Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

It’s Been A While

by

I haven’t been to yoga in the park in a loooooong time!  Between smoking hot summer weather and the fear of further damaging my car accident neck, I had built up quite the aversion to this former favorite.

To say I was rusty was an understatement.  The first downward dog of my practice was… hard.  By the time I started enjoying myself, it was time for our final chaturanga.  But even if it was only for a small moment, I did enjoy myself, which means I’ll surely bring yoga in the park back into my Sunday routine!

After yoga I stopped at Greenwise to pick up some sushi, which didn’t look good.  I ended up getting vegetable soup, rice, and peas from the salad bar. Vegetable soup that I thought had noodles in it (don’t those white things look like  noodles?!).  Nope.  White string beans.  So disappointed.

Breakfast With Gram

by

With all of this traveling, it’s been super difficult to find time for the hour drive to see my gramma.  So last night as I hung out lazily at home, I called her to make breakfast plans, set my alarm for 7:30AM (yikes for a Sunday, right?) and stuck to it.  Crawling out of my cozy bed this morning was tough, but once I hopped in the car and sung my heart out to sweet tunes, all was good in my world.

I picked her up and we headed to her regular breakfast joint, The Ram’s, where we were cordially greeted by the owner.  The place was packed yet quaint and had the perfect amount of bustle for a weekend meal.  We both ordered our own version of the two egg breakfast and did some long overdue catching up.

And on our way home, we stopped by my uncle’s house to see The Pie!  It was a lovely Sunday morning indeed.

What is your idea of a typical Sunday?

Thai Temple

by

Between wedding season, races, and Healthy Living Summit planning, Meghann has been a busy little chickadee.  We hadn’t hung out since Rasa-Lila in April and a meet-up was long overdue.

A Thai Temple Sunday for a couple of foodies = an almost perfect plan!

We headed to the flower/veggie tents right away.  I think she and I were both on the same ‘flowers are fun to take pictures of’ page.  I also think we both wished we had greener thumbs and were capable of sustaining such pretty plants.

When we approached the food tents, I was sooooo hungry.   I wanted to order coconut custard right away, but Meghann suggested we walk around and look at everything before diving in.  That idea may seem like common sense to you, but to me, it was genius!

I’m often guilty of food buying remorse in situations like today, but walking around most definitely prevented me from spending entirely too much money on stuff that didn’t taste nearly as cool as it looked.

It only happened once.  I’ll give you a hint, it’s green.

We spread out our Thai smorgasbord and dug in.  And… within ten minutes , we were defeated by full bellies and June heat.

We chatted about how nice it would be to come back with a large group (i.e. larger smorgasbord) when it cools down – cool enough weather that it wouldn’t be torture ordering soup!  But we later established that if we are craving Thai Temple any time soon, that bathing suits are a must so we can dive in the pool the second we get home.
