Headache and a Hairy Salmon Burger

Cooking The Working World

It’s getting to that point in the year when things are busy…but in a fun way! Yesterday, I made the last minute decision to accompany Matt to an end-of-term party. Before I knew it, I was drinking winter beer and indulging in this glorious mint chocolate cupcake with ganache in the middle! The party was fun, but it meant I ditched everything on my to-do list and got to bed way past bedtime yet again. Oh Christmas season. I think…

Life Ramblings The Working World Twenties

Sometimes, I get tired of people (and Doctors) telling me that I’m stressed. I mean, I went to school – stress is that feeling when you have a million exams and tests piled up, right? I haven’t had that school-stressed-out feeling in a while, so I just assumed that I don’t get stressed much anymore. But lately, I’ve been re-thinking that. Perhaps stress just feels different now, especially because I stress about different types of things? I think I can…
