Bagel, Pasta, Bread

by admin on February 28, 2010

Today was full of carbs! And everything was delicious :)

While I was out shopping yesterday, I picked up 2 (Locally made!) whole wheat everything bagels for us to have for breakfast today. Now that we ate them, I’m sad I didn’t buy more!

I had some provolone + scrambled egg on my bagel, and Nick and I split a cara cara orange. I also had some coffee in his new Spain mug :)

It was a good start to the day except for one thing: I somehow forgot to wash my hair while I was in the shower! I don’t know what happened – maybe I was still asleep in there? I got my hair wet…I just never picked up my shampoo.

So…that was fun when I was trying to do my hair and wondering why my bangs were being weird or why the rest of my hair just felt strange. By the time I figured out what happened, we had to leave for church so I just pinned my bangs back and headed out.

We had some errands to run after church, so I brought my hat to put on and I’m glad I did – it’s been freezing here today! There’s been little snow flurries all day, and the temps really haven’t gotten out of the 30s at all this weekend.

Our errands were pretty fun, but I felt like we were on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to find  a new collar for Maggie, a good dog bed, and a silicon bread pan (which I still have to go back and buy).

By the time we got home to eat lunch, it was 2 pm and we were both pretty hungry.

I heated up the last of that spicy pasta from the other night and had some romaine + ranch dressing.

Even with the cold weather, we took Maggie up to the park near our house for a while this afternoon. It wouldn’t have been so bad out there but it was much windier at the park than it was at our house.

The good thing is that we walked up to the park and back, so we got in about 2.5 miles of walking today! And Maggie had fun running around and playing fetch, so I’m glad we went and got her out of the house.

The rest of the day has been filled with making 2 new loaves of sourdough (so good!) and finishing laundry.

We just finished eating dinner – leftover chipotle beans and homemade bread!

Nick and Maggie are playing with one of her new toys, and the last load of laundry just finished in the dryer – I’ve got just enough time to fold the laundry and get a snack before Iron Chef! Perfect timing ;)

Well, our timing was off AND the game got postponed, so the Hokie basketball game is on right now! I’ve got to hurry – we’re in the 2nd overtime and it’s a crazy game! The inspiration for my dinner tonight came from 101cookbooks.com. While my pictures may not be as pretty as Heidi’s (I had [...]

I should have seen it coming. Anytime Katie has a pancake challenge, I’m in! And since this is our first real weekend home from the trip, I had the time and ingredients to get in the kitchen to make them. For my pancake roll-ups, I made S’mores with sourdough pancakes I think these rival everything [...]

It’s Friday! I’m SO happy it’s the weekend – we don’t have any big plans, but I’m ready for a break from work. It’s so hard going back to the office after a vacation, and this week was really tough for me. Nick and I had a fun little lunch date in my office today! [...]

We got more snow last night! By the time we got up this morning, we had about 3 inches of new snow, so all the grass I could finally see in the yard is now covered again. At least I had some natural light this morning with my breakfast! It may be snowing, but spring [...]

On top of it just being the biggest museum I’d ever visited, they had a huge collection of Velazquez paintings, rooms full of [...]

I love having different spices in the house. I actually won this in a BSI prize package last year, but haven’t used it in a while. As soon as I saw this recipe for Broccoli and Sweet Potato Bhaji on Spice’s website, I knew I had to make it. I’m so glad I won this [...]

I’m officially a yoatgurt fan! Janetha, you’re a genius I’ve been seeing this breakfast all over the place lately, and I finally bought some more greek yogurt this past weekend just so I could try it. My first bowl of yoatgurt was pretty simple, but delicious! 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, pinch salt, cinnamon [...]
