Happy 27th Birthday to Caitlin!!
and
Happy 28.5th Birthday to ME!!!
Yep. Today is my half birthday! Wheeee! 26 is the best number.
In honor, I ran 4 miles and walked .26 to celebrate. It was hot. Thank goodness I made myself take my Camelbak. Couldn’t have done it without water.
Lunch was particularly great today
Fried egg on spinach feta toast. You know, as much as I think I like runny eggs, I was very glad this was not runny. So much easier to eat when it was 90% cooked through!
Carrots + apples
And salad with cranberries and walnuts
Lime bubbles!
Afternoon beckons…

I had a huge KERFalicious style salad for lunch today… yum. But now I think I’m craving eggs…. dinner?

Love that cloth — so perfect with the limewater
I have a thing about numbers too — only mine are 21 and 37. That’s the time unit I use for everything! (Microwaving something? = 1 minute and 37 seconds, etc.) Does this make me OCD, or just bizarre? Ha 
I love this. I can be that way, too! I set my alarm clock for *the* most bizarre times. 6:13 AM? You betcha!
Happy Half Birthday!
I love the matching lime slice with the towel. How cute.
Runny eggs are the best!
Happy Half Birthday!
I think Caitlin is 27 though that’s what her post this morning said.
Your lunch looks delicious!
Thank you!! I had 26 on the brain
Happy Half-Birthday! I love a great fried egg
! Food looks great!
Delicious lunch! I love cranberries on salads, especially combined with pecans!
Have a great afternoon!
That lunch looks incredible! Love that egg, and those carrots are perfectly sliced. Have a wonderful afternoon!
Nice way to honor Caitlin .. .26 miles walk! Happy half birthday to you! I celebrate mine too.. people think I am weird!
Lime bubbles on a lime table linen…beautiful!
The eggs make me want to start eating eggs again. I have a sudden craving b/c yours look great!
Enjoy your afternoon, Kath
You have an amazing way of making eggs on toast look so exciting!! Have a good afternoon Kath!
Celebrating a half birthday – I need to start doing that!
Have a lovely afternoon
Happy Half Birthday!!
I wish I liked eggs.
I adore your water with bubblessss!
Is that just a simple spring mix for the salad?
Yes
I love the idea that you celebrate a 1/2 birthday…like we did as kids. That half a year made a big difference. Love all your food combinations. I’ve been eating more eggs at dinner with lots of veggies due to your pics which shows what a good combo it is….delicious!
Happy Half Birthday!
I love runny eggs, too. Can’t stand dry, overcooked yolks!
I just ate a salad with a big raw egg cracked on top SUPER runny and so good. Beautiful pictures.
Happy half birthday!
Happy Half-Birthday! You didn’t want to run 28.5 miles in celebration?! LOL!
Your photos make me want a front porch so bad! Not really possible in a high-rise!
I am definitely a runny yolk fan, because then you can use the yolk like a condiment or dressing for your salad etc
Good luck with all of your work!
Loooving all of the colors on your lunch plate. That egg just pops!
I’m all about some cranberries and walnuts on my salad. Did you add dressing?
Sometimes I find the toppings are enough for me – No dressing needed.
That eggy looks tasty! The sun is finally shining here in St. Louis – planning on taking a nice long walk with the hubs tonight!
Happy half-birthday. Enjoy all that sun!
My birthday is Christmas Day, so I celebrate my half-birthday religiously! June 25th baby!! This year I’ve asked for Adobe Lightroom
After school, I was so hungry so I just went to Corner backery instead make myself lunch.
I have should make my lunch!
I am still learning from kath!
thanks!
I am all about the egg lately! I am loving runny eggs though. I like it as my dressing.
Your lunch looks great! Love the bubblies
Spinach feta toast sounds amazing!
Awesome picture of the bubbles on the lime in the glass, and great plate of food!

thats so funny, one of my best friends celebrates her bday today, just like Caitlin ( i read her blog too) and I turned 17 and a half today! october 26th rules of course.
I love you blog by the way. I already tried your bean burgers and I loved them!
Nice job on the run! Loving all of these lunchtime salads lately
You give me ideas on how to spruce up my own 
Happy 1/2 Birthday and enjoy a foodie day =) It looks delicious -Jen
Happy Half Birthday! It’s exactly one week after my birthday today. Your lunch looks incredible! Very fresh and spring-like.
That egg looks perfect! Makes me hungry!!
Happy half birthday!
My half birthday changes each year! Technically, it should be February 30 (my birthday is August 30), but since that day doesn’t exist, it’s either March 1 or 2 depending on Leap Year
Awesome run! Gorgeous salad, perfect spring colors.
oh how wonderfully gooey does that egg look!
I went to Great Harvest for the first time today! Perhaps I am celebrating your half birthday! Or just celebrating my Groupon! I am sooooo excited! I told the owner about you and loved that she was kneading dough all the while.
!!!!!!!
I asked the cashier if she ate a lot of bread, she gave me the biggest smile. I was instantly jealous. Then she proceeded to let me know that after every shift they’re allowed to take a loaf home! My jealousy skyrocketed! I think I need a “will work for bread” t-shirt!
Happy half! That egg looks so cute and delicious.
Happy 28.5 to you…and to ME TOO! Holla for being born on 10/26/82.
NO WAY!! Love that!
…AND, I’m a grad student at Duke right now. I know you’re a big fan!
Happy HALF!! I love eggs SO much
Spinach and feta toast sounds amazing! Is it a GH loaf?
Yep!
I’m drooling over that fried egg and fresh bread!!
Turning 30 this year – and totally undergoing a “thrisis” (almost thirty year life crisis…) – y’know what I have done with my life, etc. The usual
Happy 1/2 B-Day!
God – runny eggs – so good!

(P.S Is the bread GH as well? That’s a great variety of flavors).
So you prefer a camelback to a hydration belt? Does your back get hot?
I haven’t tried a belt, but I can promise you I would HATE anything around my waist!! It doesn’t get hot
I wear a belt and it is super annoying- good to know they don’t get hot, thanks!
Happy half birthday!!
I think more people need to celebrate their 1/2 birthdays! Oddly enough, I was searching your archives today for something and I came across your post from last year’s 1/2 birthday.
Was that in the new thumbnail links?
I LOVE when eggs are cooked all the way through. SO easy to eat!
Also just wanted to let you know — my hubby is getting out of the AF in a few months and we’re looking at buying into the Great Harvest franchise — your blog has been SUCH a help with the decision (which still has not been made yet).
Oh how fun!!!! Good luck!!!!!!
How exciting…if today is your half-b-day, then tomorrow must be mine! I can always count on you to remind me to engage in some celebratory enthusiasm when our birthdays/halves arrive!
Haha – Happy Half!
And happy 26th to me! I like that my half birthday is your birthday. =0)
Indeed!
I’m always so paranoid about not cooking my eggs long enough, but that one looks good!
Your half birthday is My birthday! That means your birthday is my half.. Of course, at 45, I stopped counting birthdays about 16 years ago.
Happy half birthday!
And happy Bday!
Everyone deserves some good lime bubbles on their 1/2 birthday!
26 is definitely the best day for birthdays. May 26 over here
Hi Kath,
Just wanted to leave a comment to say that I recently discovered your blog, and I’m enjoying following your food escapades. My brother lives in Cville and works at the 2nd Street gallery-where you went on Friday! I live in Boston, but your seeing all of your lovely meals keeps me inspired
Oh fun!! We love Second Street Gallery!
My birthday is today and I remember you are also a 26th baby! Happy half birthday to you Kat
Happy Bday!!
April 26th is my half birthday too! Birthday buddies!
Whoooo!
Great looking lunch! As simple as eggs are, they always hit the spot! I seem to be eating egg-whites every day, such an easy souce of protein!
I should have known that you’d be celebrating your half birthday too! Whenever I read your blog I remember that we’re birthday buddies – happy half!
I’m 22.2 today!
To you too!
