Cinnamon rolls kill me.
That smell in the mall… Pavlovian response.
It’s been years since I’ve gotten one, but walking past a certain cinnamon roll chain had me craving a cinnamon roll. I swear they put crack in those things.
In my shipment from About Time, I received a few proteins to sample. I decided it was the perfect opportunity for a little mug cake experiment! Mug cakes may seem normal to many of you… but to the “normal” world I think it qualified as strange. But good. 😉

This is what happens when you can’t sleep on a plane.
Sadly, no mile high club. Vegas is so conservative…
Today we’re in Greece, but as I write this I’m on the first leg of our trip. We caught the first flight out to JFK (read: way too early). We didn’t really go to sleep and I am finding it impossible to sleep on the plane… so please excuse any typos, bad jokes, and general rambling. Basically proceed as usual.
Before we left I had the house cleaned and thought it the perfect time to take pictures of our new digs in San Diego. We lucked out with the space – there’s a lot of it. That’s hard to come by in our neighborhood! We live in a flat that’s part of a 4-unit building. Our land lady goddess lives above us, and two other couples are below us. It’s like a little Melrose Place (for those of you old enough to remember that show).
The first tour stop is the living room, our long hallway, and the bird room.

Did you ever look forward to gas station snacks as a kid?
Please tell me I wasn’t the only one with trashy taste as a child.
These days I dread road trip food – especially after my recent cross-country drive. However, when I was a kid I loved stopping at the QT for a giant slushie. It’s not that I don’t like a slushie as an adult, but I try to avoid the onslaught of chemicals.
When I received a box full of all natural supplements from About Time, I was immediately drawn to their new ProHydrate Protein Water. It screamed #strangebutgood protein slushie!

There are some meals you never forget.
And not just because you ave to take out a second mortgage to pay for them.
On our last night in Vegas we had the best meal. Nobu in Caesar’s Palace. It blows my mind that food so good exists inside a casino/hotel.

I realize this is supposed to stay in Vegas.
And one or two incriminating pics definitely will…
Lucie, Vegas, and I had such an amazing time in Sin City sinning celebrating Lucie’s birthday. I can’t help but to share some of it. I think these pics (mostly) speak for themselves.
Blogger-appropriate road snacks.

3 bloggers can get a little strange.
Meghan’s husband can attest to this.
Lucie AND Meghan are in town (and Meghan’s husband who shall not be named or pictured). We’ve been touring San Diego and causing general shenanigans.
Afternoon beers, anyone?
Culture Brewery
We’ve also been cooking. All of us in the kitchen is a strange but good heaven.
(Vegas reminded me where the fire extinguisher was.) …
Two bloggers go food shopping…
I can’t even narrow down the punchlines.
Lucie and I had a food shopping adventure to the Pacific Beach Farmer’s Market and then to Whole Foods. We were actually quite well-behaved! Even between the two of us we spent less than $100* in Whole Paycheck Foods.
*That’s unheard of for me – just ask Vegas.

Have you ever tried to explain a sport to someone?
When you say it out loud, it sounds so ridiculous.
Like baseball. You hit a ball with a stick and run around a diamond. If you can make it to one of the white squares before they can throw the ball at you, you’re safe.
There there’s the matter of explaining foul balls (that’s what she said), strikes, walks, home runs, stealing… it all happened this weekend when Vegas and I took Lucie to the Padres game.
(For those who don’t know already, Lucie is my friend from Switzerland. She writes a blog and she’s awesome. I visited/met her last year in Switzerland.)
Lucie’s tri-tip sandwich (I stole her pic – she’s a better photog.)
