It amazes me how often people like to pretend they’re ostriches. They spend their lives being miserable and trying to hide the fact that they’re miserable. They’re trying to hide it from themselves. Continue reading »

I’ve been thinking about archetypes in relationships a lot lately, mostly because I’ve been witnessing some interesting dynamics play out with friends and clients. The thing is, dissension between archetypes in a relationship plays out when somebody (or both somebodies) isn’t taking responsibility for their actions. Continue reading »

This recipe is ridiculously easy and inexpensive, but looks impressive.
I call it Shrimp and Spinach a la Vodka
Ingredients:
1 box of pasta (I like penne or bowtie)
8-12 oz of spinach (you can substitute asparagus or another veggie)
1 lb shrimp, de-veined and raw (you can substitute cubed chicken or tofu if you don’t like shrimp)
1 jar of Italian pink vodka sauce (I like Newman’s Own)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, pepper and minced garlic to taste
Basil and/or parmesan cheese for garnish
Cook pasta according to directions.
As the pasta cooks, warm olive oil in a saute pan and add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes* on med-high, then add vodka sauce and spinach. Cook until the sauce is hot, spinach is slightly wilted and shrimp is cooked through (about 5-6 minutes).
Drain pasta and place in in a large bowl, adding sauce mixture on top. Toss and serve. Garnish as desired.
*chicken needs to be cooked longer, at least 6-8 minutes (depending on size) before adding sauce
Yummy and impressive! For best results, use large or extra large shrimp.

I’ve just landed in Hawai’i after a week long drive from Massachusetts to California. My husband and I each drove our cars and shipped them to Hawaii from Oakland. It was a trip we’d planned for months, and then totally threw the plan book out the window as we moved closer to the end of the year. Continue reading »
