1. I pronounce Wednesday just like that. And I also say qui-noh-ah.
2. In the last week, I’ve broken 3 glasses that I love and my favorite vase. What does this mean? Is my world crumbling? Should I play the lottery?
3. I still can’t get enough of the royal wedding or Kate Middleton. I’m a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. I’m also not a realist, in case you haven’t noticed. I’ve been stalking this site for the last few weeks. I need a life.
4. If you are celebrating Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, may I please suggest this, this, this or these. And those all need washed down with a gigantic slice of this. Who needs fried ice cream?
5. I’m roasting another chicken tonight. And you can’t stop me.
6. My workouts have been awfully boring this week due to my iPod that thinks it knows me and thinks I want to hear Dirty Bit every five minutes. What is on your current playlist?
7. I’m eating my vegetables!
I know there are very important things going on in the world this week, but I figured you’re probably concerned about my greenery intake. I don’t even think edamame is a vegetable. I know nothing.
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
what a great way to get in some veggies:-)

oh my goodness. I’m eating vegetables everyday for 30 days to create a habit, and I would KILL for those dark chocolate edamame. Screw these cucumbers!

I also pronounce Wednesday in the proper way ;)

At least the label is green like veggies, that counts, right?

You are too funny! Thanks for making me laugh during this never ending workday afternoon!

Do you also pronounce February – Feb-Ru-Ary? :)
I still want a roasted chicken. Will you please make me one?

You are always good for an afternoon laugh. Thanks for making the last little bit of work go by a bit faster. :) Enjoy your Wednesday, and your chocolate covered soybeans. :)

I’m just impressed you are eating your vegetables…however, that is a protein heavy veggie! You definitely have some voodoo going on with the broken glasses…watch your back!

Wed-nes-day.. that was how I learned how to spell this day!

Such a perfect way to eat your veggies!

You’ll be pleased to know that when they announced the news about Osama I asked my boyfriend if he thought that was the REAL reason Will and Kate cancelled their honeymoon last minute. And oh yeah, edamame are green and green = vegetable.

Chocolate covered edamame sounds like such a winner of a snack. You probably got it at TJ’s? If so, maybe I’ll have to resort to dipping my own vegetables in chocolate.
Reply
the amount that i laugh out loud at your blog is probably weird considering i’m usually by myself, laughing. you are too cute girl! and i eat copious amounts of edamame as well, vegetable or no vegetable.

You’re always so adorable. I have to admit, I didn’t expect to get sucked in by the royal wedding as much as I did. Looks like a fantastic mashup of delicious recipes. :-)

You are so funny! Thanks for a great laugh this afternoon! Enjoy the roast chicken!

I love Kate Middleton too! I’m so glad I’m not the only stalker out there….
And where did you get those chocolate edemame? MUST. HAVE. SOME!

PS- Do you also sing in harmonies instead of to the exact tune even though it annoys everyone around you? Because I do.
Reply

OMG I LOVE singing in harmony! My husband doesn’t get it at ALL.
Um I kind of want to walk around all day in dresses like Kate middleton’s. No shame.

My coworker calls me the wedding Grinch. I despise weddings with a fiery passion. That being said… I totally stalked the royal wedding too! If someone like me loves it… you can definitely love it!

Kate is so lovely. I love her smile
Chocolate covered edamame?! Iwant some NOW
Reply
Oh. My. God. Chocolate edamame. Want. Must. Have.

I swear iPods play the absolute worst song over and over again…like the one song you don’t want to hear!
Reply
Ooooh, I must get some of that edamame. Maybe I will finally like it if it’s covered in chocolate!
Reply
You and I have the same take on vegetables – and I love ya for it :D

I pronounce spatula spa-too-la – it’s way more fun :)
Reply
Haha thank you for the link to the Kate Middleton site! Hilarious.

I started pronouncing foccaccia as “foh-cah-chee-ah” as a tween as a joke, and now I can’t say it any other way. I’ve been prone to wed-nes-day too :)
Reply
Oh my gosh…that website is awesome!!!!
Reply
Are those from TJ’s? I must pick some up the next time I’m there!
Reply
I just stumbled upon your blog looking up cake in a jar and found your s’mores in a jar! Yum! Anyway, your writing makes me laugh…you are gifted in writing…just thought I should let you know!

I think I need Royal Wedding therapy; it’s insane how much I’m still into it!
Reply
Wait…what!? Where did those edamame come from?? You must tell me!!
I went on a streak once where I was breaking a cup/glass once a week. It was horrible.
Reply
I love that kate middleton website. Too funny. :-)
Reply
I love that website! I always wonder if Kate’s ever seen it…
Hey, as long as it’s green, it’s a veggie, right?
I’ve been listening to a lot of Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry. They’re awesome for working out!
Reply
OMG that site is hilarious! I’m gonna pass it along to my fiance. He will love it. I am serious!
Reply
Um WHAT?! Chocolate covered Edimame?! My husband would die if he saw this. He literally eats edimame by the handfuls.
Reply
Cute post! I am still obsessed with the royal wedding, too! That website is so funny! I just watched Catherine and William kiss at least 50 times in 30 seconds! Thanks for the link!
Reply
Haha… I say Wed. Nes. Day. the same way…no joke…especially when I have to spell it! lol
And WHERE did you find the chocolate covered edamame? I HEART edamame..but chocolate covered..yes please!

I pronounce quinoa the same way! Hooray I am not alone :-)

Only if you cook for me!
Royal Wedding withdrawals, I’m there. I succumbed to watching Will and Kate (the Lifetiime movie) the other day. I’m not proud of it, and it’s not great, but it filled the void for a bit (also: digestives and percy pigs help too).
And I am with you on the iPod missing the mark for a good workout shuffle: I swear mine thinks it’s Christmas.

That is the BEST veggies ever!! :)

I’ve never seen these in Japan… I sure bet they taste superb… I’m the same way with my workouts,, but I download iTunes pod casts d.j mixes and couldn’t ever be without them!

i just went to the kate website. Hilarious (and Im still loving the stories toO. I love everything about weddings)
