Family Oscar Night

A post from Sunday this late in the week?  What the!?   Yes, I know I’m dragging last weekend out.  The truth is, we don’t have internet (or food!!) at our new place yet and I’m leaving this weekend (again) to drive up to Sacramento for a funeral so I have little motivation to share my latest eats.   And last weekend I ate some great stuff, so why not make it last?

Snacks & the City

That last post had some pretty scenery from the weekend, but not a lot of eats.  Here’s a recap of last weekend at home, in food format. To start the road trip off on the right foot, I got a big kale, spinach, beet, carrot, and ginger juice.  Pink pee is especially fun when you’ve been holding your bladder for 4 hours.  We stopped twice on the drive home and arrived in L-town just in time for dinner.  I had a pumpkin Bolani and salad. The next morning we slept in, which meant coffee and… Read more >
