Remember how my week last week was dominated by peanut butter?
Well, now you may see the fruits of my labor…
You may click here to see the peanut butter recipe slideshow I created for Shape magazine in its entirety.
This may have been the most fun freelance project I’ve ever completed. Writing + Peanut Butter + Amazing Fitness Magazine. It’s going to be a hard one to top. I hope you guys enjoy the recipes!
Lunch
Today’s lunch was enjoyed outside of the home on a hot date with… myself.
I felt the urge to get out of the house to work today and headed to Starbucks to enjoy their free internet and a mocha light Frappuccino late this morning.
(Side note: I desperately need to clean my laptop screen. Anyone know of any good at-home cleaning techniques?)
Oh, and guess what? According to Starbucks and Shape, I’m a whole new person today. I’m Julie Fagan Jewlie Fagon.
Hey, Shape magazine can call me whatever they want. 
I worked through my normal lunchtime at Starbucks and was enjoying my new work environment so much that I decided to buy a sandwich and continue plugging away.
I died a little inside when I paid $5.25 for that bad boy. It was pretty good, though I prefer my homemade egg salad.
I think I like all of my homemade egg and tuna salads more than the salads offered at restaurants because I make mine with Miracle Whip and not regular mayonnaise. I know Miracle Whip divides people and evokes a kind of hatred only matched by peoples’ hatred of cottage cheese, but I like it and will stand by the ol’ Whip. Regular mayonnaise gives me the heebie jeebies… kinda like catfish.
Time to get back to work. I think I may be ordering a hot tea because Starbucks is feeling a little chilly at the moment. Or I could walk outside because it’s hotter than a mofo in Orlando.
P.S. The Fashion page was updated this afternoon!

I completely agree with you; Miracle Whip is sooooo much better than mayonaise! I can’t stand the stuff. But I love Miracle Whip… I went through a stage where I would even use it as a dressing for salads, lol! And congrats on the Shape magazine deal!!
Julie, you totally need to send your picture in to this blog that posts other peoples’ “Starbucks Alter Egos”: www . patspaper . com / blog / c / Starbucks

Shape is an awesome magazine – congrats on the article!
Hahaha you are adorable. I looked and drooled over every peanut butter recipe you have on Shape. Definitely will be making those soon! So thank you!
Got The Oatmeal e-mail today and thought of your blog, tee hee!

Looks like Starbucks LOVES to misspell names. My name is Michelle and they spelled it Miochtelle. Uh, what? This happened at a Starbucks in Grand Forks, ND (I live in Canada)…. didn’t know they put your name on the cup, but when I showed my cousin we had a huge laugh in the car.
BTW, new reader to your blog and I love it! I’m going to make the bean burger recipe later this week. 🙂
haaaaaa so funny that you said you were in Orlando… way to throw us off!
