The Vegan Experiment: Update
On March 1st I became ~80% vegan. The goal was to support The Boy, who wanted to eat more of a vegan lifestyle, and the first step was to go vegan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the weekdays with some flex built in on the weekends so we could socialize with friends and not … Read more
A-Basin, The Rockies, and Easy Oatmeal
Ok, so life is still kicking my butt with long hours, high stress, and low resources. In the midst of wedding planning, trying to buy a house, working full time, and wrapping up a doctorate I was able to do a few fun things the last month: We went to our first Rockies game! The … Read more
Updates
Things have been busy! I’m on a new service at work. As a psychology resident on the psychiatry consult service at a Level I Trauma Center I see some of the most severe psychopathology in the intermountain West. Exacerbation of chronic paranoid schizophrenia resulting in harm to self and/or others? Got it. Severe suicide attempts? … Read more
New Job!
When I haven’t been working full time, skiing, and wrapping up my doctorate, I’ve been applying to jobs. I was very fortunate to have great interviews and several competitive offers, but after much deliberation, The Boy and I decided that the intermountain west was best and I accepted a position in the University of Colorado’s … Read more
Skiing Big Sky
The Boy’s family has two condos at Big Sky so we got the family together (17 of us!) for a ski vacation. Two years ago I learned to ski at Big Sky. I got to hit the greens and ventured to some blues but wasn’t anywhere near good enough to really appreciate the mountain. The … Read more
Fast, easy breakfast with the perfect poached egg
The other day I saw this completely amazing video about the best way to poach an egg: I’ve tried to make poached eggs dozens of times and with marginal success. Are the poached? Yes. Are they ugly enough I’d never serve them to a guest? Regrettably, also yes. I had to try to make these … Read more
New Skis! Icelantic Oracles!
I have the best partner in the world. I came home late from Vancouver and The Boy had waited up for me. I happily gifted him some seasoned salt from Meat and Bread because I enjoyed the food and wanted to share something of my trip with him. We went downstairs and there was a … Read more
48 hours in Vancouver
I spent the last 48 hours interviewing for a position in Vancouver. I’m on the job market for a position after I graduate in August and I am very thankful to be interviewing in some pretty incredible places with equally incredible prospective mentors. I got into Vancouver on Thursday and went to Wildebeest for dinner. … Read more
Beaver Creek and Vail
Our buddy was in town from Boston so we hit the road to ski Beaver Creek and Vail this weekend. We took the dogs. One of the coolest things about living in Colorado and doing lots of skiing is that I’ve gotten so much better. At Beaver Creek I was able to do quite a … Read more
Breck and Copper
My friend who we went snowmobiling with used to be a nationally ranked skier and professional ski bum (true stories). So we hit up Breck with her cousins and had a blast. Not only does her cousin work there so we got an awesome experience being on the mountain, but she and her husband are … Read more
