Day 75

What's that?  Another 9 a.m. meeting?  And more horrible traffic?  Well sign me up!

 I crossed in to a whole new threshold of work insanity, when I was doing a status report for my first meeting while sitting at red lights.  Don't worry, I had the car in park and the emergency break on, and I wasn't going anywhere.  (Thanks, Route 50 accidents/construction!)
This is nuts.
I literally walked right in to my 9 a.m., so I didn't have time to stop and get some water.  Boo.  I was hungry too, and I almost just helped myself to some of coworker Jason's Special K bar.  But that would have been rude.  Although really, what would he have done?  Made a scene during the meeting?  After the meeting, I went back to my office and had three tiny tangerines and a cup of water.  Total: 0 points
The Precious.  You will be mine.
Lunch was a cup of veggie soup from Jason's Deli (not owned by Coworker Jason with the Special K bar), half of a ham sammich, and half of a giant apple.  Plus three cups of water.  Total: 9 points

 Snacky time was the other half of the apple, six pretzel rods, and twelve chocolate chips.  Total: 5 points.

 Dinner was 3 and a half ounces of dragon tuna sushi rolls, a cup of tomatoes with an ounce and a half of feta cheese, and two teaspoons of healthy oil.  Plus three cups of water.  Dessert was a cup of milk and a pumpkin muffin.  Total: 11 points


Then the corn flakes binge happened.  Again.  Seriously, Alyssa!  Throw damn the box away! Total: 5 shameful points, and no gold medals
Maybe I only like it because of Michael Phelps?

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

The Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape .   Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip.  This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes  we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher:  This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa:  I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...

The Olympic Outfits of Johnny Weir, rated

The Verner girls are back, 4 years later, to discuss the outfits of Johnny Weir. (And the crowd goes wild!) Since writing about his Sochi wardrobe , it has been one of my top posts of all time. Other highly rated posts include a post about the palaces of Hawaii , how to pack for vacation , a Pampered Chef cheesy pasta recipe , and Meghan Markle tiara predictions . You guys are an eclectic group. Speaking of eclectic, let's talk about Johnny's overall look. First, let me start off by saying that yes, I know that Johnny looks like a cross between the Hunger Games, Pee Wee Herman, and Colonel Sanders. So obviously, I've seen that one post on Twitter about it. And that meme on Facebook. And that thread on Reddit. Johnny is not one for subtlety. One year he said he was going to go with a "not-so-literal" interpretation for his Kentucky Derby hat, and he then literally wore a crown of roses and a mint julep on his head. Basically, Johnny would not know subtl...
