this food would be dank if i could taste it.

well, back to the drawing board.  my throat feels waaaay better, but i still sound like a man and my smell, taste and hearing are mad at me and refuse to function properly.  geez, what did i ever do to them?!

on the upside, we are having a BBQ right now and i can’t smell the cigarettes that people are smoking. i guess there are some perks to this no senses thing after all.

here i am with another 2 days to catch up on, i wonder when i will narrow it down to daily posts again.. hmmmm.  not today, that’s for sure! let’s talk about eats because eats are good mmmmmkay?

SUNDAY!

 

rolled out of bed at noon. marshall’s room has no windows, i could have slept longer, easily.  i have no shame in the sleeping in game.  all you go getters are calling waking up at 8 AM a “sleep in”..no no my dear friends, let this narco over here show you how sleeping in is done :D

around one o’clock we decided to find some food, we hit up a spot in a really whack town called ogden, but the restaurant was pretty fantastic:

unfortunately they did not serve breakfast all day, but they did have a couple breakfast items that were an all day thang.. so i went with the only thing that looked appealing at the moment: western omelette minus cheese plus avocado:

doesn’t look too pretty but it tasted great! i also had some coffee.  i ate about 3/4 of the omelette and 1/4 of the potatoes. oh and i doused the whole thing in hot sauce after photographing.. of course.

marshall ordered some peach cobbler for dessert, who has breakfast dessert? funny. it was massive.. and he didn’t even make a dent in it. he is really not living up to his usual calorie intake standards!

i bet it was good, i’ll never know.

after that we decided to do some shopping at one of my fave spots, tj maxxxxx.. such good deals! i snagged some shirts and a purse and some roxy jesus sandals. holler.

we hit up the mall as well, i stocked up on my warm vanilla sugar soap and antibac from b&b works. favorite smell ever.

after all that running around in the heat we needed to cool off with some jamba juice.. i usually never drink my calories. ever. jamba always freaks me out with their super high calories..even though they taste soo good.. i usually decline. but i seized the day and went for a small peach perfection:

juice with a side of new jesus sandals.

and a boyfriend to match.

hmmm let’s see.. not much else went into the mouth after that.  i did go to my brother & sister in law’s casa to give her the mail item i was talking about… here i will show you:

it is a peanut charm because that is what we called her little boy that passed away last week. i got one for her, for me and for my mom.  it is a nice way to be reminded of the little dude <3

we hung out in the grass and had a grass fight.

then it was time for sunday movie night! we saw public enemies and while it was a bit dull and slow, i still liked it.  i don’t think i would see it again but i was glad i saw it. i love johnny and christian. mmmmm. i had a zillion handfuls of this:

after the movie i was all sorts of starving, but the only healthy-ish thing in marshall’s abode was something i had on hand.. apple+PB

i ate a few slices and then smothered it in cinnamon

there was more where that came from.

ugh, THEN i stayed up til 2:00 AM watching the first season of weeds.  i never watch TV, but marshall always brings home full seasons of shows he wants to see and then we end up staying awake all hours into the night watching the episodes back to back. it is bad when the alarm goes off at 5:30 AM!  but that is a good show, for sure.

MONDAY!

 

well monday morning meeting was at the original pancake house as per usual.  it is sad, our waitress who always waits on us and has our drinks on the table before we sit down and knows our “usual orders” was fired for a super whack reason.  she does fitness comps and had the 24th off for a show.. well the restaurant was bought out and the new owner did not think she should be able to take the 24th off (it is a holiday here in utah) and so instead of demoting her or something he just fired her!  um, lame.  she was the head server and got paid more than anyone else so i think he just was a cheap ass and wanted to save a buck. anyway, i thought her getting fired would force us to go elsewhere to eat.. cause i am getting real sick of the original pancake house. no such luck, so i got the likely suspects again.

coffee, egg beaters+onion+ham+spinach, buckwheat pancakes (dry)

lunch came later on and was a turkey+cheddar+sprouts+LCL sandwich on wheat

who needs mayo when you have LCL? so glad they sell it at costco!

before leaving work i had a little something i picked up awhile back because of k’s review:

i mixed it with 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond breeze, iiiii’m breezy! (friends anyone?)

i loved this! from what i could taste, that is. i was super into the flavor & texture and i really liked the stats:

 

i try to balance my proteins and carbs.. this is PERFECT for my eating habits!

and although the ingredient list is long.. at least the last ingredient is <3love<3

i will buy this again. and again and again.  i can’t wait to try it when my taste buds are fully functional!

then i went to the gyyyym! weeeee!

50 minutes on the bike, 10 miles, one oxygen magazine read. yehaw. the end.

it was a mellow workout but i am still not 100% so i didn’t want to push it too much. it felt good to sweat :)

then i went to sunflower market.. wanna see the loot??

• 2 BIG containers of UVAB because sunflower is the only place that stocks these big, refrigerated containers
• 3 cans of garbanzos
• 2 cans yellowfin tuna
• 1 bottle of exxxpensive just cranberry.. it is pricey but it keeps the UTIs away and since i haven’t been chugging my water like i should i am in need of the cranberry’s healing powers
• dozen eggs
• shiratakis
• mini pitas, SOOO cute! they are called pitettes!
• bbq sauce
• ziplocks
• 3 flavors of spirutein! i was going to buy the big thing of cookies and cream but i decided to try a few other flavors before i commit to one kind

produce!

• 2 watermelons
• orange cauliflower
• stoplight bell peppers
• spinach
• mushrooms
• 2 grapefruit
• sweet potato
• 5 braeburn apples (they are my jam lately)
• celery
• jicama
• a red banana from ecuador! i just got one to try, have you guys seen these??

well i am following angharad’s footsteps and posting the total $ spent. first off i love how sunflower market prints the receipt on both sides to save paper!

and the total came to..

really not too bad, considering some of the expensive stuff i got! (cranberry juice, single spirutein servings, UVAB milk)

i came home and celebrated national french fry day!

did i trick you? that is actually jicama!  i didn’t eat all of that, just a few spears and saved the rest.

i also sliced and diced my produce.. a little time saving trick i try to do before putting it all away, that way it is easy to grab & go

put it in ziplocks and now it is ready for prime hummus dippage!

then it was time for dinnnnner.. i did celebrate national french fry day with some cheeeetahs

and then i made a hamburger salad!

just showing you the size of the mixing bowl i used. ginormous. this was before i added the turkey burger and condiments.. but it included:

• spinach
• romaine
• carrots
• sprouts
• mushrooms
• cheddar
• avocado
• garbanzos
• turkey burger w/ cumin
• ketchup
• mustard

allll together!

sunkissed deliciousness. too bad my taste buds were so bad by this time that i couldn’t even taste the fabulousness of it all :( i ended up eating half and giving the rest to my homeboy. he was appreciative!

i had some watermelon with a side of unicorn mirror

it’s ok to be jealous of my mirror.

well that sums it up!  long again, that is what i do.. long marathon posts. i promise i will be back to normal blogging soon so they arent SO SO SO dang long all the time. thanks for making it through these huuuuge ass posts though, props to you! yes you!

since you made it this far, let’s talk about some giveaways in the blogosphere shall we?!

• hangry heather is giving away some mojamix!
• HEAB is giving away some almond butter.. how fitting!

and i know i still gots to pass on my award, but i am famished and once again THIS IS LONG! so i will leave you with more mindless questions, because it’s what i do!

1. if you had to give up one sense forEVA (taste, touch, sound, smell, sight) what would it be? ahhh.. horrible Q, no? umm i *guess* if i had to pick one it would be sound.

2. favorite B&B works scent? or fave soap/lotion scent in general? warm vanilla sugaaa all the way!

3. favorite TV series? i love dexter and the office.
