Old Town, Old Friend

Reunited with my Charlotte friend love!

IMG_6017

While I’m in NOVA I had to stop in and visit Emily, her plum, her husband and doggies.

The plum is featured here as a symbol to what’s growing inside! 12 weeks!

Emily

When I arrived after the VDA meeting, I had the banana + sunflower butter snack I’d been thinking about all morning. Plus some TJs Ginger Cats!

IMG_6011

Then we went out for a walk with the doggins

IMG_1010-2

IMG_1012-2IMG_1011-2

We walked for about 45 mins and then picked up Casey to head out for dinner

IMG_6019

Destination: Fontaine Caffé & Creperie

IMG_6020

I had a sparkling water as my adult beverage

IMG_6021

And loooved one of the table’s apple + brie bruschettas

IMG_6024

For dinner I obviously had to get a crepe

IMG_6025

This is the Zenist with lentils, tomatoes and spinach in a spiced coconut blend. The crepe was made with buckwheat flour!

IMG_6027

It was so delicious I ate it all!

IMG_6029

We walked back home and are watching HGTV and eating ginger cats in Almond Dream ice cream (which was really good!)

IMG_6031

Meow!

IMG_6032

At the VDA meeting I met 3 Charlottesville dietitians and told them about our Great Harvest. I also recommended they stop into Great Harvest Warrenton on their way home to meet Pablo and taste some bread. They did – and I found this in my inbox!!

I haven’t slept well in two nights – can’t wait to put my head on the pillow tonight. Tomorrow I head back to Cville where I have a mile-long to-do list waiting for me!

    Love TJ’s ginger cats, they’re the best. Well actually I love ANYTHING Trader Joe’s – but those are particularly delicious 🙂 Also good with peanut butter (and ice cream!) are Annie’s Hunny Bunnies.

      Ginger Cat’s are my favorite, too!! My boyfriend even gave me a tub of ’em for Xmas this yr (among other things.. it wasn’t just ginger cats, lol!)

      In fact, I once asked him to pick up some Ginger Cats for me one time when he was going to TJ’s and I was staying home…he gave me the *weirdest* look (this was before Xmas) so I had to explain that yes, Ginger Cats = people food. When he got home, not only did he have Ginger Cats, but he also had the Chocolate Cats for himself… haaa! I laughed so hard.

    Oh my goodness that looks good! Two questions – 1) What is that green stuff that looks like glitter paint? Pesto? and 2) Was it soft like a traditional crepe, or more tortilla textured?

    I guess also, 3) Is it wrong that I’m already trying to plan meals for a tentative trip to DC more than 2 months from now? 🙂
