Entrance to Church Square Park

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. - Shakespeare

My Trader Joe’s Half Day Juice Cleanse

Image
Hacked more expensive juice offerings and came up with this two-meal juice cleanse plan. I am not a nutritionist nor a qualified medical professional though skipping two meals probably wouldn’t be a big concern. (I realize that some people are advised to eat frequently.)   There will be no mention of the word *detox* in this blog post. I devised this half day cleanse to give my digestive tract a break, to take a break from post-pandemic cooking, which is tough, and to get more mindful about food consumption. With a total of 520 calories, this plan may possibly meet the caloric requirements for two meals. For a half day, that’s two meals, breakfast and lunch, one juice every two hours. 1 Cold Pressed Juice Green, 90 calories 1 Cold Pressed Juice Red, 110 calories 1 Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie, 320 calories – for the home stretch Add a Suja Cold-Pressed Lemon Ginger Cayenne depending on your ambition. Followed up with a lighter than usual dinner.  A...

Embracing the Gray: How One Woman Found the Perfect Balance with Gray Blending - Now on Blogger

Image
The following is a post about gray blending developed though ChatGPT. There’s a reason I used ChatGPT for this post. Aesthetically, getting older has been a challenge. Some people look great with gray hair.   I would have kept the gray but, being a brunette, it was a gray that drained my coloring. A dull, difficult-to-work-with, unruly gray. When it was clear that I was no longer able to cover my grays with single-process coloring, at around 90% gray, I finally discovered gray blending though a hair stylist. It didn’t present itself to me as a solution naturally, it took me a while to find it. It took me a while to give up single-process coloring, a solution that worked as part of my adult life for a long time. It took me a while to grow out most of the remaining color. Getting the hair stripped of all color was a marathon of sitting in a salon chair. Not really my bag. Learning through ChatGPT, it seems that the gray blending option developed as a hair coloring technique over ...

One Day Barista Training at the New Jersey Coffee School

Image
Such a special experience and a reminder that most of the time, it’s later than you think.  New Jersey Coffee School at the Monroe Center is closing in Hoboken after a 3-year run. They are now offering on-site training to their hospitality clientele, still a successful business, but no longer serving as a stand-alone training space. I enrolled in Day One of their 3-Day Barista training just before the closing was announced. I have probably done “the 10,000 hours” in food but my experience in beverages is limited.   Specifically, I am looking to purchase an at home espresso maker and taking the class provided me with an overview of the equipment. Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...
