Here’s a typical experience: I’m at a restaurant, perusing (i.e., studying) the menu and pondering. I ask what everyone else is having, and ponder some more. Then I chat with the server. If I’m wavering between two dishes, I ask what’s the better option. If I just have one meal in mind, I focus my questions on that dish. After I get the answer, sometimes, I think some more. Aside from being a super fun dinner date (fortunately, my boyfriend and friends just laugh it off now…most of the time), I clearly have decision issues. So what’s my problem — and yours if making simple daily decisions feels like you’re gearing up for the choice of a lifetime? An articl...

Those boundaries differ with each relationship, of course. What would be considered a violation in one marriage might be perfectly acceptable for another couple. Difference of opinions even occur within a marriage. For example, I know a woman who recently asked her husband to either give her his Facebook password or close out his account after she found an email that he had sent to a former classmate that she found to be rather suggestive. He disagreed and thought it was perfectly appropriate. Social media sites and online interaction are pushing this issue to dinner...

It’ll be two years this August since my father passed away. I thought the wounds would heal by now. But they haven’t. Instead, it feels like the scar tissue is healing all wrong. The first year was a blur. Days dissolving into one another, melting like the clock in one of my father’s favorite Dali paintings. Days spent focused on checking off items on a to-do list. Months spent trying to carve out some sort of a routine in a half-empty house. Time heals all wounds; you hear that all the time. But I don’t think that’s true. Time tears off the Band-Aid, little by little, instead of ripping it off in one fell swoop. As the days, weeks, months and years go by, you just get caught...

It felt like heaven. I almost forgot what it felt like to really live, to have the kind of day I think Leonardo da Vinci is talking about when he said, “As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.” And it didn’t take much to make me feel that way. Just a bike ride near the water, dinner with friends, a trip to the zoo with my nephew. But in comparison to the daily grind, the to-do lists that never get finished, the endless amount of tasks that pile one atop the other, the feeling of just being for the sake of being was pure bliss. I realized that what was so sublime about the experience was that I was completely living in the moment....

It turns out that being a nag is just as unpleasant as being nagged — so finding strategies to stop nagging brings a real happiness boost to a relationship. But even though no one enjoys an atmosphere of nagging, in marriage or any partnership, chores are a huge source of conflict. How do you get your sweetheart to hold up his or her end, without nagging? One of my best friends from college has a very radical solution: she and her husband don’t assign. That’s right. They never say, “Get me a diaper,” “The trash needs to go out,” etc. This only works because neither one of them is a slacker, but still — what a tactic! And they have three children! That&#821...

Every time I checked my e-mail or twitter feed, there was another person who caught wind of our plans and wanted to join in.  I had no idea so many of these folks lived close enough to meet us for dinner! Chris and Dayle helped out BIG TIME in choosing a place to go and making (constantly changing) arrangements.

I went to Princeton.” ~ Jack Donaghy, Character on NBC’s show “30 Rock” You probably have heard on the news about the problem with bedbugs in hotels. Nasty little things. They come out at night and suck your blood while you sleep. I like vampire stories as much as the next guy, but when it comes to my blood I am very possessive. I don’t want to share it with a bug. I assume you feel the same. You can learn more than you’d ever want to know about these creatures at the government’s CDC website here, but suffice to say that it is worth an ounce of prevention to cope with them beforehand, particularly this holiday travel season.

Ack! If I freaked you out, I apologize. I nearly gave myself a panic attack when I realized it myself. But then, I thought about something. As you’re racing through the stores to find the “perfect” gift for your children or thumbing through cookbooks for the “perfect” Christmas dinner, think back to your Christmases in the past. When I recalled my holidays as a child, I don’t remember what we ate for dinner or what toys I got. Somehow the holidays are wrapped up in a pretty bow of imperfection, of days that I fought and made up with a parent, or the quiet time spent with a spouse. I was surprised that not even the image of a Christmas tree made it into my top holiday memorie...

I suppose for some of the people, they mean “without the symptoms of my disorder.” That makes sense, especially as some symptoms of some disorders can be pretty severe and debilitating toward living their everyday life. But then I realize that even people without a diagnosed condition still don’t often feel “normal.” We live our lives, we have our stresses, we hate our bosses or the 9-to-5 routine, we get into arguments with our significant others. Is this “normal?” Some days you don’t know...

But as Christmas approached, the shopping chores multiplied, and the savings account dwindled, Meagan became increasingly anxious and dejected. Paul, her husband, wasn’t of much help — he was preoccupied with his job search, after having been laid off two months ago. Meagan was left to deal with three school-age kids and a part-time “temp” job as a secretary. And all this, at a time Meagan strongly associated with her late mother, who always used to help with the holiday cooking — and who had passed away at about this time last year.

When I’m “on” it’s not uncommon for me to be using every one of the five burners and the oven to put a nice meal on the table for Caryn and I and occasion for guests.  I’ll admit (for the first time, at least to myself) that I just cannot do that, without some serious repercussions anymore.  What seems to be my new baseline (and I’ll write more about that next week) seems to allow for only one major function per day.  So, like you, I’m on a quest for the quick, easy (and that’s prep,...

With two preschoolers to take care of, it can sometimes be for me. But I and my husband do our best to make meal times stress-free especially in the evenings because we know that the more relaxed our evening is, the better the kids - and us - could sleep. Besides, stress, as we know, is bad for our health, affects our appetite (either way is possible), and can interfere with our digestion. There is therefore a need to remove stress from our evening meals. A recent WebMD article gave the following recommendations - 6 Ways to De-Stress at the Dinner Table: Turn down the volume. Set the Table to Set the Mood. Let There Be (Soft) Light. Control the Conversation. Keep Your Cool in the Kitchen. Keep It Real. I agree with some of th...

And while indeed eating can be part of a social activity or tradition, that doesn’t mean you need to check your common sense at the door. Last year, researcher Dr. Brian Wansink published a book entitled, Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think which isn’t a diet book so much as a book that explains why we approach food the way we do (through engaging descriptions of interesting studies), and what we can do about it. Dr. Wansink is the director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, and brings his years of research experience to bear on helping us reduc...

And therein lies my problem. The recipe says to put in a chile or two, so I did. However, the result was so hot, neither Buck nor I can eat it. Therefore, I am being even a better blogger by letting you know that, if you follow that recipe, leave the chiles strictly out of the recipe. No chiles is the right amount of chiles in this case.

They make a lovely Kobe beef sushi, and I must have eaten them out of their stock of Kobe beef. We sit at the sushi counter so we can keep an eye out on our food while it’s being made.

(see "Drug Sales in U.S. Grow at Slower Pace").Just how how mild or strong or long this recession will be is any body's guess!Like everyone else, I'm wondering how the recession may affect my business, which depends upon how well my clients -- i.e., you -- are doing.Many of readers of Pharma Marketing Blog service the pharmaceutical industry (see "Who Reads Pharma Marketing Blog"), which is not growing as fast as it did in the past.

Visit the original article at http://www.white-pebble.net/?p=4044.We had dinner last night with some of our friends here in Boulder, at a lovely restaurant called Sunflower. It’s an organic food restaurant which is helping me to dispel my 1970’s notions of organic food as brown, strangely seasoned, and gritty. My tuna Niçoise was excellent, with a lovely tarragon dressing. If you’ve noticed how seldom I write about food, you know this had to be exceptional. Now I get to head off to the more exciting adventure of getting a car battery restarted on Super Bowl Sunday.

It is so darn easy to use and I feel like it is much more accurate at this point. I think that is due to the fact that the old glucometer was years aged and needed to be put to rest. Have any of y’all out there had that issue? Have you felt like your glucometer after some time lost accuracy? Maybe it was just me but either way I am all smiles thus far. My Saturday complete with numbers… Awoke… 96, yeah ha! I did not eat breakfast or drink anything till mid day due to still not feeling that hot this morning, I guess it wasn’t tiredness and was a bug or something. Midday Lunch…Before eating 99.

Before anyone gets all in a tizzy, take the time to really read through what the research is claiming in its entirety. Yes, they are suggesting that certain breakfast breads are effective in controlling blood sugars through the dinner hour, but they are in no way suggesting that you shove 5 pieces of white toast in your mouth and call it a morning. “It is known that a carbohydrate-rich breakfast with low GI can moderate increases in blood sugar after lunch. But my results show that low GI in combination with the right amount of so-called indigestible carbohydrates, that is, dietary fiber and resistant starch, can keep the blood-sugar level low for up to ten hours, which means until after dinner,” says...

The entrée - “veal hearts”  was prepared from one of those create-this-recipe-if-you-dare cookbooks. Yikes! You could say, I chose veal hearts mainly because its full page color caption seemed to shout that any deal was possible soon after my garnished plates hit a well set table. Since my cooking skills are fair-to-middlin' - and the recipe seemed simple enough… it was a sure shoe-in.
