I am soooo tired of eating and drinking. I just don’t know how to stop! This week-long party continues and we are having so much fun. But I think all of us are ready for some salads and soups to simplify mealtime again. We have one more night with Larbs and Matt before everyday starts again.
The kids went running this morning – actually a really great run. Must be all the glycogen – or perhaps the coffee with breakfast! Matt and I killed it with 8:32, 8:14 + 8:21 paced miles (and a few slower ones too as we cooled down). Then we all headed to the bakery for lunch!
We’re closed today, but the sandwich cooler was open! All the foods in here are leftover from last week and are not suitable for customer consumption anymore, but as of today, there was just enough to feed our family. My parents went crazy with the idea of having a “restaurant to themselves.”
While we assembled sandwiches, several customers did come to the door and we sent them away with a free loaf of bread from the Thanksgiving bake (still plenty good!) They were pleased
Our family took the rest of the leftover loaves home so we’re empty for the Monday AM bake.
After packing up sandwiches, we headed to Blenheim Vineyards to taste wine and picnic
The highlight there was meeting KERF reader Jordan who was working behind the counter! It’s so fun to be recognized in public : ) Hi Jordan!
After tasting, we bought a bottle of the red blend to have with our picnic
Lunch was served…
With no shortage of desserts…Pumpkin Oh and a huge bag of Savannah bars! I had a piece of each – our desserts are the best.
Next stop was Jefferson Vineyards!
I didn’t taste here since I was the driver, but I smelled them all and they smelled excellent!
Matt bought the Petit Verdot
Just said goodbye to Mom and Dad and Larbs, Matt and I are chilling at home tonight.
Pizza is on the menu!
And salad. Lots of salad.
Sana says
I am sick of food 🙂 But I give it a week!
Erika - The Teenage Taste says
Looks like you had an awesome day, Kath! Those Savannah bars look especially drool-worthy! 😀
The Healthy Hipster says
Love the idea of a tart granny smith and a full bodied glass of red. Yum!

I can just picture your mom and dad giddy while making sandwiches and running free throughout GH 🙂
KathEats says
Haha – that’s because you experienced that first hand 🙂
Savannah @ Sweet and Savvy says
Beautiful Saturday! Food and family.. best way to end the holiday!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
I would so love to have a restaurant to myself! Haha it would be so exciting 🙂
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Your weekend has been action packed…and full of good food and family. And the wine looks great too 🙂
Nice job on your run this morning. Speedy Gonzales!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I think having a restaurant to myself would be cool too! and I can’t wait to get home and eat veggies. All day long. I’m on a sugar high here at my parent’s house. too. much. chocolate.
Army Amy* says
Those are some fast splits, girl!*
Stacy @ Say It With Sprinkles says
I know what you mean! Holiday foods are delicious, exciting and new for a few days, then I just want to get back on track with lighter, healthier stuff…or at least normal stuff, haha!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
bummer you guys weren’t open on small business day! but how lucky for those customers who walked away with a freebie.
i know what you mean about the food + drink… it seems never-ending this time of year.
Katelyn says
I feel the same way about eating & drinking more! My brother is in town and wants to go out to dinner, but I’m not even feeling that hungry! :/ (By the way, I tried taking him to the GH here, but they were closed too. Next time!) Looks like a nice afternoon at those vineyards. 🙂 Have a nice night!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
Omg. I need SO much salad. I spy Woodstock bread!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
Looks like such a fun Saturday! I’d love to have a Great Harvest all to myself for lunch too. 😉 Enjoy your peaceful evening in!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
What a fun day! I love this holiday time. Did a turkey trot, then a snow hike, and today a park walk/jog w the hubby. I am loving this time.
Mmmm… Pizza. We’re doing s’getti and salad. 😉
Cait's Plate says
I hear ya. I always feel ready for fruits and veggies after an extended period of eating/drinking. It’s nice to know the body craves that naturally!
Looks like a fabulous day though – enjoy your last night with Matt/Larbs!
Amanda says
I would also be pretty excited about having a restaurant all to myself. 🙂
I hear you on the salad. I’ve had enough indulgent foods and I’m ready to get back to regular eating that doesn’t leave me wanting to take a nap.
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
Soooo much fun! I’m with you on the lighter foods — just had our third tday meal in a week…which I love…but am ready to scale it back a bit. Whew!
Candice @ Sailing on Paper says
I love your hair length and color! It’s very flattering on you.
KathEats says
Thanks!!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
isn’t it funny how we can really get sick of eating such good food all the time #foodbloggerproblems
Lauren says
Loved Blenheim! I have a bottle of their Syrah that I can’t wait to open.
Rachel says
Looks like a great day!
Kelly @ Foodie Fiasco says
I’m glad you had some family time! Happy Saturday (or until dinner anyway… ;))
Lorin says
I feel you on the food thing. It’s like a cycle where you think well I’ve eaten this much so what’s the harm in one more bite and then you feel overly full ect ect. At least you got a nice run in! I think my motivation to exercise is at an all-time low, but I will definitely do better this next week!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Haha–at least you’ve had yummy food to eat, ya know?! But it is good that the body craves what is best for it after a bit of indulgence. Enjoy your salad!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
What a perfect way to spend the day! 🙂 ….I’m with your parents, I think it would be pretty darn cool to have an entire restaurant to myself too!
That picture of you and Matt is SUPER! You two just look so cute- it’s a beautiful photograph!
Kelly says
I love two things about the first picture. 1. All the boys are wearing plaid! 2. Matt is cradling the wine like a baby!
KathEats says
🙂
Trisha says
I forgot what the feeling of being hungry is!! Been in constant state of “stuffed”…tis the season! Glad I’m not the only one….:-)
Nina says
Those wine bottles are totes being held like babies…
Laura says
You have really beautiful skin, I keep noticing. Do you mind my asking if you use any particular moisturiser or cleanser?
KathEats says
Thanks Laura. I use Alba on my face (cleanser/moisturizer) and Bare minerals
Khushboo says
Food coma!!! Thats a lovely pic of you & Matt!!
Irina says
the expression on a gentleman’s face who is standing behind the counter made me laugh 😀
Having a great time with the family and tasty food is the best 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Having free access to a restaurant’s kitchen would be amazing! I think I would get just as excited as your parents. 😀
Alaina says
I would love to live near vineyards. We have a few here in MA, but I would be in heaven if I lived by the Finger Lakes or Napa Valley. 😛
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Looks like a fun day! It’s great to have family around!
Jordan says
Thanks for the shout out! It was fun to finally meet you in person- glad you had a great day!
KathEats says
🙂 Hope to come back soon!
Aartee says
What is the make of your bag? I love cross bodies and purple is my absolute fav color!!
KathEats says
It’s by Co-Lab and I got it at Loehmann’s. Love the cross-body!
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
I’ve always thought that must be the best part of having a restaurant/bakery–leftovers! It’s so wild to think that you can’t sell things after a certain point because they’re not, as you put it, suitable for customer consumption anymore, even though they’re still plenty good! Glad to see that you guys make use of the leftovers instead of chucking it all in the trash!
Paralia Apartmani says
Looks like a wonderful day. Beautiful photos!
Angel7 says
What a nice time you had with the family! Life is about making memories!
That is a nice picture of you and Matt!

Love that last picture of you and Matt, what a good looking couple!
Leah says
My friend Laura and I were at Blenheim on Saturday as well and I noticed you but didn’t say anything bc I felt bad interrupting your family picnic! I’ve never posted on your blog before but I read it daily and love it! Thanks for sharing your love of food and Charlottesville with us! They are two of my favorite things too!
Next time I’ll say hi!
KathEats says
Oh fun!!! Wish you’d said hello – my family gets a huge kick out of it when that happens 🙂 Hope to see you some other place!
