All’s Well That Ends Well

My day ended with this:

So how it started is no longer important!

I was a grouch. I was really tired. I don’t know what was up! Perhaps the fact that I didn’t get too much activity today.

Instead of yoga, I made labels! [Labelmaker on sale for $14.99 at Staples!]

And ate Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars. I’m just not in love with these bars. Sorry Kath!

I am in love with our army of local honey bears! They are now friends with Beaker, Bocker + Churton. That is…until they are adopted by the locals.

The Tiger LOVED my grandmother’s oriental rug! He must have smelled Smotey and Murph and all the kitties of ages past.

This evening I perked up with some IPA

And some veggies

And Faith + Tate!

We had a last-minute impromptu joint dinner. I love joint dinners! Combining ingredients and labor makes everything easier and fun!

I was the grillmaster – zucchini, salt, pepper, olive oil and smoked paprika

Matt was the beer master. Duh.

Faith worked on the beans – a can of refried pintos from Whole Foods mixed with homemade black beans and some herbs, cayenne, cumin and salt

We piled the beans, veggies, and Faith’s HOMEMADE CHEESE (she made it this afternoon with grass-fed milk and a special technique that I know nothing about but admire her so for!)

Toppings included greek yogurt and Cholula. We served them on crispy corn tortillas – also from Whole Foods – that I keep in my freezer for last-minute dinners. I grilled them and they got crispy so we were able to break off pieces and eat the tostadas like nachos! Loved this dinner!

Faith + Tate jumped up enthusiastically and without hesitation after dinner at the suggestion of “Let’s go for a walk!!” The evening had turned from stormy to beautiful! We hiked around the neighborhood for a good 40 minutes until settling into Francesca’s final slice of Tiramisu and a few cookies I had frozen from Cville Market’s bulk bins.

Faith and I had a mini Gossip Girl love fest oogling over our favorite episodes, characters and songs. The finale episode was wonderful – best of this season!!

I’m off to read my book – Matt’s got the alarm set early because he is BAKING tomorrow!!

  3. What happens to the ‘test’ breads that you guys make before opening up? I will gladly take some bread off your hands. 🙂

  7. Getting in a lot of activity and moving around really does affect someone’s mood. I think we just get used to keeping active and when we aren’t it’s mentally and physically difficult on us.

  13. I also have a label maker addiction. I use it to label all my pantry jars. Except mine is very old timey and I have to use all the power my hand musclez to punch in each letter. O-A-T-S. B-U-C-K-W-H-E-A-T. I could go on… 😉

  21. I made the oatmeal bars today and I think they were too salty for me! Need to add some chocolate or jam, but then I guess they become more desserty and less breakfasty…

  28. Oooh, I watched half of the GG finale over breakfast… and I’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the rest as I’m at a gospel concert tonight!

  29. Dang it, I’m really wishing I was current on GG. I’m still on last season when Chuck lost and then regained his hotel! My priorities are out of whack 😉

  30. Faith + Tate seem like such a great couple- so similar to you and Matt! That dinner is the perfect example of synergy :)! The GH material looks great! Love how interactive you both already are with the community.

    • Almost all GH have at least 1 day off – some have 2. We have to have a rest day, and that’s the best day to do it

  37. Homemade cheese is amazing… a girl at my office makes it and sometimes brings in samples for everyone to try. She explained the process to me once but I can’t remember anything about it, except that it’s complicated lol.

  47. I hate the feeling of being unsatisfied or antsy during my day, but it definitelynhappens from time to time. Your day definitely turned around though! Everything w the store is coming along great 🙂 oh, and the beer doesn’t look half bad either.

  48. The newsletters and menus look great!! Everything is coming along so nicely in your store! I really need to come visit once it opens! 🙂

    I agree with you on the episode of Gossip Girl! It was definitely a good one! Oh and the ending! What a cliffhanger that was!!!! 🙂

  50. Some days are just grouchy ones. It happens to us all, and the best we can do is hope to cross paths with someone that can make us smile. Looks like you were so lucky!

  52. The newsletters looks fantastic and the pic of you and Matt is perfect. The more I keep reading your blog, and hearing about all this great bread from Great Harvest it makes me wish I were close to one so I could enjoy some of it. Especially, after seeing your Cinnamon Chip French Toast!
    Man that look ssoooooooo good.

  53. I finally watched the GG season finale last night and loved it, too!

    The bakery looks amazing! It appears to be fully functional! 🙂

  54. Interesting spices to add to the zucchini! When we grill zucchini, I put steak seasoning on it, olive oil. Grill and then add blue cheese or goat cheese to it. YUM.
