Not just a little dead: won't turn on- and if it does turn on it keeps trying to sync, so I hooked it up to the computer and nothing, no connection, then it dies again. I am hoping I can get my stuff off it before I have to send it away to get fixed- but things do not look promising...
But there is one shining moment (with regards to my food prep/consumption) I am happy to report :)
My labmate, Christine, made me an energy bar snack as a thank you for processing some of her samples (I was also doing mine so she totally did not have to thank me so well- but I am not complaining!!). I can not find the recipe online but she packaged the bars up and gave me the original recipe with the nutritional information and everything! Totally sweet :)
*Recipe is from a Fine Cooking publication: Eat Smart. Recipe is not available to the public- enjoy!
Other fun fact about Christine: she is also very interested in the CALERIE study and is currently on the waiting list in case someone drops out of the study.
