This is a hard post to write, because I wanted the HCG Diet to work. I believed in it, I followed the rules to a T, and it did work. But 2 1/2 weeks later the pounds have snuck back on, and all the sudden I’m not as slim as I was and I’m back…

How Genius are RunPhones?
On a recent cool-ish April morning, I cruised Town Lake for a run. I had recently read about this awesome idea: a headband with headphones built in. I was super excited, because then you can jam out running without the need to adjust earbuds or wipe sweat! For someone with small earholes (weird, I know),…

Paleo Pizza: Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Seriously, I love this stuff too much. The sad news is that it’s got too much nuts in it for me to love, so my next goal is to optimize the use of cauliflower. I did it!! A crispy crust with cauliflower? I am awesome. What do you call cauliflower faux flour? CauliFLOUR? That only…
Austin: Easy Tiger (or, another 24 Diner post)
I leave for a just a bit and return to a dino bone parking lot under 35 and more bars and food trailers in Rainey than I can count.
