And busy people. And people who are afraid to leave slow cookers on whilst they’re at work. And people who would rather risk eating beans from a can than soak dried beans overnight. And people who like tomatoes, a variety of beans, some onions, some…

Today: An interview with Emily Mistretta of the Boston Ballet.
I’ve always enjoyed the idea of ballet. I live for essie ballet slippers polish, ballet trends in fashion, and the movie Center Stage. I have an extensive collection of legwarmers (perfect for going to and from yoga). The last time I actually wore ballet slippers, though,…

Today: A weekend at home.
Home Alone My older brother and sister-in-law celebrated their wedding anniversary this week, which meant Nick and I got to babysit our niece for the first time. We partied like animals, singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star while changing into PJs at 6:45 PM and reading…

Today: Pulling myself up.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Before I joined CrossFit Southie, I didn’t give much thought to pull-ups… well, other than, I can’t do ’em. Now I find myself passing the park on my way to the bank, eyeing the monkey bars and wondering if playground sand might be…

Today: Grown up snack packs.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I couldn’t help but think of Billy Madison on Sunday night, while whipping up lunches for the week. Billy Madison: Where’s my snack paaaack? Juanita: You got a banana, you don’t need no snack pack. I don’t care what Juanita says. I need…
