Top Chef Marathon

Posted on by

I wrestled the television back from hubby last night and watched four straight hours of Top Chef — MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

It was the last three episodes of Top Chef Masters with the opening episode of Top Chef Las Vegas. I’m itching to drive all the way to Chicago to try out Rick Bayless’ restaurant, Frontera Grill. Perhaps I’m missing good Mexican food since coming to the Midwest.

I’m going to theorize that I gain weight when I can’t get my food fix vicariously through television. That explains the increasing squishiness.

California, Here I Come

658252_blogJuly/August has really been putting me through the wringer. The Real Life job has been ramping up and I’ve been resorting to junk food to get through my day. I need someone to wag their finger at me and tell me that nachos are not a delicious, nutritious meal to be had twice a week. 🙁

The same thing needs to be said about cookies.

Things are about to become more hectic as I have to start hopping on planes again. California in two weeks  to meet with some “minions”. Mwahahaha…. And then Mid-September, another trip to California for my sister’s wedding festivities. Ugh, and then Boston in November. For Little Sis’ second wedding — spoiled brat. 🙂

I’ve planned a sleepover in Napa at the Napa Inn – voted the most romantic inn in California – for me and Little Sis. I’m supposed to be handling the bridal shower activities and providing her some R & R before the big event, which means I need to be the calm one. Calm blue ocean….Calm blue ocean.

I’m looking forward to Napa. For some reason, I think nachos will be a little harder to come by. Maybe seeing sunshine and having fresh produce nearby will help me detox finally.
