Around 10:30, midway through a project, I looked outside and it was pretty and I got the urge to bike away ASAP. So I did! I usually push my workout back as far as possible so I can get as much done in the morning as I can (my most productive hours), but I have to say, it was so nice to be at the gym and not feel rushed by my hungry stomach and clock.
I actually did some hard-core weight lifting!! Imagine that.
Plus 30 minutes on the Stairmaster, which I really enjoyed.
I need to learn to plan my day better so I’m not rushing/hungry. Since my classes this semester start at 2PM, I probably will move my workouts back an hour to today’s timeline, so hopefully that will help. I just need to start getting up at 6:00 to get that hour back!
Lunch was fabulous and a mystery because it’s for my next Mushroom Channel post – should be posted soon!
I really enjoy having more "dinnery" foods for lunch, so I should plan that in more.
Munchy flax chips!
Since I ate lunch at 12:30 instead of 1:30, I’m sure I’ll be needing a larger snack. I’m already excited!!

Our kitchen is a beer factory at the moment – the boys are bottling their latest brew.
So for dessert I had a few sips of an India Brown Ale comparison tasting 
Dogfish Head India Brown Ale vs. Terrapin India Brown Ale.
DOGFISH WON!! It was richer and more roasted with a fuller body. Terrapin was too bitter for me.

I’m lucky to be going to BlogHer Food in September thanks to Nasoya and The Mushroom Channel‘s sponsorship, but after reading the details of the FoodBuzz Blogger Festival, I’ve got to find a way to attend both!! Anyone want to negotiate!?

Back to work!

I was just researching flights for the foodbuzz festival. It looks awesome!
I Foodbuzz festival does look awesome!! I wish I could go but I don’t think it’s gonna happen with work..
Where do you buy those flax chips and what brand are they. they look amazing!
I love the beer-filled kitchen. I’m worried for the day my fiance decides he wants to homebrew… It’s only a matter of time…. And then our house will be a beer factory too!
I’ve been having “dinnery” foods for lunch since I switched to working afternoons/evenings and it’s kinda weird for me!
I love having dinnery type foods for lunch. The foodbuzz festival sounds like so much fun! I’m not sure I’ll be able to go though because of work!
I checked out the Foodbuzz festival looks great! WOW! I love that you did a beer tasting at home…and I love the Sam Adams glass. I have a bunch from the Brewery Tours!
i want to go to the foodbuzz fest too… omg.
homemade beer! very cool!

As a University of Maryland alum, I really want to try Terrapin beer!!
I eat dinner food for lunch most of the time…it fits better with my working 3-11pm schedule.
I recommend it!
love the beer at lunch, and I like dinner-y foods better, too.
I know! I really want to go to the Foodbuzz Blogger festival, but the flights would just be too much for me. Hotel I could handle, but that + flights.
hehehe! i just signed up for foodbuzz fest!! i’m so stoked. We are researching flights now too…ugh so expensive!
SF is where it’s AT! I want to go to that festival and I am blogless.
Hmm, what could you trade for a stay in my guest room?
I could so use some beer! I would love to go to SF as well!
haha beer for a lunchtime dessert sounds like a fantastic idea!
I’m trying to find a way out to the foodbuzz fest too!
Since I’m in the market for a new dining room table, I just noticed how cute yours is! Where did you get it? We need to downsize from our 6 seater to a 4 seater.
Just had to say that flax chips are so so so good. We could eat them all day.
is terappin named after the grateful dead “terappin station”? matt’s looking a bit hippie-ish in his tye-dye….
Foodbuzz blogger festival – sounds awesome! I’m sure you’ll figure out a way to fit everything in.
I’m jealous of your schedule. I can’t wait until i don’t have to work an 8-5 job anymore!
I actually like dinnery foods for breakfast. I’m not much of a “breakfast foods” person, so I’ve been known to eat pasta for breakfast. Hey, there’s no rules against it!
hehe

yumm! can’t wait to see the secret mushroom recipe. dinnery foods for lunch is always a nice way to add some excitement mid day
aww a brewing factory. your life is too cute!
How fun! That’s cute that they both have 2 beers each.
Those chips are amazing!! They’re the Food Should Taste Good ones, right? LOVE them.
Lunch looks yummy!
K
your lunch looks awesome! when I saw your post I was like is it dinner yet?!? haha.. i realized it was lunch!
Mushrooms are one of my favorite veggies -they’re so good and versatile, and there are so many different varieties of them!
I’d love to just be able to go to ONE of them
I totally love “dinnery foods” for lunch too… esp if they are in the form of a leftover most delish dinner from the night before. Nothin’s better than enjoyin it twice right?! Esp to make the humdrum work day go by (I’m a CPA, k?) ha!
Kath, it’s so amazing all of the opportunities that you have had that have come through blogging. So cool!
Good job on the hard-core lifting! So important for women to know that it will only benefit them!

beer sounds like a great dessert for a friday afternoon!
If you come to that I can see you!
Yay for lifting. You should post your lifting workout since so many women don’t do weights (or don’t do them properly) so I think that would be helpful for them.
I’ll be in SF that weekend for a wedding anyway, and doubt I will be able to get away, but I registered just in case – hoping I get to go to at least a bit of it!
those chips look tasty!
those flax chips look yummy! your hubby and his friend are so funny brewin up beer in the kitchen! haha.

My lifting is so sporadic even I don’t remember. 10 of this, 15 of that, but I will try to remember the next time I do something cool. I am so scatterbrained with lifting.
