Love: Trader Joe's Tomato Basil Hummus

I was too lazy to take a picture

I've been eating a lot of this lately with pita bread.  I'm still not sick of it yet.

Read my lips

My sister and I buy a lot of lip balms, chapsticks, and lip glosses.  We have a few expensive go-to ones from department store counters, but most are cheapie drugstore ones.  We don't purposely buy large quantities of lip products, we just lose them frequently.  I don't think I've ever finished a tube of anything, I always manage to lose them before the last drop.

Anyway, my requirements for lip stuff are:

• can't be sticky, I hate when my hair gets stuck on my lips
• nice tasting, none of that pina colada, chocolate, yuck flavors please!
• comes in a tube, I don't like dipping my fingers into pots of lip stuff, reminds me of petri dishes.

So the Nivea lip balm was on sale for $0.99 last week and we happen to have a BOGO free coupon. So yeah, I'm trying out this $0.50 beauty this week:

Weekday Grub: (x2) Steak and Spaghetti with turkey meatballs

I was stressed out with homework and all on Thursday and Friday so R made dinner.

Steak is our default dinner choice. It's especially fun using our (non) paninni grill.  And we love grill marks.  We weren't totally carnivorous, we had green beans too.

Friday's dinner was spaghetti with turkey meatballs.  I've always wanted to try out ground turkey, so  here was our chance.  I thought it'd taste the same as ground beef, but I think I tasted a difference.  The turkey was a bit more lean.  We threw in a leftover zucchini too.  Oh, and we didn't have bread, so R made garlic bagels.

Weekday Grub: Vermicelli Noodles

 

I almost forgot to take a picture.  It's clear vermicelli noodles with moqua (I think?) and chicken.

Closet Office

I don't have any before pics, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that memorable for those who have seen my living room closet. You'll just have to believe when I say it was bad.  

Here's the inspiration:

This is what we have so far:

 I forgot to take a picture of the whole closet area.  I'll do that when the whole closet is done.  The color is an oopsie-color mint frappe that I bought at Home Depot for $2.00

Cookin' with Coolio

So I emailed my photographer today.  He tells me that he needs another 1-2 weeks.  Me = not very happy. Anyway, I saw a recipe for "Kung Fu Chicken" on my Google Reader this morning and decide to take a looksee.  It's a recipe from this cookbook.

Is it wrong to want this?  I just want to flip through the pages, I promise.

Weekday Grub: Ling Ling's potstickers - I'm lazy.

 

I was so lazy, I didn't even take this pic

I was eating dinner and watching Two and a Half Men.  Best quote (or at least how I remember it): "You're lucky you're not a woman.  It's like a vintage car, a lot of maintenance and once a month, you have to drop an oil pan underneath it."
