Covered In Soil

I worked and worked on BERF today, editing and formatting posts. I’m SO excited to share our story with you all!!!

IMG_5996Blog

Afternoon snack of pear + cookie butter.

Matt and I had a date planned tonight – dinner, a piano performance and some theater. Since Holly and I went to Eppie’s on Tuesday, I haven’t stopped thinking about the vegetarian plate of Southern comfort foods! HAD to go back! Plus Eppie’s makes a fantastic quick and inexpensive dinner option.

Check out all of our eats!

IMG_9213-2Blog

The mac and cheese was by far my favorite food on the platter : )

IMG_9217-2Blog

Followed by the sweet potato, which I sprinkled with brown sugar, and the cornbread behind it

IMG_9218-2Blog

I DID manage to eat the collard greens, but only because they were very well cooked. Had they been steamed like we usually make them, I would not have taken a bite. Black beans were good!

IMG_9219-2Blog

I couldn’t quite finish this all, but considering how much was on my plate, most of it was gone.

IMG_9216-2Blog

Our next stop was a visit to Fellini’s where our neighbor, who is 5 years old (!), was playing a set on the piano while date nights and social gatherings listened on in enjoyment.

IMG_9221-2Blog

A. played three ORIGINAL songs – including those titled “Never Race A Cat,” “The Year Of The Dragon” and “Eric’s Bad Day.” She also played duets of “Happy Birthday” and Beethoven and ended with some jazz. She sings too! [A. is the daughter of the neighbors who threw the dance party last weekend 🙂 ]

After the performance, we walked across downtown to the IX project for The Unearthing.

IMG_9228-2Blog

The show was set in a big warehouse space decorated with crazy art installations in every nook and cranny. It was a series of short scenes set throughout parts of the space, and goddess-like dancing women led the audience from one place to another for a different perspective and different scene.

The show was a combination of equal parts:

Fun house

Circus

Haunted House

Comedy show

Art installation

Dance performance

Theatrical play

It was quite unique!

I wasn’t allowed to take photographs, but you can see a videos about it here.

IMG_9227-3Blog

I’d say our mile-long walk home in the cold rain was an appropriate ending to the show 🙂

We were unearthed.

    It’s so strange to read about your newfound dislike for veggies! Crazy how a little BERF can change your taste buds…temporarily. Can’t wait to read BERF posts!

    Hmm…I get the feeling BERF is going to be more than just a fun blog considering all the work you are putting into it – it sounds like a full-time job!

    Haha. Like the ending sentence in tie with the pic above. LOL.

    Can’t wait to see BERF. And I love it when children get to show off their talents. That is way cool. Despite the rain, sounds like a pleasant evening. 🙂

    Wow, I am so impressed that a 5 year old is not only performing, but has original songs! That’s amazing! I wish I had musical talent like that. Sounds like you guys had a great evening 🙂

    Oh man that southern food looks tooooo good! Kath congrats on your bundle! You are so inspiring, thanks to you, in my short time reading your blog, you’ve managed to automate my breakfasts! I hated the texture of cooked oatmeal, so ONO was a welcome addition, not sure how long that fragile bone will last, so I have a question for you.

    I’d like to dig thru your archives and get similarly inspired by your weightloss journey. In reading, it seems you did go thru that period and now you are diligently maintaining (God bless you! all the body pumps and walks and runs are amazing, esp considering you’re doing it w/ nausea lurking in the wings :))

    Anyhow the question is- can you tell me what period of time the weightloss was so I can visit those archives. Thanks so much for being an inspiration!

      I was done with the bulk of my losing when I started KERF. In fact, my weight has only gone up since then 🙂 But my posts from 2008 are just after and I was still counting calories and getting used to maintenance, so there’s a lot more weight talk in those posts.

    Are you going to have a virtual baby shower as well so your blog friends can attend? You could register on Amazon and maybe etsy too? Dinner looks delicious. When was the last time you made a green smoothie? Have not seen those in a bit but have been busy so may have missed it.

    I too was a veggie lover who survived the first trimester of pregnancy on nothing but homemade mac and cheese and toast. Soon followed by intense cravings for guacamole and orange juice-both hard things to get in China where we live. Can’t wait to see BERF!! Thank you so much for this blog too though. My hubs and I visit Charlottesville regularly when in the States and looking at your pictures makes us miss all of our favorite Charlottesville restaurants a little less!

      Barb, I think they’re thinking about naming a baby girl after your cat! Guess I’ll have to buy her tuna every Christmas.

        Lillian would be honored. HOWEVER, I think Karen Barbara or Barbara Karen would make a great choice too!

        Lil is getting your tuna tomorrow. It is the seventh anniversary of her adoption. Her dad is going to pick it up soon!
