Who for such dainties would not stoop? … Wait, was the Mock Turtle even in the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland? He was, right? Yes? No? I can’t remember. Fail. But whatever; today I’m talking soup. It is simple. It is so simple, you don’t make it so much as assemble it. It makes a great work lunch...
Continue readingIn Which Jenn & Elizabeth Go to Hershey Park
Welcome back to my faithful pinch hitter, Elizabeth! ELIZABETH: So – we’re going to discuss Hershey Park? JENN: Yup! Because Disney people tend to be somewhat curious about other parks. ELIZABETH: What! But how could any other place measure up? JENN: It couldn’t. We just want to feel smugly superior. Also, roller coasters. ELIZABETH: Ah, right. I will say...
Continue readingAn Ode to Bread Pudding (And a Gluten/Lactose-Free Recipe!)
This is a Jenn post. I figured I’d mention since it’s not in the post title. I am an acknowledged sweet tooth, and I’ll be the first to acknowledge it. If there were any possible way to achieve a balanced diet while consuming only dessert, I’d be the first person on board. One year for my birthday Moon gave...

Moon can’t make it today, but – IT’S HER BIRTHDAY! WEEEEEE!!! Everybody wish her a happy one! 😀 😀 D Glorious. Okay. Training last week.

Why, Sasha Bratt did – Energy Bits are the thing, said he! They’re made with algae,...
Continue readingPre-Run Snack Suggestion: Raspberry Scones
MOON: Jenn and I are very liberal with what we consider “good” energy for running (but this is mostly because we love baking), so we made scones this weekend! Carbs for running! We had raspberry scones (my favorite) – all organic ingredients, of course. JENN: When did we first make raspberry scones? I feel like it’s been a go-to...
Continue readingIn Which We Talk Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian
MOON: Okay, let’s do tea! JENN: We did the afternoon tea in the Grand Floridian’s Garden View Lounge for the first time in June of 2008. There have been many changes since then, some positive and some negative, but it is the one WDW restaurant I have returned to more than any other. I think my count is up...
Continue readingIn Which Moon Touches On Restrictive Dieting
We’ll periodically be putting up solo posts from one or the other of us, just to keep the format fresh. And you know, for funsies. Today Moon tackles a topic that has great meaning to us both… Restrictive diets: say no. Let’s talk a little about nutrition and diet. Most of the “diets” I have experienced have been extremely...
