What did I tell you – it’s now 63 degrees outside!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like spring is putting up a fight to arrive early
Matt and I ran 5.0 miles this morning (me in cropped pants and no gloves!). Glorious weather. I always consider February the start of spring, even if it means we still have more snow to come. One warm day here and there is all I need to get excited.
And then the two of us met Karen for a lunch business meeting. We discussed sandwiches over sandwiches!
We were actually a party of four because this stink bug arrived as a stowaway on Matt’s shoulder!
We went to Cville Coffee, our new neighbor who also serves up some delicious lunch items.
I built my own! It came with: tons of hummus, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, sprouts, banana peppers and cranberry sauce (from the turkey + cranberry sandwich and it was great!)
The sandwich was awesome – especially the rosemary bread!
BYO water. I recently got this new KOR water bottle on Amazon when my Thermos one broke. This guy rocks.
We all shared a donut from Carpe Donuts (another neighbor!) for dessert. It was amazing – cakey and apple cidery. Makes me so excited for the farmer’s market this summer!
Back at home, sippin’ on mint tea. ‘Bout to get some work done online and take some photos for upcoming OpenSky stuff – including the bag photographed above! It’s recycled and fair trade and I am in love 🙂
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
I don’t start thinking about spring until March and even then, that’s a bit early as a native Michigander 🙂 I can’t imagine thinking about spring in February!
That stinkbug brings back bad memories from when I lived in Virginia (Lynchburg). They were ALL OVER the place! Those and ladybugs. I couldn’t stand it.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
What a great looking sandwich! Gorgeous pics too 🙂
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
It is really warm here in DC too (relatively speaking) but I can’t accept that spring is coming until all the snow is out of the way!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
What a great idea adding cranberry sauce!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Oooooh, I love the look of that sandwich! It reminds me of the “moist-maker” from Friends 🙂
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
Mmmm love doughnuts!
I wish our weather in Ontario were that nice. It just doesn’t stop snowing here!
[email protected] Sweet Life says

No way, girl! It is Snowmageddon up in hurr, I am so jealous I might explode. I can’t wait for the day I see the first flowers!:)
Kim @ girlevolving says
You are definitely from the south if February is the start of spring to you! February is the month of “is winter EVER going to end????” for me!
Lauren at KeepItSweet says
I can’t even tell you how jealous I am of your weather! Ah I’d love to be more than a few hours south right now!!
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Oh spring – I can’t wait! Spring = one step closer to finishing uni for EVER which I’m waaay too excited about 😛
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Still looks like winter here in NY, especially after the snow we got last night… and the night before. 😆
That sandwich looks AWESOME! I would have built the same thing. YUM 😀
Colleen says
I am so jealous of your weather, Kath. My arms and back are killing me from all of the shoveling I’ve been doing up here in MA. I need a break!!!
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
Okay…3 things…
First, I always think of February as the start of spring too.
Second, I like the bag you’re holding. A lot!
Third, you have NO idea how good your sandwich looks to me and how much I want one now!!
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
I am so jealous of your weather. It is 18 degrees here.
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
Ohh so jealous of that little bit of green…I honestly don’t know when I’ll see my yard next… That donut looks sooo good – I think my mouth actually watered. haha
Lindsey says
I also consider February the start of Spring, it most cases it usually up hill from here 🙂
MonsteRawr says
Our local apple orchard makes fresh, homemade apple cider doughnuts. They are *beyond* delicious.
That being said, I would gladly trade all the homemade apple cider doughnuts in the world for some of your 63 degree weather instead of our 23 degrees with three feet of snow.
Camille says
Amazing sandwich!!
lauren @ spiced plate says
Love the sprouts coming up! Outside my window, another blizzard is ripping its way through…I don’t know when I’ll get to plant my veggie garden this year!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
wow it’s almost as warm as it is in LA here!
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food says
The sandwich looks really good! Plus now I am craving a donut big time…
Linda says
Cville Coffee looks amazing, like so many other places you feature on your blog … my husband is taking me to Charlottesville on a valentine’s weekend trip, do you have any places that are a ‘must visit’?!
KathEats says
Check my Cville page – they are ALL good!
KathEats says
PS. If you tell me what you’re looking for I can be more specific!
Linda says
that list is great – how about … what is your favorite place to eat in Cville? Doesn’t matter the price tag. A place that highlights Cville, its locals, and its foods, from your point of view. Thanks so much for your suggestions!! By the way – thanks to your blog i now eat so much better and love almond butter (never thought to try it before – until I saw your amazing photos. Yum)
KathEats says
Mas, Tavola, Orzo, Mono Loco, C&O, The Local are all fabulous.
Linda says
Thanks so much! Enjoy the warm weather 🙂
Heather says
I love that waterbottle!
My husband just oogled that donut – I love donuts. I would never have thought to combine hummus and cranberry sauce – savory and sweet though. Love the idea!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Dang, I don’t know what looks better…the sandwich or the doughnut? YUM!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
I love that bag! Super adorable!!!
It was warm here today, but definitely very overcast. :/ But I’m excited and crossing my fingers that winter is behind us. 🙂
Anne @ butter and bear says
That sandwich looks delicious! Interesting combo, I never would have thought of that but now I want one:-)

Allison @ Happy Tales says
It was partly sunny and 65 here today in Charlotte! Although, the colder temps are already starting to settle in….
That sandwhich looks sooo good. I love any sandwhich that has banana peppers on it. I always ask for extra!!!
YAY SPRING!
Carrie H says
I wish I could consider February the beginning of spring! 🙂 It was -40* both yesterday and this morning when I woke up, no joke. That wasn’t even the “feels like” either. Yeesh.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says

Hey o – just an fyi – a few blogs on your blog roll are no longer active. It was kind of a bummer to click through. No big deal, just wanted you to know.

Krissy - Shiawase Life says
I went on a run today too! Yay warmness!!
That sandwich looked amazing…
Mandiee says
Wow, that’s such a cool looking water bottle! Your sandwich looks packed to the max and delicious, too. I’m sure your Great Harvest sandwiches at your bakery will be even better, though :).
Have a lovely day!
xox
Sarah says
Wowee that sandwich looks so good, i love cranberry sauce!
Cute water bottle too 🙂
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
Oh I can’t wait until our farmers market opens back up!

Still digging out here in Chicago but dreaming about your 63 degrees!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Your sandwich sounds great – but I’m totally craving that cake donut right now! 🙂
Laura says
Brace yourself hon….I don’t think that weather is going to last. Two/three days before we got a foot of snow dumped on us here in OKC….it was 76 degrees. Absolutely glorious weather….and now we have wind chills of -15. Ick.
Darlene says
lunch business meetings is this a tax write off LOL Sounds like your bakery is starting to come together .And that sandwich looked so good i keep forgetting to put cranberries on my turkey sandwich

Amanda says
Do you LOVE your KOR water bottle?? We just did a huge custom order of that water bottle for one of our clients. We have one in the office that I am accidentally waiting for it to fall into my bag.
KathEats says
I do!
foodandfarm says
Cville coffee is awesome! Try and go to one of their shows!

Alaina says
Cute bag! Mind sending some of that warm weather up to Boston?
Kristina says
63??? So jealous! It’s below zero in MN… le sigh.
Raulston says
The forerunner looks fantastic, is it a bit bulky for you? From the picture it seems a rather large, but then again it is a close up! I use a polar but the strap does not seem to always pick up my BPM, does the forerunner use a strap as well? Fabulous blog-supremely crafted, well done!
KathEats says
It was a little big at first, but I’m totally used to it
Maria @ The Fitted Apron says
Kath, you look great!
KathEats says
Thanks!
Jessica says
Oh gosh, I’m so jealous of your temperatures. I love winter though, but I think I put on half my running gear to go out yesterday!
