All’s Well That Ends Well

Ay yi yi – craziness this afternoon! Lots of minor things one after another.

Dinner-8Blog

First, our air conditioner at the bakery failed. Talk about a toasty room! All the while I was updating our website with the September menu and because the program we have to use is ancient all of the formatting messed up. Huge huge afternoon killer headache. I still can’t get it to look right in Chrome. Anyone have any clue what is off!?

Matt sent me home because I was hogging the computer and could work on mine so he could have his. I said goodbye to dear sweet Hannah, who is leaving us to go back to U Penn this week 🙁 See you for Christmas Hannah!

HannahBlog

 

Once home I reached into the mailbox to find THAT BEE in the mailbox waiting for me! [Our real mailbox]. Luckily I just brushed him around and there was no stinging. Maybe he wants to be friends?

I went down the basement steps – ever cautious looking for bugs. Saw a giant camel cricket in my pathway to the tomato sauce. Dinner plans averted..

Then I tried to burn the house down! Coconut oil is supposed to have a high smoke point, but for some reason tonight my whole house was smokin’?!

FireBlog

But dinner turned out fabulous anyways!

IMG_6495-2Blog

Made up on the spot!!

Eggplant Parm turned into roasted eggplant with salmon, salad, peas and bread

IMG_6503-2Blog

The bread was the best part. GAH Cville Crunch is so doughy!!

IMG_6492-2Blog

I only had one piece of salmon that I had frozen, so Matt and I had to share it:

IMG_6498-2Blog

Simple salad with olive oil, honey, salt and avocado

IMG_6500-2Blog

The eggplant was tossed in coconut oil and smoked paprika and salt and roasted at 400* for about 25 minutes.

And the peas…how could anyone not like peas!? I think my childhood hatred had much more to do with psychology than taste. Adults teach kids that vegetables are a requirement. And if they say they are delicious they imply deception. Also, I think knowing they’re good for me makes them taste even better!

IMG_6490-2Blog

Usually food is flying around the kitchen when Matt comes home, but tonight I managed to do all the photograph (!!) and do ALL the dishes…

IMG_6513-2Blog

And had everything all ready to go – husbandly beer included! [John, the Long Trails are delicious!]

Dinner2Blog

Still listening to Brad <3. Did you know I touched his hand TWICE when I saw him at the NC State Fair in the year 2000? He was just becoming famous and I was standing in the front row. My, was he cute.

If you haven’t ever listened to Brad Paisley, listen to these:

  • Online
  • I’m Still A Guy
  • I’m Gonna Miss Her [watch the video for some Annie Banks action!]
  • Wrapped [Old skool!]

Off to have a whiskey lullaby…

    Online is the best. 😉 I saw Brad Paisley in concert when I still wasn’t sure I liked country music and it pushed me over the edge- love it now!

    I almost burned my house down with coconut oil once too- turns out my pan was dirty. 😉 {Chris was clearly in charge of the dishes that week!}

    I love peas! I don’t ever remember not liking them… although I’m sure I didn’t care for them when I was a tot. I work with kids and try to instill healthy and adventurous eating habits in them… “my kids” eat tomatoes and avocados, dates, zucchini, granola, and smoothies with spinach in them. Gotta start somewhere! 🙂

    I’m just getting ready to make my dinner (just reheating my Baked Ratatouille – so delish!)

    My aversion to peas was due to the canned variety. Gritty, salty, mush. But a frozen pea is heavenly, and oh my, a fresh pea? WOW.

    Dinner looks simple and delicious. We love peas here, my kids (4 & 5) have always loved them and they know they are delicious and nutritious. Was the coconut oil refined or unrefined? Is it the unrefined that has the higher smoking point? Love, love, love smoked paprika! I just bought a new South African smoke paprika grinder at TJs that is wonderful. BTW, it was very nice of you to share the salmon with Matt.

    Ok, I am going to nerd up all the food talk. 🙂

    It is sticking out further to the right in Chrome because of the tags around the text in the News section. The font is much bigger in Chrome than in Firefox, which is what I looked at it in originally… specifically the Breadcast #2 news item is pushing the table out to be 576 px wide instead of 500 that is on the enclosing table. The tag has a special white-space property by default that prevents the text from word wrapping. You can change it with CSS, but easiest is probably to just close the tags after the label text instead of after each link.

            Hmm, I notice that the store hours render differently in Chrome (centered in the space of the entire orange background rather than the middle portion of the page only). I thought that was what you were talking about when I looked at the page, but it sounds like there was a different issue. If you wanted to left-align that info on Chrome so it doesn’t float out of the middle space, there are two spots in the code that if you switch it from ” align=”center” ” to left, it moves over. Hope that’s not too confusing…

    Brad Paisley bought my childhood home in Nashville from my parents… Not for the house, but because the land backed up to his property. I imagine his kids running all over it and playing in my old playhouse. It’s my claim to fame! I remember being more excited at the time that his wife, star of Father of the Bride, would be living there than I was about Brad himself.

    And peas. I love them but I think many people who don’t like them are eating canned, horrible, mushy, or overcooked peas that have the color of split pea soup meets something awful. I can write a few things but will refrain. The ones you have..the VIBRANT green ones, those are amazing.

    Kids and veggies…I have a veggie loving kid. If she didn’t eat them, she’d be in big trouble since we’re a plant-based house 🙂

    Eating peas just makes me want to eat a STEAK! There are some foods that make me feel *hungrier* and like I’m not getting the right nutrients or enough food. I feel that way when I eat a lot of things I ate frequently as a vegan – it’s both interesting and annoying to me 😛

    Have to share my Brad Paisley stories/connection. So Brad Paisley grew up a street over from where my mom lives now. His dad worked with my dad. He gave an elementary school friend guitar lessons, and he came to our elementary school for a special concert! (All before he was big, of course.) Now the street he lived on has been renamed “Brad Paisley Blvd” and the sign entering the town boasts “Home of Brad Paisley.” I have to say though, may favorite celeb from my area, who I’ve met, has to be John Corbett. Hubba, hubba. I’m still very happy for Brad, and I feel a lot of hometown pride whenever someone mentions him.

    Hey Kath,
    Long time reader, first time commenter. Thought I should let you know, as a native of the Bay Area, that your use of the word “hella” is a little inaccurate. First of all, it is a word generally used only by people from the Bay Area. Secondly, it usually precedes a noun (or at least not before an adjective like “incredible”). Another example that stands out, you wrote: “Hella, killer hills had me walking at times to catch my breath, but I survived.” Incorrect usage! But come to think of it, no matter how you use it, it just doesn’t sound quite right 🙂
    Dinner looks great!

      Hella is used by people all over this country, thank you.

      And it sees it has lots of uses: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hella

      “First of all, it is a word generally used only by people from the Bay Area.”

      Ummm, lol, oh really? I would love to see your source for that information since I live in Oregon and this word is used a lot… and my cousins on the east coast say it as well.

      I just think its hilarious that anyone would think a slang word is used only in THEIR area 😀

    I love Brad too, ever since I saw him at our county fair. I just discovered I really like peas , only not canned ones.

    I just listened to Brad for the first time (I’m Still a Guy)… and I love it! I think I’m going to have to be late for going to the gym so that I can sit here and listen to more of his songs. 😛

    That unfriendly “bee” hanging out in the mail is a wasp, not one of the lovely lady bees that make us delicious honey. If you’d like to free yourself from this pest without using any nasty bug sprays, mix a little dish soap and water in a spray bottle and give him a couple squirts. You’ll fear the mailbox no more. Love, love, love your blog – keep up the great work!

    I’ve always been curious. How much do you get to decide the menu of breads and sandwiches you do vs. what the company does as a whole?

    Just noticed a tiny typo in the menu, I’m assuming “ye ole favorite Oat Berry Muffuin” should be “ye olde favorite Oat Berry Muffin”. Unless you meant it that way and I’m just the loser who doesn’t know what a muffuin is 🙂 Everything sounds delicious!

        Of course I made a typo in my comment about a typo – doh! I love the use of “ole”, I just meant to point out the spelling of “muffuin” as I thought that looked off. But maybe you meant it that way!

    Kath – just catching up on some of your posts I missed. My son goes to UPenn too! He’s in the doctoral program – love to visit the city of Brotherly Love. If he didn’t already have a girlfriend – I think Hannah would be perfect for him.
