eff you, whole foods.

Dear Whole Foods,
I simultaneously love you and hate you.
Regards,
Holly
I went to Whole Foods after work last night to get a sandwich for dinner. $26 later, I left with a panini, two italian sodas and an ice cream sandwich.
How the fuck does that happen.
Last night’s tweet:

Let me just tell you… it was the best [...]

don’t trip, chocolate chip

it’s so wrong, but so right.

yes, that is a mcdonalds french fry dipped in a mcdonalds sundae. if you’ve tried it, you know i’m speaking truth. if you’re looking at your monitor in disgust and wondering why we’re friends, then you obviously need to scoot on down to your local mcdonalds and give [...]

no lunch for you.

In a concerted effort to save money, Mikee, Nat and I have decided to stop going out for lunch. The agreement is you gotta bring lunch, everyday, from home. If you forget your lunch or just decide you want to eat out, you get a tally mark next to your name on the [...]

Wake and Bake…er, Bacon.

It’s the best way to wake up ever. Ever, in the history of waking up.

WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.

I’ve curbed my addiction to Starbucks a great deal - limiting myself to twice a week. My latest drink of choice (replacing the much missed Iced Honey Latte) is the Starbucks DoubleShot.

Early Shopping Ideas: 11 Day Warning

Whoever gets me these… wow. All I can say is “wow”.
Let’s just say, you’d definitely be on my top 12 on Myspace - not just for a week, but for a definite extended period of time.
Ladies and gentleman, the self-professed “Least Kosher Lollipop in the History of Candy”:

Early Shopping Ideas: 13 Day Warning

Filipinos all over the world are ashamed of me. I’ve lived in my new place going on 3 weeks, and I still don’t have a rice cooker.
::shock, horror, gasp::

Alas, I need a rice cooker. This Cuisinart one is pretty fresh - you can steam fish at the same time.

Early Shopping Ideas: 14 Day Warning

Gift Idea: Dinner at Zenbu Sushi in La Jolla, which includes (but definitely not limited to) a stuffed pumpkin, a stuffed tomato, the Johnny I roll and the Johnny II roll - which means we have to go on a Friday night because that’s the only time Johnny works. And what’s the point on [...]

Dinner Party at Chez Emma

Emma decided to host a little dinner party at her casa, which I love because that means I can cook and not have to clean up after.
Our friendly host for the evening.
