Lazing on a Saturday afternoon, part deux

Today is going to be a very lazy day; it’s rainy, damp, and just the perfect day for sitting on the couch with a mug of tea and reading. So that’s what I’m going to do (especially since I spent nearly all of yesterday running around!).

Yesterday was great though. My mom and I met up for lunch at a cute little restaurant called The Elbow Room and I had the best grilled chicken sandwich. Ever. I didn’t get a picture of it, but I’ll try to describe it the best I can: A French bread roll with chicken breast, pine nut and basil pesto, aged cheddar cheese, grilled tomatoes, and arugula (all with a side of balsamic salad greens). It was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. After lunch we did some shopping and we stopped in a store called Ten Thousand Villages: I bought some orangic Irish breakfast tea that I’m super excited to try. We also went into a tiny little kitchen store and bought a tea diffuser so I can start buying better quality, loose teas.

Later that night, we stopped at Whole Foods. It was my first time in any Whole Foods so I was absolutely in awe. My mom treated me with some groceries to bring back to VA. She bought me:

• 2 types of Whole Foods brand trail mix
• A few Clif Bars and Luna bars
• Peanut butter granola!
• Amy’s Butternut squash soup/Southwestern veggie soup
• Honey vanilla white chai tea
• Apple cinnamon spice tea

We also got some Greek yogurt and fruit for a “dinner snack” before we headed off for our evening adventures. It was great to experience Whole Foods  but it really left me wishing that I didn’t have to grocery shop at Walmart!

Breakfast

I was starving when I woke up this morning but I could not decide what I wanted. I wanted something sweet, but not cereal. I wanted something carb-y, but not bread or an English muffin. So I settled on a Chocolate almond fudge Clif bar, a banana, and a glass of skim milk. Thankfully it hit the spot. I don’t like to just randomly snack on Clif bars but it was perfect for this morning.
