flashback friday round four.

halla! hvordan er du?

i am channeling my inner norwegian with that greeting in hopes i will be transported to oslo this weekend, but i think the closest i am going to get to scandinavia is in my dreams.

oh well, on the upside it is finally the weekend!  three cheers for that. hell, why stop at three? i would venture to even give it four or five cheers.

i enjoyed hearing your names for objects.. sounds like lots of you name things.. mainly your cars, but some of you name your phones and your GPS units and even your bikes!

and then there was the way you like to eat your veggies.  lots of ways are adored, most of you don’t really care how they are served.. but some of you mentioned roasted and some of you mentioned baked.  some of you mentioned both roasted AND baked.  riddle me this, what the deuce is the difference between roasting and baking? i spent some time googling this on the old blackberry today (while in very important meetings, clearly this quandry was much more important) and the most i could come up with is that back in the day, roasting meant "over a fire" but now days there is no difference at all! you can bake your veggies or you can roast your veggies, both in the oven, they will both come out the same… however i do not think i would ever roast a cake or bake a piece of beef. hmmm.. apparently i have spent a little too much time on this whole baking vs. roasting debate.  thoughts?

let’s dive in.

usual suspects…
meal 1: protein oats @ 8:30 AM

i promise you tomorrow you will not see these. i am going to eat something different, it is free day, after all.

if you want a little different breakfast photo action, i will show you what i made for everyone at work today (because i missed waffle wednesday)

 

they love me.

meal 2: garbz/chicken/cottage cheese/tomato/ranch seasoning/black pepper/love & green beans @ 12:45 PM (duh.)

i officially ate this lunch five days in a row this week. and not a bit sick of it!

then i took the old 4Runner to my house, it has been sitting at work for a couple days since i snagged my new car and i don’t think it would be safe to leave the old friend in the parking lot over the weekend. transients roam around these parts! so i took the auto home, fell asleep on my couch for a good 13 minutes and then woke up to my boss honking his horn at me because he picked me up to take me back to work. sigh. still had a few more hours to go!

meal 3: peach cobbler protein shake @ 3:45 PM

that is what i am going to refer to this as from now on because it tastes just like peach cobbler! in the mix: 1 freshy fresh utah peach, tons of ice, unsweetened vanilla almond breeze, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and a plethora of cinnamon!!

dreamy.

went home, changed, yadda yadda yadda.

oh, i got a dog bed for the back of the auto~

thank you costco, it fits perfectly back there.  no dog hair in the passenger seats (for awhile at least)…

someone buy the white one. please and thanks.

time for some flashback friday!  round 4 for those of you just tuning in. 

well like i said, i like to include foodie photos in my flashbacks if i can! i was perusing my photos on the old laptop and found something perfecto for today’s FBF! <—i am an acronym AND a palindrom freak, this is both! flashbackfriday will now often be referred to as FBF!!

august 25th, 2006…about 3 years ago to the day!  my buddies used to live in a cabin up at brighton, the exact place i happen to be adventuring to tonight! we were at their cabin more often than not, because let’s face it… being in the mountains is way more fun than being in the valley!  here are some photos i happened to have of that day.

i remember it clearly because it was the day that my dog mable (may she rest in peace) was dog-napped.  yep, that’s right. long story short… my ex who i owned mable with owed dude a whole lot of money and he went to MY house and took MY dog and i had NOTHING to do with the situation nor with said ex. ugh. so that is why i look a tad teary-eyed.

ALSO, we were trying to determine if chips that were “folded” tasted better than flat ones… you know… potato chips? when they are folded? they taste wayyyy better in my opinion!

ok enough ‘splainin.. here are the photos.

janetha: “let’s see if maynard can tell the difference”

summer  (girl in black hat): “you’ll see maynard, the fold IS BETTER”

 

janetha: “here comes the chip!”

janetha: “BAM, toldja”

maynard (thinking): “she is so right!”

 

i am a dweeb. but it’s ok.

and then allie fed me cake. because i was so sad :(

 

and i returned the favor. 

oh, and no, we didn’t even mean to dress alike. we just have great minds!

there you have it! that wraps up round four of flashback friday! did any of you flash back? let me know and i will link back to your flashback in tomorrow’s post!! and everyone should participate next week as well!

OK I REALLY HAVE TO GET GOING NOW!

in other news~
tomorrow is a BIG day for national food holidays:

• national more herbs less salt day
• national whiskey sour day (again?)
• national lemon juice day
• national swiss winegrowers day
• national chop suey day

WOW i am sure you will find SOME way to celebrate.. and if not.. well then you really can’t call yourself a foodie.  or a swiss winegrower.  so there.

• in the past three weeks i have drank well over twenty five gallons of water. that is more than five of those mount olympus water cooler jugs all to myself! i would like to thank the little people (ie: contigo water bottles, office drinking fountain & my homie the toilet) for making this possible.
• i just realized i am set for concerts in my near future!: modest mouse 9/1, matt & kim 9/7, fun. 9/8, the get up kids 9/18, the sounds 10/30. love.

Qs~

1. any concerts in your near future? or.. best concert you ever went to?

2. if you had to eat the same thing for lunch every day of your life (which i do, but don’t have to do)… what would you pick??

see you all tomorrow, have a fantabulous fun filled friday night!
