Health, Food, and Recipes
- Low Carb, Low Sugar Pumpkin Loaf Bread.
- How to Make Oatmeal… Wrong. McDonald’s attempt is pitiful.
- Article on Mindless Eating featuring Cornell professor Brian Wansink.
- AMAZING (short) video of a performance of Swan Lake by the Chinese circus. Via my old yoga teacher.
Other Randoms
- When you’re old would you rather look back and say “I had tons of fun in my 20′s; time to pay for it now” or “I’m glad that I worked hard back then; pass me another dodo egg Jeeves”?
- Where Have the Good Men Gone? An explanation for the surfeit of immature male 20-somethings. Good think I found an amazing man and snapped him up. “Kay S. Hymowitz argues that too many men in their 20s are living in a new kind of extended adolescence.”
- A Healthy Diet for the Mind (link via Bobby). Cool article that relates reading with eating – you are what you eat, and you also are what you read. There are a lot of “junk food” ideas out there. Be mindful of what you’re feeding your brain. He makes a point of not confusing the medium with nutritional value (i.e., there are some good Twitter feeds, there are some good blogs – you shouldn’t rule out a whole medium just because 90% of that medium is junk).
Salad Girl Updates
- I have been incredibly busy with work and friends and life that I have had absolutely no time to blog. I’m okay with it. I am enjoying the sporadic posting. Maybe someday I will be able to have a more frequent posting schedule again.
- Two things that are keeping me busy – choir practice and a ceramics class that Bobby got for me.
- I ordered 2 large wardrobes from Ikea and they came today. One was broken (sad) but Ikea will replace it (they better) and the other one is awesome.
- I am contemplating a challenge that would involve no clothes shopping (aside from thifting) for a long time. Having the new wardrobes has made me realize how many clothes I have, how many clothes I don’t need, and how much money I probably waste on clothes that I never wear.
- Can’t decide if shoes will be a part of that challenge… I finally got the pair of Danskos I have been eyeing for months now. So comfy and cute.
What is your favorite pair of shoes?

I LOVE danskos. Especially since they started making heels. I can wear comfy shoes to work Abd still look cute. And they last forever. I bought my first pair 7 years ago and all they’ve needed is a little tlc every year (in the form of applying some oil) and they keep going strong.
Choir?! I didn’t know salad girl sang! We need videos.
My favorite shoes are probably…my house slippers. Does that count?
Minnetonka Moccasins BTW: http://www.minnetonkamoccasin.com/
@clare: Nice! I have a pair of Minnetonka’s as well
They are cute boots and I wear them to death.
Mags!! Awesome links this week! My favorite shoes are a cute black “suede” pair of booties type things I got from buffalo exchange. Not thrift price I guess but at least they’re used! I could also really cut back on shopping, let me know more about your challenge.
Glad to hear choir and life in general is going well! Busy is typically a good thing for me, I’ve been go go go but loving it, feeling good, and trying to enjoy all my blessings, even if I get stressed sometimes.
I really wanted to call you last night because I’m in San Francisco and went to Cha Ya for dinner. That place has your name written all over it! OMG it was some of the most amazing food ever. Have you been there? I would have called to find out but it was like 11 pm NY time lol.
I’d love to catch up so send me an email or just call when you’re free! And post some pics of your ceramics, that’s so cool!
Thanks for the link love!!
