The Obscene Tomato

Can you believe the tomato Karen brought from her sister’s garden!?!!?

***

The Foursome of us made it back to Charlotte safe and sound but with growling stomachs. I had the second half of my Popchips bag on the way home

IMG_9010 (1024x768)

Followed by a handful of dried fruit and nuts before we left again for the airport

IMG_9011 (1024x768)

It was sad saying goodbye to Tina + Mal! The house feels empty 🙂

I was really hungry when we returned for a 4PM lunch!

I sliced up a hard-boiled egg from last week –

IMG_9015 (1024x768)

And had a Jalapeno Roll with zucchini and Laughing Cow –

IMG_9016 (1024x768)

I turned the rest of the zucchini slices into little Laughing Cow and Rhubarb Jam sandwiches – can’t wait to make these again!

IMG_9014 (1024x768)

A pile of watermelon –

IMG_9017 (1024x768)

And some Oikos with flax + granola

IMG_9013 (1024x768)

Annnnndddd the last little piece of Larabar that Matt ate

IMG_9018 (1024x768)

I overcompensated my hunger and ended up feeling too full after all of this.

IMG_9012 (1024x768)

We didn’t really get hungry for dinner until 8:30 and I decided to use up some veggies and mix them with mac n cheese

IMG_9020 (1024x768)

IMG_9021 (1024x768)

IMG_9025 (1024x768)

Topped with a bit of goat cheese and sriratcha

IMG_9027 (1024x768)

And served in my African treasures

IMG_9022 (1024x768)

IMG_9028 (1024x768)

With peacock decor in view –

IMG_9026 (1024x768)

Over dinner, Matt and I watched the movie Miss Potter, which tells the story of Beatrix Potter’s life. I have mentioned before that my mom is children’s book author and a former children’s librarian – she LOVES Beatrix Potter! You’ll find Peter Rabbit and his friends all over our house, and I have lots of memories of reading the stories growing up. So I loved the movie!!!

I even have a treasured Mrs. Tiggy Winkle Christmas ornament!

Hunger caught up with me and my small bowl of mac at 10 and I had one of Karen’s date bars from our freezer –

Q&A

Have a question for the blog summit committee? Where was our first kiss? Our favorite meal we’ve ever had? What’s the hardest part about blogging everyday?

Ask away here!

I’m really tired and can’t wait to have my head hit the pillow. It is considerably hotter here than it was last week – bring on the fans!

    I’m loving that mixture of foods for lunch. What a perfect way to satisfy all your cravings. YUM!!!

    And what a great mix with the mac and cheese! I always try to add some veggies to mine to amp up the nutritional value. 🙂

    Hope you get a good night’s rest after your busy weekend despite the heat!

    I have that ornament too! My Nana has a first edition set of the Beatrix Potter books and we grew up reading them.

    And figures that the first thing I see on one of my Reader blogs that I ALSO have here in New Zealand is Mrs. Tiggy Winkle, heh. The food products are always different!

    Speaking of which, if you’re ever interested in a little sampling of Kiwi foods/snacks, drop me an email; I’m happy to send. 🙂

    Gotta love it when produce makes you laugh AND gives you vitamins. 🙂

    I loved Beatrix Potter’s stories when I was a kid – especially the ones with Mrs. Tiggy Winkle! I love the way she drew hedgehogs.

    When my technology works fine, 10 minutes! When it doesn’t…ugggg. You must use Windows Live Writer. I could never wait for a photo to upload through WordPress again. (Ecto if you have a mac).

    allie ,
    Actually, no, we canceled the trip because we decided to pursue Charlottesville.

    Erica,
    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Faye + ri’chele,
    If you search for “Barbara Younger” on Amazon you’ll find a lot of her books. Many of them are Sunday school centered, but a few aren’t, such as Purple Mountain Majesties – http://www.amazon.com/Purple-Mountain-Majesties-Reading-Railroad/dp/0142301817/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247495776&sr=1-6
