Normal (ish?)
November 14, 2009 | Filed in: Uncategorized

Sup Homies!  :razz:  

It’s been brought to my attention (Hi Timmy Ferg!!!) that my “male demographic” (all 10 of you – thanks!!) may be offended by greetings like “Hello my beauties” or “Hello my lovelies”.  I sincerely apologize.  :razz:   In the future, I will do my best to great ya’ll in a non-gender specific fashion.   How’d I do today?  :wink:

So things are back to normal(ish?). I  really have to laugh at myself…. :lol: I think I know why I don’t travel more often.  It takes me at least a week to get back into the swing of things!  I mean – seriously?  :shock:   A week to recovery from a 4 day trip?  Lame!  :razz:

So in order to get you caught up (and to remind myself, that this is, in fact, a food blog, and not just a blog where I post pictures of: my awesome trip & things Lando destroys – let’s recap this week!  :grin:

I ate: 

Ice cream – always a good idea to help you get back on track after a weekend of indulgence:

My butter friends:

11.11fromupload 310

Diet Coke (“Holiday” cans are out!! That makes me :mrgreen: ):

11.11fromupload 312

Randomly scraped together meals with what is left in my fridge:

11.11fromupload 314

PB&J that made me think “Stink Eye”:

11.11fromupload 317 11.11fromupload 319

Rice Krispie Treats with Reese Pieces (pronounce Ree-cees Pee-Cees):

11.11fromupload 320

Pasta Slim Eggplant Parmesan “thing”:

11.11fromupload 325 

PB Jar Oatmeal with candy bars (again – the definition of “healthy”) :razz:

11.11fromupload 337 11.11fromupload 338  

One normal meal!!!!!  :shock:

11.13fromupload 045 

Immediately balanced out by a mass amount of Red Vines:

11.13fromupload 049

Washed down with some beautiful Christmas Ale when I got home (MY FIRST OF THE SEASON!  OHHH HOW I MISSED YOU CHRISTMAS ALE!) 

11.13fromupload 050

and then yesterday, proceeded to eat out, not once…11.13fromupload 008

…but twice. :eek:

11.13fromupload 010

Ya win some, ya lose some, ya know?!  :wink:   Here’s to next week!  :lol:

Tomorrow – I promise I’ll have a normal post up – as well as an update on how the Thanksgiving Challenge is going over here in the GDW household!  :grin:

For now, I leave you with a picture that cracks me up.  My friend Ang came over to bake – and Lando spent roughly 40 minute – right there.  Silly pup!  :grin:

Happy Weekend!!!

I LOVE that all the Christmas beers are coming out! I need to stock my beverage fridge this weekend!

Love Lando – my dog does the same thing, always waiting for me to spill, which I normally do!

Have a great weekend chica!

YEAH!! YOU GOT SOME!! I’m happy for you. Nick and I have already gone through two six packs, in one week. Good lord, that’s bad. We can’t do this all through the holidays!

Your oats in a jar look great, I love the candy bar addition.

I agree with you about traveling. It takes me a week, if not more, to get back in the swing of things. It’s usually worth it though!

That PBJ stink eye is the kind of stink eye I wouldn’t mind getting – yum!

Ree-Cees Pee-Cees is the ONLY way to say it! I need to try that beer!! I’m making a mental note. Don’t you love how you’re my alcohol pusher ;)

Oh wait until you see the “stink eye” we’ve had up in here today.

I want to come hang out with you and have such a casual and fun approach to food! You are my hero.

I never thought to put a candy bar in oatmeal. You just blew my mind. Thanks.

Even if you did eat out twice in one day, you got salads–and mad props for getting CHIPOTLE! (My fave!)

LOL Hey men are lovely too ;) They shouldn’t be offended.

Um takes me at least a week if not more to get back to healthy eating etc. after a vacation.

I totally want to try that ice cream, but afraid I will eat it all in one sitting. Yikes!

Hahah I always wondered what I could do with those little bread imperfections, but it looks like you’ve found a wonderful way to make up for the hole! hhahah I am also a fan of your candy oats. :P Although I might have been a little anal and wanted to chop up the candy into pieces so I can spread its flavor allllll over! Thanks for the idea hun!!

Your greek salad looks so good! I’m also totally intrigued by the Christmas Ale! I wonder if I can get my hands on some locally!

It is definitely hard to get back to a normal routine after being away. I don’t mind the Lando posts. Food is great and all, but cute puppies and kitties really get me!
