Working Hard For The Hunger

We may be on vacation, but our hosts are not. Larbs + Matt had to run off to work today. I remember from my days of working for the big boss how wonderful it was to have breakfast made [and cleaned up!] on a busy day, so we rose with the worker bees and made them pancakes.

IMG_4214Blog

Or really, Matt made his special topping pancakes while I floated around the apartment like a fairy

IMG_4195Blog

Of course Larbs is hooked on Kodiak Cakes [so is the rest of my family!]

IMG_4201Blog

Matt made two varieties: coconut choco chip and banana flax

IMG_4199Blog IMG_4202Blog IMG_4206Blog

Topped with almond butter + peanut butter and a few more bananas

IMG_4215Blog

IMG_4217Blog

IMG_4211Blog

Always coffee

IMG_4220Blog

Matt and I are unsure of our plans for the day, but we don’t have anything major. Tomorrow, we’re driving up to Newport! But today is “explore Boston on foot” day. Possibly a run, possibly just lots of tourist walking. We’ll see how we feel!

Happy Friday!!

    As soon as I get my coconut butter in, I’m going to start putting it on everything. Chocolate chip pancakes sound amazing right now, so maybe I’ll just throw a tiny bit on top of those!

    Just curious, but whats with the pancake mix? Isn’t pancake mix just flour, egg, and milk? Why would anyone buy this in a box when it is so easy to make using real ingredients?

    Or is there something special about these “kodiak” pancakes.

    Kath I know you and Matt have worked to be where you are — but I can’t help but sometimes be a little envious — traveling around, no working for the “big boss” — and I know you do work, but its just different than us 9-5ers, you know?

    It really makes me think about what I want to do and change within my own life.

      December 10, 2010 at 9:30 am

      And I feel bad sometimes doing anything fun when I know so many are at work! Sometimes I just want to yell to the skies how freeing it is to be able to work for myself, but I also want to be sensitive to those who don’t or can’t, ya know? My goal in going back to school was to work a flexible lifestyle and build my RD career through writing and a private practice. I’ve been really lucky to be able to shift the practice to a blogging career instead, but I think my goals are still the same.

      And that’s just me rambling out some thoughts 🙂

    Enjoy your day in Beantown! If you’re looking for any good bars/restaurants with great microbrew selections, I’d recommend Lord Hobo in Cambridge (fun and funky), Cambridge Brewing Company (a must go-to brewery for the beer lover!), Publick House in Brookline (a great spot on a cold, wintery day!), The Other Side (I think you’ve been there!), Lower Depths in Kenmore Square, Bella Luna in JP (Jamaica Plain – where Sam Adams is), or Doyle’s in JP (oldest Irish pub in the city). Have fun and stay warm!

    On the way to Newport is Sakonnet Vineyards.. I just love it there.. although it probably doesn’t compare to Napa or C-ville ( DMB) vineyards..
