed spectacularly because, duh, I’m a slow reader who picks impossibly long books that couldn’t be finished inside of a week absent any semblance of a life or need for sleep. That said, I have read a LOT of books over the summer, including This Is Where I Leave You. LOVE — can’t wait for the movie! LOVE), The Leftovers. ALSO LOVE), the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. Let’s start wi...

One Week In (reflections on Whole 30 and stuff) | My Rubberbandball

https://boxingoctopus.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/one-week-in-reflections-on-whole-30-and-stuff

About the boxing octopus. One Week In (reflections on Whole 30 and stuff). I don’t believe in detoxing from sugar. While I think that it’s possible to consume too much of it with deleterious effects on your body, I think that “detoxing” suggests dependency and addiction. There’s also a mystical component to it that classifies food in the same category as a toxin, and I just don’t subscribe to that line of thinking. I do believe in balance and mindfulness. In the afternoons. Ice cream bars. So, in short, ...

Another Side of Something: May 2008

http://bryskie.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Another Side of Something. There's really no such thing as self-discovery. Saturday, May 31, 2008. Dudes are weird, and a little Kaskade. I know, i'm slacking on the posts these days. Things are a bit busy at the moment, and while I have many thoughts and experiences, I rarely find myself with the time or energy to blog them out in a meaningful way. I'll sum up my experiences as of late by simply saying "dudes are weird". Moving on.I’m attending Kaskade’s. New York City album release party at Mansion.

Training Wheels: July 2007

http://yourownpersonaltrainer.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 26, 2007. A Room Full of Sweaty Boys. What is going on here? It's my new schedule and it's my new geographic limitations (enhanced by the lack of NYSC in Brooklyn (none in Williamsburg - wtf? Waking up at 6 every morning, arriving home at 5, eating, and THEN heading to the gym as peak hours loom. I hate it. Now I see why so many "working" people are chunkified. So how did I fix it? I am living for the weekends these days - making the most of the NYC summers before the school year is upon m...
