Everyone has favorite foods, or foods that they have an irrational fear/loathing of. I was pondering the state of my food addictions today.

1. Sour Punch Straws. I haven't eaten these in months (surprisingly) but I will fully and completely confess to being addicted to these candies hard core. I have eaten them before until there are blisters on my ( Read more... )

A new series that is coming on TLC on Sunday nights is the show "I can Make you thin" with Paul McKenna. (www.mckenna.com  is his website, if you are interested in perusing what he has to say)

Aside from the fact that TV show seems to be marketed at people who are VERY S...L...O...W...., he does have some good things to say. (That doesn't mean that ( Read more... )

Kale is tasty, Kale is sweet
Kale is really good to eat
Best of all, Kale is green
and healthier than canned green beans!

We had some yummy-licious steamed kale last night with Lime Vinaigrette (http://www.newmansown.com/product_detail.cfm?cat_id=7&prod_id=75). I just thought I would share with everyone.

I've been accepted into the UGA graduate school to complete a Master's degree in Nutrition.

Such Excitement! 

I still haven't heard back from the nutrition professor that I e-mailed. =(

I've narrowed my choices down to just nutrition and ecology, I think. Although now that Phi is getting paid again (stupid university pay schedule) I suppose I should call and find out about the biology gre so I can look into vet school. I only have this month to get that ( Read more... )

I just e-mailed my first professor (In the nutrition program) to ask some questions about grad school and see if she will have room in her lab next year. I'm so nervous! I keep checking my e-mail every 10 minutes waiting for a reply. Ahhhhh!!!!!!

How am I going to handle this for the next 10 months??!!

I've got a four day week this week (yay!) followed by a 4 day weekend that will be filled with Dragon Con! Unless I get sick first. (Two of my coworkers just came down with cold/flu-like things over the weekend) I need to go stock up on some Wellness Formula  (bleh!) and Airborne so that I won't get sick before, during, or after dragon con. That ( Read more... )

This has really been bugging me lately, because a bunch of both omnivores and vegetarians/vegans don't seem to understand what "meat" is. Gah! even Wikipedia has it wrong! I was going to link to them to back me up, but they are full of it as well. (Here's the article, just in case you want to see what they have to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ( Read more... )

So the list of possible choices for grad school has been evolving, leaving me even more confused. I'll tackle them one at a time then...

Animal Nutrition: The PhD program is probably going to be very hard to get into without a Masters. Particularly since on their website they say explicitly that preference will be given to applicants with an MS. ( Read more... )

I've been looking at my options for returning to school to get either an MS, a PhD or a DVM. Since I'm pretty sure I don't want to go live in another city or state all by my lonesome, it appears that UGA will be my school of choice ( Read more... )
