Yesterday ended up being meatless Tuesday for DH and I. Our meat consumption isn't usually something we pay much attention to, but I noticed that our FANTASTIC dinner last night was completely vegetarian. Then I remembered that they were out of grilled chicken for my salad at lunch and I don't usually have meat with breakfast. So, meatless Tuesday.
This past weekend DH and I went wandering around one of the local farmer's markets. It's not my favorite farmer's market, but its ok. I think its growing and will continue to do better. Anyway while there I noticed several people who were selling eggplant. Now what is the first thing that comes to mind when I see eggplant? Ratatouille! So we went in search of some zucchini too. Well that was Saturday, we ended up having Girls/Boys night out and had dinner out. Sunday for lunch we tried Texas Roadhouse (for the first time!) and after filling up on appetizers we hardly ate any of our entrees. So we actually had enough for dinner that night too. Monday night DH was working late so I was left to fend for myself and I didn't want to (nor know how to) make the ratatouille. So that left last night.
I noticed last night as I got home that the new issue of Food Magazine came. I always enjoy looking through that magazine though I don't know that I've actually made anything from it. Things just don't seem to grab me and we participate in emeals so I don't really have to meal plan anymore. Anyway last night they not only had a 50 milkshake recipes (did I mention I have a sweet tooth) they also had a recipe for french fries that looked amazing! So I made them and they turned out great.
Emeril Lagasse's Oven-Crispy French Fries with paprika-parmesan salt.
2 large baking potatoes (1.5 lbs) scrubbed well
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoon emeril's original essence seasoning or creaole seasoning (I used cajun seasoning)
Kosher salt (I used regular salt)
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (I used sore bought Parmesan)
1 Tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (mine ran out part way through so it wasn't this much)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1. Preheat over in 425
2. Pat the potatoes dry and cut them lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Turn each slice flat and slice again lengthwise into even 1/2 inch thick fries. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss well to combine then transfer the fries to a large baking sheet and arrange them in one even layer so that they are not touching. Roast, scraping the potatoes from the baking sheet with a metal spatula and turning them over halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and stir to blend. When the potatoes are crisp and brown, sprinkle with the paprika-parmesan salt. Serve hot.

What To Wear
So I'm trying to revamp my wardrobe to make my closet full of things that I like and want to wear, not full of things I either don't like or am sick of wearing. In that vein I have been looking at Pinterest to see what sorts of outfits I like, I also have been searching for what makes good and complete wardrobe. So I don't lose the links I have included them here.
This one is from Real Simple and it has a true checklist of stuff (no photos and the actual check boxes don't work). One thing I like is that it has items which are always good to have (black and white tanks, short sleeved and long sleeve shirts) and items which are good for each season (cardigans for spring, trench coats for fall). If I had most of the things on this list I would have a very versatile wardrobe and a full closet.
This next link from The Simply Luxurious Life has a photo list of 10 wardrobe essentials. The list is no where nearly as comprehensive as the list from Real Simple, but it has pictures of examples. It includes items such as the little black dress and a white button down shirt.
Finally Collegefashion.net has a list that is sort of in between the two lists. It does have some photos of ideas, but is more comprehensive in its suggestions. It is definitely directed toward college women, but I'm not that far removed from college and it has some general suggestions for mostly casual encounters. I like its suggestion to get at least one pair of fun high heels what show personality.
Now that I'm armed with ideas and inspiration I just need to get out there and find these things!
Happy Shopping.

So it's been a while...
...about 2 and a half years. Well my life has gone through many iterations in that time. Lets reflect some shall we?
When I last wrote I was about to start the Spring semester of my 3rd year of pharmacy school. I've since graduated and am about 2 weeks away from finishing up my residency. I'm sure I can rant about all of that later. I learned a lot from my residency, just not necessarily what I was expecting to. I have a sneaky suspicion that's how it usually goes.
Since that time we've also moved to beautiful Pensacola and bought another house. This one has a pool, which we just replaced the liner.
Other than that, life just continues to move on.
Now, my main motivation for rekindling this blog? PINTEREST! Hi, my name is Katy and I am addicted to Pinterest. It started out with a goal of finding ideas for decorating our mantle for holidays. I was not to be tempted by delicious looking food, or funny sayings, or amazing outfits, or photos of luxurious travel locations. Well food has quickly become a staple "pin" and I have boards for drinks, sweet treats and general food items. I still try to be good and pass on some of the sweet treats. I also have recently decided that my wardrobe needs redesigning, so I am on the hunt for good outfits which I could actually see myself wearing (all the better if it is a work outfit!). I have created a board for some of the funny sayings, but for the most part I shy away from repinning those. And to date I have not created a travel locations board, however after my weekly email from Pinterest today I'm sorely tempted to start one!
Now how does all of this relate to this blog? Well I have pictures of my mantle and other holiday ideas I've considered for my mantle. However, I don't have a way to get them on Pinterest. Thus, I hope to put the pictures up on this blog, Pin them to Pinterest and become wildly famous for my fantastic holiday mantle designs. Isn't that the American Dream? To become famous via Pinterest?
Anywhoo, I also anticipate ranting about pharmacy life...I'm always surprised about how little people know about pharmacy and what a pharmacist is and what we do.
So sit back and enjoy the ride!

Spring Semester 3PD
Well I just started my last semester as a 3PD. Thankfully it's only 8 weeks. I can do anything for 8 weeks...right? Never mind the fact that we have therapy twice a day MWF and still have 6 main cases! In addition to therapy, which will be a beast in its own right, I have clinical toxicology, skills lab, and pharmacoeconomics.
I had my first tox class yesterday. It seems like it will be good. The semester focuses on pharmaceutical abuses and solutions. In addition to meeting for two hours we have two lectures to watch a week. I was thinking that was a little steep for a 2 credit class, but I don't think we'll actually meet the whole two hours every week. The professor said the tests are hard, but that there is a hearty curve and most people end up with an A or a B.
Skills lab is mostly focused on compounding. It looks like we'll either be making or learning about how to make tablets, capsules, suppositories and other things. I think I'll have a leg up in this class since I spent time in a compounding lab second year.
Lastly there is pharmacoeconomics. I have no clue what to expect from this class. Thankfully it is with the same group as last semester (the fab 5 girls!) and working with the project from last semester (DVT prophylaxis in orthopedic patients). Other than that I have no clue. We'll see, I have a feeling it will take some work, but then doesn't everything in pharmacy school?!?!

Last day on the job
Today was my last day working as an intern at CVS in Maine. I really enjoyed working with everyone there. It was sort of annoying working at the beginning of the summer because I wasn't licensed. (Note to self, remember this experience and always apply for licenses early!) I learned a lot, mostly that Pharmacy is really detail oriented. And each scrip needs and deserves my A game. I was complimented by the pharmacist saying that I'll be a good pharmacist and that the fact I don't get ruffled will be an asset.
On the other hand, my last day of work signifies the end of summer and my move back to Florida. I hate moving. After packing up the car and driving to Florida, I have to pack up the apartment there and move again. Not looking forward to the drive or the start of classes or leaving DH, but it will be nice to see all my friends!
