Lemon and Oranges and Lime...Oh My!

Ever just have one of those days where although you had "other" things planned, every thing turned out exactly the way you know they were meant to turn out? W-o-w. Well today that was my day and the only thing I can say is...amazing.

In all my 40 years of living I can honestly say that there have been days, weeks, years even where I have toiled and spun my wheels only with NOTHING (of importance) to show for it. LoL. Sad, but oh so true. Lately, my life has been anything BUT that, and for that, I'm grateful. My hands are to the right plow and not building in vain--who has time for to labor for that which profits nothing? Not me. At least, not any more. :)

Today was incredible, and as I made my way through Fullerton's chaos of today's heartbreaking news, I wound up home right when I was supposed to be. With fifteen minutes to eat, I quickly pulled out the extra-firm tofu, a carrot-broccoli mix a lemon and some evo. Much to my delight, an avocado was not too far away, so this managed to make the cut, as well! Stumbling upon my only bottle of Perrier with Lemon, this lunch was sure to be a citrine-extraordinaire...and delish it was! Not bad for a grocery-purchase costing me a little under $7...and guess what? I've got at least two more meals to get out of it (today's was actually my second)!

Hitting the mark on time, the dishes were a cinch and so out the door went I...a day like this is truly one to not be forgotten. And now I prepare for night-night...as we will be filming all day. I have a feeling tomorrow's meal-preparation may not fare out to today's...but do not be mistaken, tomorrow will be a great day, indeed!

Ingredients:
1/4 of Extra Firm Tofu (Fresh & Easy)
1/4 bag of Brocolli-Carrot Mix
EVO to tasting
Garlic Salt and/or Lemon Pepper
1 Lemon

Until next time...love the person you want to be mad at...you never know what tomorrow holds. My condolences to the Adenhart family and friends who tragically lost their O.C. loved ones with such a bright future ahead of them...truly candles in the wind.

As I sit here writing in a building looking at the intersection where this tragedy occurred, Bon Appetit is not fitting...so tonight I only bid you a Good Night, sweet friends.

Tea for Two...

So yesterday proved to be the perfect day for two friends to depart from O.C. into historic Pasadena. Granted it's only 30 minutes away or so, it was sad to think I rarely visit the home to the Bruins' cleats due to my newly fitted O.C. leash. Although we rarely visit, it was the perfect day, indeed. There was my sweet friend, Francesca, our English Tea treats and rain that sang for the couple of hours we caught up over Peach-Apricot and Ginger Peach teas. Interestingly enough, we realized that the last time we had tea together was at a four-star hotel in Paris, France almost five years ago...yikes! Regardless of where we last had tea, we were having tea yesterday, where every table of friends seemed to be enjoying conversations with sounds of a flowing fountain and elegant piano melodies echoing behind. It seems like only recently I've heard quite a few ladies inquire about the afternoon-teas I've attended, as they've never been. (At least it's not someone as...

A Girl's Best Friend...

Trader Joe's! Next best thing to Diamonds--in my book, anyways. I have to say I was rather disappointed in how quick I fell off the wagon with my gun-ho approach to a new me at 40! Oddly enough, I woke up yesterday morning, took my friend's kids to school, and then off to Tom's #4 we went. For one, it is amazing to me how many Tom's there are. Are they all just one big chain? One thing they have in common--the yummiest, fattening foods one can ever find! You can smell the grease as you are exiting the ramp, readying to turn onto their street (which in this case would be Orangethorpe). I have to say though, I was encouraged as an ex emailed me after reading Sunday's blog forwarding me weight-loss tips via an email article entitled, "A Breakfast Favorite that Blasts Fat?" Wow, so it's come to this. Truly, the man is a gem and is as sincere as he is disciplined. He, in fact, has got to be one of the most disciplined people I know (especially when it come...
