a walk in the woods
Andrea
I hope that each and every one of you had as lovely of a weekend as I had. Some friends were in town, which meant great company, lots of restaurant-eating and much vino. I got to catch up with two of my best girls from grad school and participated in a wedding food tasting with one of them who is getting married here in C'ville in May. So fun! Other highlights included a walk in the woods, an afternoon nap, a trip to the running shop and the viewing of Slumdog Millionaire with my hubb, which I highly recommend seeing if you haven't yet. All-in-all, a very satisfying weekend.
That being said...I was a bad healthy food blogger. Not only with my dining-out choices but also with documentation. The food I ate at home (breakfast) was unremarkable, and the remarkable food I ate out is undocumented. I thought that I would offer you a lovely baked bread instead of a food journal recapping my weekend, but failed miserably at adapting a recipe out of Baking With Agave Nectar. Not the book's fault, I'm sure, I just messed with the recipe a bit too much. I can't help myself! So, note to me, when trying to bake with new ingredients like silken tofu (its called for in nearly 1/2 the recipes in the book) perhaps I should follow the recipe exactly until I get the hang of it...
So instead of a lovely baked good, I give you a few pictures from our walk in the woods. So sunny, so serene, so left me wishing for spring...
And I'll be back in the kitchen tomorrow...I do hope you'll check in. As my pantry door shows, I've got plans for the week! Hopefully the rest of the menu will be a bit more successful than the first item. :) G'night!
PS: LRM is a trip we're taking with friends in April. The fig blondies and marshmallows have already been requested after they saw them on the blog, so I'm keeping a running tab to make sure nothing is forgotten! :)
PSS: My foot is feeling better so I'm going to try a run tomorrow evening. I'll give a full report, don't worry! Thank you all SO MUCH for your continued support and advice...you are amazing!!!
