The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

Is sliced Great Harvest bread!!

IMG_8554Blog

No joke.

IMG_8553Blog

Sliced veggies aren’t so bad either!

IMG_8534Blog

Smell of the earth:

IMG_8536Blog

I learned all about sandwich prep using the slicer, which was quite fun!

IMG_8542Blog

IMG_8539Blog

IMG_8549Blog

Uh oh.

IMG_8532Blog

“You’re not going to make me slice those onions are you!?!”

IMG_8541Blog

Whew. Thanks.

IMG_8551Blog

These monkeys did them instead!

IMG_8533Blog

After we were done for the day, Matt and I took a field trip to the Patagonia outlet! Last time I got my favorite pink furry kids size fleece here and a purple yoga tank top that I love. This time I did not intend to buy anything because I literally have ZERO space in my duffel bag…

IMG_8557Blog

but you know how that goes!!!

SCORE for these two awesome shirts that were $5 a piece and messages I want to wear on my body!

IMG_8573BlogIMG_8574Blog

Also, I found my favorite tank top in two awesome colors on sale

IMG_8575Blog

And two cute running tops – one for winter, one for spring!

IMG_8576Blog

Once we returned to the hotel on foot, we put together our final hotel room dinner (although Matt will carry them on when I head home!)

IMG_8571Blog

Guess what favorite tinned food made its obvious appearance!?

Sardines!!! I found my favorite flavor and style at the Good Food Store! This brand is more expensive than others, but worth it for the smoky lemon flavor.

IMG_8559Blog

We turned them into sardine salad with a packet of mayonnaise and a hot sauce packet scavenged from salad bars and condiment stations during our trip. Plus 2 chopped carrots (cut on a paper plate with a butter knife by Matt!)

IMG_8566Blog

I was in charge of microwaving some broccoli + cauliflower that were seasoned with salt and pepper packets plus these two we stumbled upon:

IMG_8561Blog

IMG_8568Blog

Lastly we got a bag of Food Should Taste Good chips – Sweet Potato Flavor – for eating our sardines!

IMG_8567Blog

Perfect inexpensive dinner!

IMG_8570Blog

Tonight’s feature presentation was

another Montana movie

another Brad Pitt film

another story about brothers

Legends-of-the-Fall-1994_imagelarge

“Legends of the Fall”!

More Brad Pitt hotness!

brad-pitt-in-legends-of-the-fall

I loved both Montana movies!

We’re headed to bed. Round II of sandwich school is just a few hours away!

    AND yes yes to slightly more expensive tinned sardines. I was always like ‘why splurge on tinned food?’ – but it makes them actually a really good meal, + super healthy and still really cheap. I like the portugese ones with chilli in the tin, served on cheesy kamut crackers (im getting really specific here :)!) with hot sauce and crudite – YUM! xox

    I have always been afraid to try sardines too–my mother eats them all the time and I think they smell awful. I just watched ‘Fish fight’ on BBC though so now I feel compelled to try different types of fish! I suppose I will take the sardine plunge!
