Fire It Up!

You saw it coming!!!

IMG_0478 (640x480)

Breakfast on the grill.

IMG_0487 (480x640)

I asked Matt to leave the grill cover off last night because I HAD to grill more fruit!! (The grill cover has all kinds of bugs under it so I am now scared to open it myself…)

The ingredients:

IMG_0477 (640x480)

If you think grilled peaches are good…..OMG to grilled BANANAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They got ooey gooey and caramelized!!

IMG_0479 (640x480)

IMG_0481 (640x480)

The I prepared some oat bran on the stove top (1 portion made with 1/3 milk, vanilla and salt) plus some dried raspberries and topped it with the 2 banana halves and 1 of the peaches. Plus flax, Ginger Rhubarb Preserves and Almond Haze from Veggie Girl.

IMG_0485 (640x480)

This was the best bowl of breakfast I’ve had in AGES!! (And another of my neighbor’s cool homemade bowls!) The Rhubarg Ginger preserves are from Andrea and are local in Charlottesville. Both the preserves and coffee she gave me totally stand out with excellence, as did the meals we had there. A sign I need to move there simply for the food!

IMG_0486 (480x640)

IMG_0483 (640x480)

Served with Shenandoah Joe Charlottesville Coffee

IMG_0488 (640x480)

I’m a little shaken from a big mug of coffee. Need some water to dilute my veins!

IMG_0480 (640x480)

***

Last night I curled up on the couch with a cup of Tazo and some Chocolate Fetish dark from Asheville, NC. Ironically I got this chocolate at BlogHer but I’ve also been to the store on a trip to Asheville!

Do you want to know what I watched?

this !
GOSSIP GIRL!! Whitney In Chicago told me about it and I ordered it from Netflix. It’s kind of like Sex and the City for teenagers, but I am totally hooked!Just like Sex and the City, which I didn’t know about until it was in its 5th season, I have lots of GG DVDs to watch in a row and I’m excited!

IMG_0476 (640x480)

***

After 2 hours of AM writing and errands, I’m headed up to Kelsey’s for YOGA!! I need it – my body is stiff. Whereas I used to do 20 minutes of yoga every morning, I’ve now reverted to hot yoga class once a week. I think the little-bit-each-day plan is ultimately better, but I just haven’t had the mental willpower to do it (I think it’s more of a winter cozy thing for me). But I am loving the classes! I bought a 10-class pass at the beginning of the summer and think I’ve used 3. So long as I keep it to less than once a week, it’s well worth the cost.

After yoga, K and I are going to lunch and then I’m going to play with Penny!!!

    Welcome to the Gossip Girl Club, Kath!!!

    I’m 32 years old, but it’s my guilty pleasure! I have been watching it from the beginning.I can’t wait until it returns in September!

    For some reason, I find all the characters likeable – despite most of them being spoiled and rich. I love Dan. Even Chuck has grown on me.

    If you caught the Teen Choice awards last night, you would have discovered that Chuck (Ed Westwick?) is actually BRITISH! I never thought he was hot before…but I do now!
    Add an accent to any man – and he’s instantly hotter.

    I hate to admit it but I love Gossip Girl too. I feel like I’m too old to watch it (27), but it’s great. One Tree Hill (which comes on the CW right before Gossip Girl on Monday nights) is my favorite show ever!

    I love your blog – never commented until now, though. I also was doing a little bit of yoga every day for a while, and then I switched to hot yoga once or twice a week too. I just didn’t have the time to fit in the yoga every day. Now I’ve given up on the hot yoga for the summer, and I’m back to doing Yoga Download classes in my living room again, when I can fit it in. What I wouldn’t give for 30 hours in a day…I think my body would be thrilled to experience yoga every day, but there’s just not enough time.

    Hey Kath,

    Okay, I just have to say, this bowl of oats looks fabulous. I am soooo re-creating it next week. This week, I have committed to myself to eat 80% raw (only meal we are heating is dinner, fish and steamed veggie) as an experiment, after reading and reviewing “Eating For Energy”… check out my review on LiveWell360.com, pretty interesting). Anyway, I am a bit in oatmeal deprivation, but am surviving and feel pretty darn good. Thanks for the food porn! 😉
