Looking forward to Memorial Day Wknd

Had quite a nice wknd but it really did fly by. The weather sucked, but what can ya do?
Back to a busy schedule, but particularly this morning, I felt really great. I had a pep in my step, wearing long ago discarded jeans again, and feelin' fancy free.
This sounds really yummy. Maybe I'll make it and put up a pic:

VIETNAMESE NOODLE SALAD
INGREDIENTS
1 1⁄2 TBS olive oil
4 1⁄2 tsp Nama Shoyu
½ c mango strips (optional)
5 c kelp noodles
2 TBS toasted sesame oil
1⁄2 c de-stemmed fresh cilantro
1⁄4 c de-stemmed chopped fresh mint
1⁄4 c de-stemmed chopped fresh basil
¼ c chopped green onions
2 tsp finely minced garlic
1 1⁄2 tsp finely minced kefir lime leaf
1 1⁄2 tsp finely minced lemon grass
1 1⁄2 tsp finely minced ginger
The zest of one lime
The zest of one small orange
1 TBS honey
2 TBS chopped almonds
1⁄4 c chopped tomatoes
1 TBS chopped red bell pepper
1 tsp black sesame seeds

STEP 1
Marinate the mushrooms in the olive oil and 1 1⁄2 tsp of the Nama Shoyu while you prepare the rest of the dish (they need to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes).
STEP 2
Peel the optional mango. Use a mandolin, vegetable peeler, spiralizer, or knife to slice it into long noodle-like strips.
STEP 3
Place the mango, noodles, cilantro, mint, basil, garlic, kefir lime leaf, lemongrass, ginger, lime zest, orange zest, honey, and the remaining 1 TBS Nama Shoyu in a large bowl. Use a rubber scraper to gently turn the mixture over and evenly coat the noodles.
STEP 4
Distribute equal portions of the noodle mixture onto four plates. Then sprinkle with equal parts of the almonds, tomatoes, red bell pepper, black sesame seeds, and optional Coconut Noodles. Serve!

bahhh, Tues

I'm really enjoying this mtv gig, but this week feels so long alreadyyy. Trying to get back on the health bandwagon and enjoy this week. Sunday's AIDS walk was good (sorry, I forgot my camera) and urban bear fest was fun (my friend helped organize it) and then I hung out on the highline for a bit. Oh, and Saturday R & I went to Red Bank which is a really cute, laid back, pretty town.
Good times. Now to get done with work!

Happy Mother's Day!

Oy vey

So I go to "the lodge" (yes, I speak mtvspeak) to get my lunch and step out to the patio/balcony b/c today is such a friggin' gorgeous day and I see everyone and their mother lined up leaning over the balcony. As you all know by now, there was a bomb scare that turned out to be a cooler full of water bottles (thank god).
I didn't have my camera but basically it was a bunch off cop cars shutting down the block. I am literally right in Times Sq, lol.
So I'm fine, my salad was pretty yummy - why are raisins and carrots such a winning combo? discuss - and all's well.
Happy Friday.
