You are here: Home / Weekend / Egg + Nog

December 9, 2008

Egg + Nog

  • Car squeak fixed – check.
  • Finished a semester of Microbiology – check.
  • Lunch – check.

My exam went well. Well, well enough! I don’t think I got an A in the class, but a B is just fine for a course that really has little to do with my future career.

I got home at 12:30 all ready to have lunch with the husband but he was no where to be found. Sometimes he runs late from Great Harvest, but at 1:45 he was still missing (and he turns off his phone while he’s there). I wanted to wait for him so we could eat together (and because the roach – the ALIVE roach – was still in the kitchen staring at me!!) but at 2pm I decided I would eat anyways (that was a stellar breakfast to hold me 5.5 hours!)

As promised, I had an egg sandwich. I skillet-cooked an egg and topped it on a slice of GH bread with a Laughing Cow (which goes SOOOO well with eggs) and dill.

I made a spinach salad with some orange bell pepper and almonds and balsamic on the side.

And satisfied my yogurt craving with a bowl of TJ’s greek + cranberry sauce.

Then you-know-who called. He thought I was going to be really late from my exam and that “late lunch” meant 2:30 and not 12:30 so he worked a little longer making bread. I was just finishing when he got home so I sat with him while he ate two eggs on Country French, an apple and most of this EGG NOG SCUFFIN!!!

DSC06753

I told him 2 weeks ago not to bring home any more GH sweets (or if he wanted them to not tell me and put them up high where I wouldn’t find ’em) because I was eating them too often. But when I hear they make egg nog scuffins with butterscotch chips, I knew that was the dessert for me!!

I cut a nice wedge out of it to try (since I really wasn’t entirely in the mood for this when it arrived). But once I tasted it I had a second wedge :mrgreen:

    Do you ever get sick of salad? I love veggies, but raw ones make me kinda gaggy if I eat them several days in a row…

    Question- have you heard anything or when do you expect to hear something about the Quaker contest? I ask because I live in Colorado (close to Breckenridge) and I am hoping to meet you if you win the trip and make the journey out! I know the perfect place- wine bar and french pastry shop!

    BethT ,
    Yeah, I do get sick of salads on occasion. Although I used to get sick of them a lot more and I think my taste for raw veggies has dramatically improved this year.

    Melissa P. ,
    We haven’t heard yet, which I think means they picked a winner in private but haven’t announced the winner yet (and the winner wasn’t me!!!). I emailed them today to check in. So don’t get your hopes up 😥

    You know..I don’t like Egg Nog the drink, it makes me kind of gaggy, also after working at Starbucks and making too many egg nog lattes, it’s just not the same…but I think in a baked good…it would be quite delicious.

    Egg nog French toast is really delicious, too. Just use it to batter your bread instead of milk+eggs. It’s a Christmas tradition in my family.

    Kath! Quick question. Are you in an RD program right now or taking your prereqs to apply for programs? The reason I ask was that a girl in o-chem class is a post-bacc student, but she says the class is a prereq for applying to RD programs. Are you doing an integrated/accelerated program? Just curious!

    Kath – you’ve got to get a can or a big bucket and put it on top of the bugs until your hubby gets home. That way you don’t have to look at them. Scary, creepy little critters! It’s no wonder they’re around.. you have some GREAT food in your house!

    Kath, you may have already seen this before but Self is looking for fitness models.
    I so think you should try this out. You are a role model to many and would inspire readers to try out the workout cards.
    I am so sure you will be chosen for those cards instantly.

    Daphna, I saw your question to Kath and wanted to share my experience as I am curently taking classes part time to become an RD. I did not have a science background from my undergraduate degree. When I was researching nutrition programs, I found that some require you to finish science prereqs prior to starting, and some allow you to complete prereqs while taking classes in the program. This was one of the key deciding factors for me. Good luck!

    daphna ,
    I am in a masters program, also “majoring in nutrition” so I am taking a bunch of undergrad classes AND preq. classes all at once. Some of my undergrad. R.D. classes will count towards my masters (but not the preq. types). I was thrilled to find a program in my area that would let me take the preq. alongside the nutrition classes because otherwise I’d be in school for 5+ years.

    joanne ,
    I’m too scared to get that close to them to put a bucket on them. What if they escape and come hunt me down!?

    sonia ,
    Thanks for sharing – that would be fun.

    You are so funny about that roach – that sounds exactly like something I would do! One time there was one on the carpet and I just sprayed it with a bunch of windex because that’s all I had! After he saved me from the roach my husband was like, why is the carpet wet? LOL! 🙂

    Congratulations on the end of the semester! It’s such an amazing feeling!
    I saw joanne’s recommendation and I have to agree – even putting garbage cans on top of them isn’t a guarantee! I tried that once and removed it a couple days later and it was gone! Scary!
    Lastly – the scuffin looks off the hook!

    I have yet to try laughing cow!! I’m sure I would love it! That will be on next week’s grocery list.

    P.S I need that scone!! I need to follow your actions and only take a little bite of yummy treats like that instead of going overboard!!

    And there’s something about dill that makes whatever is under it so much better 🙂
