Weekend of thanks 2012

I know Thanksgiving was ages ago, but I’m only just getting around to uploading photos and such because my week/end was SO packed I couldn’t be bothered to worry about blogging in a timely manner.    Shorts and a tank top in late November…must be Southern California… For the first time in as long as I can remember ever (!!) I got the holiday – PLUS it’s surrounding days – off of work.  Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… Read more >

Birthday week fun

My birthday week started last weekend with apple picking. After that we headed to lunch at Mendocino Farms.  As much as I love the place, it’s not conveniently located for me.  But since we had already been in the car for well over an hour, we figured what’s an extra few miles out of the way? Kyle got the Modern Tuna Melt which has “all white Albacore tuna with fresh herbs, farm house cheddar, vegenaise, housemade pickles, red onions, tomatoes, Scarborough Farm’s greens on panini grilled buckwheat.”  He nixed the pickles, obviously, and deemed it… Read more >

Photos of food

I’ll own it.  Since last weekend, I’ve been phoning it in here on HHH. Just plugging along as per usual – work work work with free time filled with potting plants and cheering on my husband.  And eating.   I’ve been poking my head into the Food Revolution truck every day on my lunch break to see if Jamie Oliver is there…still no sighting though.  I really want to show my lunches off.  Or ask for a job.   This was a salad with spinach, quinoa, & blackened tempeh.  So I think he’d be a fan….

His and hers lunches

I probably make or pack Kyle’s lunches 75% of the time.  He only eats on campus a few days a week and every once in a while it aligns with my work days.  Which means…   I can pack both of our food the night before and kill two birds with one stone. His differ in that they often have cheese and packaged health bars, but otherwise they are very similar.    I made his salad with spinach, tomatoes, falafel, sunflower seeds, and parmesan.   While mine had quinoa instead of cheese.    My breakfast… Read more >

Four day weekend [part 1]

Is there anything better than a long weekend?  Yes.  And that’s a long weekend house dog sitting here. With sunny weather, golf course views, and a well stocked fridge, there’s no reason to venture further than the community pool.  Agreed? We drove down to San Juan Capistrano on Thursday evening and stayed through Monday.  Some friends joined us for part of the time.  We cooked.  We ate.  We drank.  We relaxed.  The weekend may as well be titled “blissful nothingness”.  It was perfect. When we first arrived, the priority was dinner.  That’s what 3 hours… Read more >
