I had an incredibly weird experience yesterday that I want to share as sort of a public service announcement. If you have nutmeg in your pantry, please read on...

I've had these seeds in the fridge, straight from the pumpkin in this recipe, for like, over two weeks. Surprise!

In the past few weeks I've done embarrassingly little in the way of food preparation. Suffice it to say that I write this post while waiting for our chinese takeout to arrive. The wedding may be over but we're drowning in Crate & Barrel packaging and the back-to-work blues over here!

I got this idea from someone, on some blog, I don't remember which, talking about eating miso in ways other than soup. (Does that count as giving credit? Geez) And so I tried this as a snack and it pretty much rocks– it also quells my sometimes desire to run to Dunkin Donuts for a cream cheese fix.

Dr: So, have we talked about you getting a bone density scan? Me: Um, no Dr: Well I think it's a good idea, we should set it up Me: Um, ok Dr: Because with all those premature grays, that can be a sign of osteoporosis. Yikes! Not about the bone scan, but my gray hairs are that noticeable??? Shoot. I had tried hair dye and ended up with a severe allergic reaction, not to mention purple spots all over my bathroom walls from a sloppy home-dye procedure. So that's out. What to do?
