Check out my progress on Broken and Repaired
Right now I am luxuriating in the ability to blog to you tonight from the comfort of my own apartment–my laptop has returned home, with a non-flickering screen!
Just as I was celebrating my computer’s homecoming, this happened as I exited the bus this evening:
Since when does a wooden-soled shoe snap in two?! Sadly, I think these heels are irreparable, so they now sit amidst the refuse of my dinner in the trash can.Perhaps I can use this as an excuse to go shoe shopping this weekend? Yes?
All footwear misfortunes aside, I am quite delighted to have my laptop back–I have clearly grown quite dependent on the internet. Have you ever been disconnected from the Web/technology for an extended period of time? How did you cope?!
I have so many blogs to catch up on, I better get onto the grub!
Sunday
Simply strawberry.
strawberry smoothie with berry HempShake, soymilk, & Pumpkin Flax granola
Monday
In the past, I have made sweet “breakfast quesadillas” with much success. I made another one this morning on the ol’ GF, but this time I chose to give it a cute name, the “Bananadilla.” You can thank Allie for the inspiration–I just loved her idea of the “Banini” sandwich:)
"Bananadilla" & cinnamon-spiked yogurt
stuffed with bananas, almond butter, & dried cranberries
Due to the absurdly hot weather, I just had to sip on this before heading out on a few errands:
Delicious, although I really have no idea what hibiscus tastes like, so I can’t speak to whether it boasts of intense “hibiscus-ish” flavor. Darn refreshing though. Thanks to POM for sending it to me!
While in the computer lab this morning, I received a call that my laptop was ready. Not gonna lie, I did a little dance when I heard the news. Anyway, it was to be dropped off later in the afternoon, which meant I had to scurry over to Whole Foods. I didn’t get to meander through the aisles as I normally do, but there’s always next week:) Anyway, when I returned home, I made a quick hummus lunch, using the Curried Chickpea Hummus recipe from ED&BV. Unlike the last time I made it, I kept my enthusiasm for turmeric to a minimum, so it did not turn highlighter yellow.
Curried Chickpea Hummus with veggies & whole wheat pita; orange
The dining committee meeting was supah-short tonight, so I came home and prepared a lovely soup inspired by the Peanut Butter and Company Cookbook. I didn’t have any coconut milk on hand, so I simply substituted unsweetened almond milk with a little coconut extract–I still achieved the desired coconut-ty flavor. Expect this soup to make a repeat appearance here at the Hut:)
Thai Peanut Soup with tofu and whole wheat noodles; grapes
Don’t forget to submit those questions for the upcoming Q & A post. I am hoping to film it this weekend while I am at home for fall break:)
Goodnight all–I am off to catch up on the weekend’s events in the blog world!

You remember what happened to me last Monday with the internet issues – it was stressful at first, but then turned out to be a blessing in disguise
Eek, so sorry about the shoes!!
OH NO! SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR SHOES! those are adorable too!!!
but hurray for a working lap top! i cannot deal without my laptop/technology- ESP. because i am a creature of habit.
love the eats! esp the thai soup and ab quesadilla!
Haha I was trying to come up with a name for my sweet quesadillas…I got as far as banadilla and gave up. I like banaNAdilla though
Your shoes broke!?!? Those are the ones you always wear, right?? Sadski!! Hooray for the laptop being back and fixed!
Woah! I’ve never seen a shoe snap like that. Weird!!
This is just simply an excuse to go buy more shoes. RUN To Nordstrom or where ever you can and hook your tooties up with some new kicks
at first when im computer/technology-less i HATE it, but then i slowly like the freedom, and after about 2 days i dont wanna return to the whole shebang at all. its kinda nice no?
curried chickpea hummus? me likey!!
Glad your computer is fixed…I love breakfast paninis – especially when there is a banana involved!
Haha, banadilla is too cute!
Sorry to hear about the shoe mishap! I’m glad to hear that you didn’t hurt yourself in the process though. Yeah, I don’t know how a wood-soled shoe would snap!
When I was in Vancouver in July, we had no wireless, so I had to trek up the hill to the coffee places for wireless, haha! Cannot go without my email/blogs…this may be why I bough an ipod touch =P
hahah awe. poor shoe!
i hate it when I have no internet.. i go crazy! I usually lug my laptop to the nearest cafe. I live on my computer.. well, kinda.
bananailla? wowza!
oh… sorry about the shoes… these are cute! But glad you have your computer back… life without computer is boring, blogger without a computer isn’t life!
Love the bfast quesadilla!! And I’ve heard such good things about those teas. Glad to hear you have your laptop back but so sad to hear about the shoe- what a bummer! Hope you have a nice, relaxing night
our power went out a couple times last winter and it was miserable. i was sitting at home in the dark bored and i was like “hmm. well i guess i’ll just go get online…oh wait.” sit for a few minutes. “well…i could watch a movie…oh…wait” and a few more minutes go by “::sigh:: i’ll just go take a shower…OH WAIT. there are NO LIGHTS and i’d have to shower in the pitch dark. faaaaantastic.”
needless to say, i was not a happy camper.
Oh no!! That shoe…But good that your laptop is working fine again!

Your poor, adorable shoes!!! I wonder how that even happens?!
Must. make. breakfast. quesdilla!
I love breakfast paninis
bananadilla?? YES PLEASE!! looks delish and so does that soup–what great ingredient and flavors! glad to see your laptop is back! have a great day
Aw I’m sorry about your shoes! That stinks! I’ve actually seen girls walking and it snaps.. yikes!
That breakfast sounds awesome! I love pumpkin/pb/banana quesidillas!
yikes, how does a sturdy looking shoe just break in half like that? love your “banana-dilla”. reminds me of a decadent crepe i had once with nutella, banana, and honey!
How can you WALK in those shoes?! I am impressed. I fall over in any sort of heel!
I was without internet access when I moved recently- for almost 3 weeks… Was.not.fun *shudders* I kind of feel weird being so dependant on it?!
A couple of months back our internet went down I was so lost!
I can’t believe that happened to your shoe! I never thought that would happen to something with a wooden heel.
Love your bananadilla, things are more fun to eat when they have cute names.
you and your wondrous hummus creations are too much to handle!!!
my question to you is:
where do you draw your inspiration from? both in eating and in life?
i like your style girl, what can i say
Oh my gosh to your shoe!! Yikes! I go nutso when I’m having technology issues – I’m so dependent on the Internet it’s sad!
“Absurdly hot weather”? Want to send some of that up here to warm up my climate and we can have a happy medium?!
YOUR POOR SHOE! That is most certainly NOT supposed to happen. Have you ever seen a woman’s high heel just snap off in public? Very sad.
That peanut soup looks so good. Your PB&Co cookbook is getting quite the workout!
Yeah for getting your laptop back! bummer about the shoes – they are so cute!
I LOVE visiting your site – your food always looks so delish. I need to try making curied hummus – mmmmm!
Curry in hummus?!?!? I LOVE it! I made potato chips over the weekend and one of the flavors I made was curry! They were fab! (I’m blogging about it later today).
I hate having no internet. Luckily I have an iPhone so I’m pretty much always connected even when my lap top isn’t.
Oh and to answer your question….. shoe shopping permission GRANTED!
-A
ahhh hahaha I’m sorry about your shoes but I had to like stare at that picture for 5 minutes because I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I thought it was two shoes hahaha.
yayy I’m glad you have your computer back
all is right with the world
ah sorry about the shoe! that is pretty gnarly.
I can’t imagine not having a computer. My internet went out one night and I didn’t know what to do with myself
[...] spent much of the day in search of shoes to replace the pair that abruptly broke last week–with no luck. I also was on the hunt for some new jeans, and I didn’t have [...]
