Missing Goat Cheese

After working for a bit, I set out on a noontime walk in my neighborhood while chatting with my mom. I believe in active rest days like Meghann. I’ve got Race For The Cure in the morning and am a little sore from my run with Sarah yesterday so I decided a walk would be perfect. When I take complete rest days before races, I feel more sluggish than usual (water retention?) so the best activity for me is just something light. I talked to my mom for an hour – it sure went by fast!

At 1PM I was ready for lunch.

I made a salad out of some fun ingredients in the house. Boy would goat cheese have been nice on this! I really missed it.

  • Bed of red leaf lettuce tossed in honey and olive oil
  • ~1/4 cup leftover navy beans
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1/4 green bell pepper
  • A few tablespoons of WHEATBERRIES which I haven’t had in ages!
  • 5 strawberries
  • 3 chopped dates
  • Toasted OhNuts.com pumpkin seeds

IMG_4213 (640x427)

IMG_4211 (640x427)

On the side I had a slice of Great Harvest Dakota bread topped with cottage cheese, Fortnum and Mason raspberry jam and some Mix My Granola. Totally fun combo!

IMG_4207 (640x427)

I spotted some MORE roach wings in the living room – in the same spot as last time!! GROSS. Makes me think the body is decaying somewhere. I shook out the curtain but didn’t see anything drop. Eeeeks.

IMG_4215 (640x427)

I am sipping on some of Maggie‘s tea because I was cold. Matt is napping and we might take a trip out for some groceries a little later. Tonight is going to be low-key because tomorrow is jam-packed with the race early, early, early in the AM and then the annual Great Grapes Wine Festival at Symphony Park!

    Feta would be nice on there too. I enjoy strawberries in my salad too. Everyone think I’m nuts. They don’t know what they’re missing.

    Good luck in your race!

    Hope you like the tea!! I keep meaning to email everyone but the flavors were – cookie (not sure about the caffeine), toffee rooibos (no caffeine), green tea (probably a little caffeine), and an organic herbal one (no caffeine – the one in a real tea bag).

    How nice that you had a chance to chat with your mom this morning. It’s always relaxing just to talk and catch up.

    hey kath,
    wow — i never thought of putting add-ons on cottage cheese on bread. that makes it sound so much more tasty (usually i don’t like it).

    p.s:sorry i haven’t commented in forever. i just got back from a year overseas for dissertation research — i’ve been following the blog, but because of the time difference, didn’t do a lot of commenting…but been enjoying it all along!

    Dear Kath’s Mom,
    I was living in Jerusalem, Israel — I am writing my dissertation about Jewish settlers on the West Bank.

    Not terribly interesting to foodies, although a lot of the settlements are getting into the organic business. And of course, an entirely different food culture (you can definitely see why the Mediterranean diet works — when incredibly fresh tasty produce, whole grains, and various types of dairy are the cheapest thing you can buy and you pay a lot for packaged/imported goods, meat, etc. you “eat real food”)

    Anyhow, I’m now back to my normal life, following KERF from Chicago.

    I went to Great Harvest today and picked up a loaf of dakota bread (THE BEST!), their granola and they also have the naturally nutty toffee peanut butter. Little did I know the store had new owners and was giving away free loaves of bread. Since my mom was with me they gave us 2 loafs of the light whole wheat bread, I couldn’t believe all the bread I had! I had to finally go to Great Harvest because the bread you showed on your blog was making my mouth water for some nutty, grainy, soft, fresh bread!!

    Good luck on your race tomorrow!

    Maggie,
    Thanks!! I can’t wait to try the toffee!!!

    Heather,
    The bowl is from my grandmother, so I’m not sure where it came from.

    Whitney,
    LOL. I’ll keep my eyes out for you!! Eyes in the back of my head!!

    Sara,
    How cool! Welcome home.

    Fallon,
    enjoy!

    Kath – Are you sure those are roach wings? Looks more like termites to me, esp since they are right under your window. I haven’t caught up on your whole blog yet – just reading to this point. We had termites when we lived in FL so that looks familiar to me… Good luck!

    Love reading about your food and recipes!
