Anyways, the weekend was great! Saturday we did the disappointing farmer's market thing, and then it was snack time. Eric and I picked up a small loaf of banana bread at Jungle Jim's and I had some pumpkin butter from Trader Joe's. It was a great combination.
For lunch, I made this yummy meal:
Eric made his look all fancy
In all honesty, I can't take credit for the delicious grilled veggie sandwiches. My friend Cindy made them last Wednesday for dinner with the girls, and they were so good I had to try to re-create them! Mine weren't as good as hers, but they were still good. I blame the fact that I'm currently working with a very small travel grill until Eric gets a normal sized one. In order to keep the grill clean, we cook everything on foil...which doesn't really produce the same "grilled" results. It was still good though...and I got Eric's approval!
Saturday evening we went out on Bill's dad's boat with Jennie, Bill, Bill's dad, and Jennie's mom. The boat is awesome and it was such a beautiful evening for a boat ride! We had lots of snacks and road around for a few hours before docking for a late dinner. It was a good time!
Sunday started with a 30 mile bike ride up to Eric's parent's house in Centerville. The ride took about 3 hours because we stopped for a few short breaks. We hadn't rode anything over 10 miles in one day, so 30 miles was kind of a leap. But we made it in one piece and the weather was great for the ride! Then we had a cookout at Eric's parents' house. I got a ride back home and was pretty lazy the rest of the day (I attribute that to my awful cold). Then the 12 hours of sleep happened, and I awoke to awful congestion and a sore throat. Today for lunch I went all out with trying new food. I called it my "experimental meal". And experimental it was!
On the plate we had some baked tofu, baked rutabaga, mushrooms, avocado, and a fruit and yogurt parfait. The rutabaga was good, and I would definately cook that again. It pretty much tasted like potatoes. The tofu I will not be cooking again. I ate one cube and had some negative feelings about it, and I tried to eat a second cube but I couldn't handle the consistency and had to spit it out. Eric ate it all...but he eats anything if it's edible. At least I can say I gave tofu a try!
Now I'm back at my apartment, getting ready to do some work that I didn't get done last week, and then heading to bed early to try to recover from this cold!
I purchased a new swim suit today so I can start pool running. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty yuck today, so the pool isn't open...but hopefully tomorrow after work I can give it a go! I may try to wake up in the morning to go on a walk...but if I feel sick again tomorrow, I will sleep in if need be.
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! I know I did!
