Directionally Challenged....

That would be me.  

Apparently I'm awful at giving directions.  I had my Weed & Wine group tonight, I thought I given good directions on the spot we would be at... nope.  Just about done I round the corner and find some of my weeding crew there!  Oopsie.   From now on I'm doing a Google Map of the location we are at!  Also, I'm taking before and after pictures.... I always seem to think of that AFTER we are done!!

Any how.... the day's eats

SNACK this morning

-sandwich thin w/ Bee's Knees Peanut Butter

-camera shy green tea

LUNCH

I headed home to walk Reggie and make a salad full of Crop Share veggies!

-romaine, spinach, green bell peppers, tomatoes, leftover turkey burger, dried cranberries, walnuts, little parmesan cheese and some TJ balsamic vinaigrette.  very good. very good.

Plugged on through my work day, conference calls, millions of email, little road race planning on the side.....

SNACK 

love snack time.  :)

-peach Chobani w/ maybe 1/4 cup of Kashi Heart to Heart

-lots o' water
After work, I headed home to walk Reggie and then was off to weed downtown with my crew.... my lost crew..... thanks to me.  BUT we did weed two areas instead of one!!   

No one was up for wine after.....  :(   

What is wrong with these people??!!  

All work and no play!

So I headed home and made dinner.  BUT while I was out I had the owner of a restaurant I used to work at holler out to me that an old co-worker was in town.  So the hubby and I will be venturing out shortly to grab a beverage and catch up with my old work bud. 

DINNER

I hate getting the house hot with a stove, so it was another grill night.... 

-cod w/ fresh lemon, lemon zest, panko crumbs, seafood seasoning, little EVOO wrapped in foil

-crop share potatoes w/ EVOO, salt, pepper and garlic wrapped in foil

-crop share tomato & basil salad w/ EVOO and balsamic vinegar

The tomatoes ROCKED!!!  So so so good!  

Fortunately our farm hasn't been hit by the late blight, but they are being cautious and cutting back the plants earlier than normal.  So sad, all those poor yummy tomatoes. 

Well the hubby is ready to go, so we are going to walk into town to meet up with everyone.  I LOVE being able to walk into town. Plus it appears to be a gorgeous night, cooling off a bit.  :)

Have a great evening!!

Overly ambitious.....

Me??   Never.  ;)

Man yesterday whooped my behind.  Was up way past midnight too, so no blogging. 

Recap of mid-morning on. 

Prerequisite coffee....

LUNCH

-after leaving work to sell my car, sniff sniff, I had little time to make lunch..... so I hit up the cafeteria at work

-whole wheat wrap, chicken salad, loaded with veggies and sweet pickles.  side of carrot sticks.

-SoBe Lifewater.... I was feeling a tad dehydrated but needed something more than just water, was actually relatively light & refreshing in taste

SNACK

-randomly some of the office assistants were going around with popsicles, so I grabbed one, yum!

After work I hit the grocery store for those forgotten items, as well as the local wine store for some required vino for the night. 

Then it was home to prep food.  I was definitely overly ambitious and kind of scatterbrained in my planning.  I should have kept it to much simpler items than I originally planned, but in the end that is what I ran with... the simple stuff.  After prepping, I cleaned up the kitchen, changed and walked downtown for the concert.  

The park was PACKED, which is great!  I met up with some friends there and plopped down on my blanket to enjoy the music, the weather and catching up with friends. 

I also had a summer treat.... haven't had nearly enough this summer.  Ice Cream!  (well technically frozen yogurt)

Annabelle's Purple Cow- black raspberry ice cream w/ regular & white chocolate chunks. yum

A friend also had some fresh blueberries & blackberries so I added those too!

I left the concert just before the end to start setting things up and finishing prepping a few items.  I was running around so much I forgot to snap a picture.  Luckily Elizabeth of Our Life is Delicious was a good food blogger and snapped a picture of the spread!  Thank you E!

Spread of Munchies Included (this is what I can remember right now)

-quinoa salad I made last night

-chocolate chip cookies (also made last night)

-skewers of : tomato, mozzarella & basil

                        roasted red peppers, mozzarella & basil

                        cantaloupe & prosciutto

                        prosciutto & mozzarella

-grilled chicken sausage- italian & buffalo chicken

-guacamole - avocado, tomato & lime juice

-tortilla chips

-whole wheat pita

- classic hummus  (was going to make my own, but ran out of time)

-baba ghannouj

I snacked on stuff all night, I really should have made a plate but just didn't get around to it.  I mainly stuck to the mozzarella, tomato & basil, pita & hummus and a couple of cookies. 

My neighbor brought some fixings for Dark & Stormies.... Ginger Beer & Gosling's Black Rum.  I had a couple small Dark & Stormies and then a glass of Vouvray.  

We finally hit the hay around 2am!!  Ack!

I slept soundly till 8am.  So nice.  Then got ready to meet the in-laws for breakfast.  

I opted for pancakes covered in berries and an iced coffee.  Yum!  I ate maybe 3/4 of this.  I was HUNGRY. 

My mother-in-law is a poached egg eater, but fussy about it.  So the breakfast place made two batches, waitress brought out both.  She offered us the other ones my mother-in-law didn't have so I had one poached egg.  Figured the protein would be good.  :)

So with all the craziness yesterday I didn't get my run in.  :(   But today is my rest day and I'm sticking to it!

I sort of invited myself over to a friend's house to use the pool and now they are having a pool party!  See what happens when I come over someone's house, a party breaks out.  ;)  

So I think I'll wrap up some of my left overs & some of the food I didn't get around to prepping last night.  I have some great toasted french bread for a mixed olive bruschetta I got at Trade Joe's that I must bring!  

Enjoy the day and stay cool!
