For whatever reason, food often takes center stage in my life.Here are a few of my favorite meals, recipes and revelations. The Great Grocery Reformation. When life takes away your chocolate…. 8220;Fudge” and other curse words. 13: best cookies ever. Exaggeration vs. No exaggeration. I like to think of this as a lifestyle blog, so that occasionally encompasses some random topics. Think of it as a grab-bag, with some fun topics inside! My running stream of consciousness. Flashback: high school dances.

eryen: Expecting a Plane Crash
http://www.eryen.com/2012/12/expecting-plane-crash.html
Saturday, December 29, 2012. Expecting a Plane Crash. Flying isn't my favorite. On the way back from Vegas a couple weeks ago, I was reminded of this. As much as I travel, you'd think I'd get used to flying. But I've watched enough Lost. To know that anytime I experience turbulence the plane is probably about to split in half. Or, thanks to watching Denzel Washington's Flight. Movie a few weeks ago (which I don't recommend), I assume the pilot is downing vodka in the cockpit. Maybe a combination of both.

Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Riders and Walk Out Songs. A cute bear of honey and six Red Bulls later, I started to imagine life with a rider. Let me back up. Tonight, David Dunn. Is performing at my church (7 PM at GCR. If you're interested). I was sent on a small mission earlier this morning to retrieve the requested items on his contract rider. Compared to most riders, the requests were minute. But it was enough for me to start envisioning a world where I, too, could have a rider. This will never be me.

http://www.eryen.com/2013/02/garage-sale-apocalypse-insight-and.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Garage Sale Apocalypse: Insight and Survival Tips. Like a scene from Walking Dead. They descended upon us in droves. There wasn't time to think. There wasn't time to act. We were trapped. In our own home, we were trapped. Droves, I tell you. Droves. I looked over to my roommate, Addie. I could see panic and despair written on her face, mirroring my own. We had no baseball bats, no guns; we were defenseless. Nothing we did could keep this mob at bay. Were these people zombies?

http://www.eryen.com/2013/03/going-home.html
Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Everyday I skim news articles to get caught up on what's going on in the world. This could easily be considered the most depressing part of my day, as most of the news is. well. depressing. Sinkholes, murder, scandals, accidents, death, natural disaster; it's easy to read the news and desperately wonder what is happening to this world. But today I came across a story that reminded me that, despite the pain and chaos still present, we are en route to the redemption of all things.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Riding the Magic School Bus. This was my first thought on Saturday night when approached by a couple who appeared as though they came straight from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ok, that was rude. Maybe more like straight off the Magic School Bus. Think Ms. Frizzle incarnate. I was selling merchandise for a concert at my church this past weekend, minding my own business, selling CD's, when along comes the aforementioned Potter-Frizzle couple. So of course I ...

Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Words of Wisdom from a Runner and a Fictitious TV Character. Nostalgia is truly one of the great human weaknesses. second only to the neck.". I'm really going to miss Dwight Shrute. If you can sift through his unwavering loyalty to a dying paper supply company in Pennsylvania, his intensity when it comes to beets and science fiction, and his childlike love for authority, you will find, on occasion, some nuggets of truth that he offers. Like the quote above. And no longer is.

http://www.eryen.com/2013/03/time-peace-university.html
Monday, March 4, 2013. Time is a currency I never seem to have enough of. I think I have hours, days and weeks to spend on anything of my choosing. But like scraping the bottom of an empty purse when I just want a pack of gum, I find myself too often wondering where all my time went and wishing I had just a little more. It never seems to add up to enough. I took his Financial Peace. Class (which I think everyone should take) over a year ago. At that point, I was in a state of constantly wondering whe...

Thursday, February 14, 2013. Green Grass and Plastic Bags. The other day I stumbled upon a news story entitled The Disgusting Consequences of Plastic Bag Bans. You should check out the article, but in summary it was shown that 51% of reusable bags were infested. With coliform bacteria. In San Francisco, where plastic bags are banned, e. coli related hospital visits are on the rise and deaths from food borne illnesses jumped 46% since the ban. Yikes A well-intentioned environmental movement gone awry.
