You are here: Home / Weekend / Sun + Grass

July 1, 2009

Sun + Grass

Grass is cut! Shortly after our few drops of rain the sun came back out full blast! (Sorry Bostonians!) I mowed in record speed today – about 45 minutes. Why-oh-why did we ever waste time bagging the clippings!?!? I can go soooo much faster now. After the mow I went for a 5K loop run around the neighborhood, came home and stretched, did some chores around the house (garage is swept!) and showered.

Surprisingly I wasn’t even that hungry for lunch at 1:30, but I knew I was ready to eat. Especially when this came out from the broiler!

IMG_8540 (1024x768)

A Jalapeno Corn Bun stuffed with ham and chipotle cheese – plus some English mustard! Britain’s 300 year old gourmet food purveyor Fortnum & Mason offered to send me a few samples of their best mustards and preserves. I can’t wait to try the Whiskey and Beer flavored ones!

Mustards

Needless to say this sandwich rocked

IMG_8536 (1024x768)

On the side I had some veggies and made a new dip – Goat Cheese Guac

IMG_8537 (1024x768)

I just mixed together about 2 tbsp each of avocado and goat cheese, softened in the microwave for 10 seconds, with a pinch of salt and 2 fresh chopped basil leaves. It was awesome!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to make it again when I have another avocado.

Lastly I had a plumble jumble on its last leg

IMG_8538 (1024x768)

Delish!

I’ve got computer stuff to do until dinnertime 🙁

Karen’s coming over with some Carolina shrimp!

    How funny! I was literally just in Fortnum and Mason three weeks ago during a study abroad program. Their store is NUTS–crazy fancy. I picked up some tea and chocolate biscuits–delish!

    Hi Kath,

    First time commenter but long time reader (I love your blog!).

    I JUST started grad school and have a 4 hr lab in the morning, 5 days a week. We are not allowed to eat or drink anything in lab but by 10 a.m., I am ready to pass out on the floor! I guess my huge bowl of oats w/ light soy milk is not cutting it.

    Do you have any breakfast suggestions that would hold me over until noon time? Your bowl of oats creations look so good, but I don’t think my sensitive tummy can handle a lot of toppings, etc.

    Thanks!

    excellent idea with the dip. Doesn’t goat cheese just make everything better?

    My offer still stands – I will gladly cut your grass if you ever need someone to! 🙂 Yes, I miss cutting grass so much I would cross international borders to do it! Ha!
    Enjoy the shrimp!

    New York FINALLY got some sun today. You’d think New Yorkers were in hibernation the past few months with how crowded the city streets were today!

    We got rained out from our plans today. It’s ok I guess though, we need rain really bad and my grass loves it! I stopped using the bag too, it is much easier without it I have to agree. Plus, someone told me the clippings helped re-fertilize the grass. Not to shabby. Great looking lunch by the way.

    nicole ,
    My only suggestion, assuming there’s no possible way to eat a snack, would be to increase your portion. If you can’t handle toppings, could you try different ones? Or just increase the portion of oatmeal? Try a breakfast with more protein/fat? But I would definitely say increase the amount you eat so it’ll hold you over much longer.

    nicole, try peanut (or almond or cashew or…:)) butter with your oatmeal! It’s ungodly delicious, and the protein and healthy fats in it make your oats have much more staying power. A bowl of oats with good ol’ PB keeps me full for at least five hours!
