Show On The Road

We think we’ve found two really good options for the bakery!! Excited to move forward and see what happens with negotiations. Whew.

We spent the morning walking in the rain. It was miserable. And freezing cold.

this !

But I dried over this awesome lunch at Eppie’s!!!

I ordered half a salad with corn, goat cheese, dates and spinach. Yummmmmm! I love dates.

On the side I got a sweet potato and a side of black beans for filling warmth. It was soooo good! My lunch came with a surprise slice of cornbread that was out if this world good.

I polished off my salad and a little over half of the rest and shared the rest with Matt. Didn’t want to filled up toooo much and I wasn’t terribly hungry (unlike yesterday!)

We have another meeting or two and then a rainy 5 hour drive back to Charlotte.

I cannot WAIT to finish my RD and get this show on the road!

    MM! I have never had a salad with dates in it! I love dates, too. In fact, I JUST finished eating my serving of dates for the day (but let’s be real, I’ll have more when I get home).

    I’ll definitely be planning a trip to visit GH once you guys are settled in and open in C-ville. It’s only a few hours from me, and I’ve GOT to try all the breads and muffins I see on here.

    Hi Kath, I was just curious…once you get your RD, do you plan on using it? I know you’re super excited to become a bakery owner, but I was just curious whether or not you wanted to find a job that would put that degree to good use. It just seems like a shame not to use something that you worked so long and hard to attain!

    Well, whatever you choose to do with it, I know I’ll be eagerly reading about your subsequent adventures! Best of luck… 🙂

    I heard, then read that the best time to eat fruit is on an empty stomach. Have you learned about this through your R. D. studies?

    Reply
    • Kath says

      May 17, 2010 at 7:53 pm

      I think the best time to eat fruit is when it’s delicious in front of you 🙂 I’ve never heard anything that suggests there are only certain times to eat fruit, so long as you have a normal GI tract.

    What are you going to do with your RD degree once you get it? Does it tie into the bakery you are opening? Sounds like fuN!

    Hey Kath, I was wondering how the bakery was progressing. I hear such good things about Charlottesville.

    OK, so you look pretty cold and miserable in that photo. Glad you enjoyed some warm goodness at lunch. I love dates or raisins in my salads. Those small sweet/savory bites add so much.

    Wishing you safe travels back home to Charlotte!

    I’m getting so excited for you guys!

    My hubby and I just made a move from NY to CA this past week. Well, we moved here (CA) 6 months ago but just went back for the closing of our home. We left all our stuff there ’til the closing and just finished the packing and move part. Now we’re just waiting on the truck to arrive at our new home. Yes, it’s time to get this show on the road!

    Blessings to you two as you move ahead ~ Debbie

    Oooh Eppies is a favorite lunch place of mine! And I get that salad all.the.time. It’s basically all I get… with the occasional appearance of turkey chili! soo good! I hope to get to meet up with you next time you’re in Cville! I love the blog, and can’t wait till GH is in Cville!! And, while Bodos is amazing, you NEED to schedule a breakfast appearance at Blue Grass Grill. You will NOT be disappointed (seriously, the restaurant should pay me for all the good press I give them!).

    I don’t know your time frame for being in Charlottesville, but my partner and I are doing a couple of sustainability workshops there come fall as part of our non-profit’s tour – I’d love to send more info you way when the time comes, as nutrition with a local bend will definitely be a focus.

    That salad looks seriously delicious. I don’t know why, but I’ve never thought to put dates in a salad before. I have always made them as an appetizer, stuffed with a little bit of soft cheese. I will have to try it in a salad. I’m sure it’s great, the picture looked amazing as they always do! You are really doing a great thing here by showing how amazing healthy food can look-even on the road, it doesn’t have to be greasy fried food all the time.
