It’s a scorcher folks!
Just got back from a walk with CHELSEA! Oops. We didn’t realize it was dangerously hot. We wore sunglasses and I had a hat and we carried cool water with it. It really isn’t that bad out there except for all the sweat I came back with!
Chelsea is visiting from Boise – here for work again. Read about our past internet-friends-brought-to-life encounters here and here and here and here!
This time she came to the bakery to see it in action and I fed her a gluten-free sandwich (meaning a sandwich minus bread plus a fork!)
I had lunch after I arrived to work post-Body Pump. Today we have a special sandwich!!
Smoked salmon, dilled cream cheese, romaine, tomato, cucumber (on High Five!) DELICIOUS!!
I hope it stays on the menu!
Side of H2Omelon
Dessert = 2 hunks of Savannah bar
Going to hang out in the walkin cooler!
Baking 'n' Books says
lol – I was going to ask “you sell GF bread”?! – and then I read the next sentence – cute 😉
It is hot! – too hot and takes the energy out of me. How do you like eating at the bakery versus home now?
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
I would LOVE that sandwich. Your menu is so creative! It looks fantastic!
I need to cool off, as well. I’m in a building with AC, but it’s still 76* in here – which feels sticky and stuffy – Ugh!

1. I love your shirt.
2. I wish I liked smoked salmon. I’ve actually never tried it but it just skeeves me out for some reason – which makes me sad cause it always looks so good.
3. I REALLY wish I had 2 hunks of savannah bar to snack on right now!
4. I worked in a bakery during college for a little and I remember loving the walk-in cooler. I found myself making lots of excuses on hot days to go in there 😉
Johanna B says
The heat index here was 120 yesterday and should match that today. I did all of my exercise EARLY this morning before the sun came up.
Alex says
I LOVE salmon on sandwiches! Yumm yumm yumm.
Cute shirt by the way 😀
Jill says
Not fair you get to visit with Chelsea–move back here Chelsea 🙂
Mmm..must get me some watermelon-stat!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Smoked salmon sammies?! I miss all the good days at work 🙂
Lesley Lifting Life says
It “feel like” 106 here in Kansas City too, so I know just what you mean!!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
Looks like the heat left the west coast (because it’s cooler than normal here in SoCal) and headed your way. Hope you find a pool or your gym has a pool to cool yourself in 🙂
Jennifer says
Wow, those are perfect watermelon cubes. Mine are never so precise.
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
LOVE smoked salmon.. that sandwich looks delicious. How do you decide if an item stays on the menu.. based on how well it is liked…how many people order it.. things like that?
KathEats says
yup! It’s a popularity contest
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
It is hot hot hot here too — yuck!
I so wish I had had a smoked salmon sandwich for lunch — that sounds delicious!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I used to go volunteer to grab things from the walk in cooler at the restaurant I worked at in college all the time in the summer. Best way to cool off!
jenna k says
man, this summer heat is crazy! we have 96 feels like 105.
your lunch looks great! i would definitely order that sandwich.
your talk of the walk-in cooler reminds me of a camp i worked at last summer (i grew up going to it). it’s held at fall creek falls state park (= no air conditioning anywhere), and us counselors would close ourselves up in there until we finally stopped sweating. once, one of the ladies who helped put together lunch opened the door, and there were about 5 of us in there haha
leslie says

Namaste Gurl says
It’s only 65 degrees here on the west coast– I feel for you!
Stay cool 🙂
Hilary says
OOohh…a walk-in cooler would be a nice thing to have right about now. And sorry, not a salmon fan, so I’ll have to disagree with you on the sandwich, despite its high amount of Omega-3s.
Caitlin says
oooh that is my ideal sandwich! yum-o!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Haha, I just blogged about H2Omelon! How did you get it so perfectly cubed?! Looks like Jell-O!
It’s hot here too, supposed to be 94F tomorrow. Gaaah! I am not good with heat. 🙁
Stay cool!
KathEats says
Matt cut it up!

Christine @ Burning It Off says
It’s hot where I am too and really humid and sticky… so gross! I’ve never wanted it to rain so badly.
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
So in a way you got free sauna in! Wow, 93 is quite scorching.
Lauren says
You guys better keep that sandwich because I am back in Cville and it sounds fabulous!! 😉 We need to pick up some more bread so expect to see us whenever I can get a ride to GH, although I might be driving because I got my permit!!! 😀
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Seriously, it is crazy hot out there! I took the kids to the lake today and if you weren’t completely in the water, you were drenched with sweat. I need some watermelon now and sadly don’t have any…
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
Salmon = dill = such a winning combination!

Very puuuurty sandwich!
Kristen @ The Red Velvet Life says
Whoah the melon looks amazing! I sliced one the other day and it didn’t have that vibrant color. On a mission to find a perfect watermelon! 🙂
Mama Pea says
I swear I am like 13 maturity-wise, because when you said “visiting friend” I immediately thought of something else.
I’m glad it was Chelsea!
KathEats says
LOL
katie @KatieDid says
Kath,
I was wondering if you use a certain camera bag or messenger bag that you recommend? I’m looking for something I can bike with and thought you might have a good idea.
KathEats says
I have a Lowepro and love it! It’s lightweight and the grey goes with everything: http://products.lowepro.com/product/Exchange-Messenger,2189,20.htm
katie @KatieDid says
Thanks so much!
Sarah says
Kath that watermelon looks so refreshing! Props to Matt for cutting into such perfect cubes! They kinda look like watermelon ice cubes!
Chelsea says
Wow I look as tired as I felt in that picture! LOL. It was SO great to see you and our walk was GREAT! Bikram later was killer but that’s a good thing 🙂 Oh and thank Kanz for cutting my funky running shoes out of the picture-not cute!
KathEats says
I had a lot of fun!! The walk was totally worth being wet for 2 hours 🙂 Hope to see you again SOON!
Angel7 says
I love salmon, and anything with dill in it!

Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
Cute! Internet friends are awesome. I was surprised my parents let me but I’ve met a ton of online friends from back when I was in high school (moved to a new state=had no friends except internet friends!) and love them so much. Your watermelon is making my mouth water… want somma dat melon!
Liz @ Something To Chew On says
That sandwich looks SO GOOD! Smoked salmon? Sign me up!

It is so uncomfortably hot here too. It’s very humid! That sandwich looks amazing! 🙂
