I found Fage!

I’ve only been at this food blog thing for 4 days and already I’ve had a failure. Well, not a failure in the food. Just a failure in my camera preparedness. I promise to do better in the future.

First, my battery was completely dead this morning when I made my peanut butter & blackberry jam toast. Nothing exciting. Same thing as yesterday morning. Afterwards my husband and I headed into town to run errands. He dropped me off at the grocery while he went to get a hair cut. I had a pretty successful trip except that they were sold out of organic honeycrisp apples because there was a sale on them this week. Boo. On a happy note, I did save $55 with coupons. That made me happy, but my real victory of the day is that my grocery has started carrying Fage! They only had two containers left and I bought them both. This probably doesn’t seem like a big deal to many of you, but it is to me. The closest Whole Foods to me is almost 2 hours away and the closest Trader Joe’s is just over an hour. The natural & organic food section at our grocery is just one very small corner of the store and doesn’t carry a great variety of brands. It makes me sad.

My husband met me outside after I’d checked out and helped me unload the bags into the trunk. I was really hungry so I grabbed one of the Luna bars I’d just purchased. They were on sale this week and I was inspired to try a new variety, Cookies ‘n Cream Delight, after reading this post over at Eating Bender. I think this is now my favorite flavor ever from Luna. It really does taste like an Oreo cookie. I’m glad I bought two on this trip and I’ll be buying more later. The camera battery was still at home on charge so no picture.

After the grocery we came home and I did some cleaning and laundry. My parents and my mom’s friend drove down and we went out to late lunch/early dinner with them to celebrate my dad’s birthday. There’s a restaurant near us that he loves called the Old Canal Smokehouse. I truly think the only reason they visit is so they can eat there. lol

Camera faux pas #3: I forgot to take it to dinner! It’s really a shame because this restaurant is heavenly and I would have loved to share pictures of the food. Guess that just gives me an excuse to go back soon. I started with a side salad of mixed greens, cheese & the most delicious sun-dried tomato dressing in the whole world. I really wish they’d sell it by the bottle or give me the recipe. My mom and I split an entree of red snapper with foccacia salsa made of diced tomatoes, sliced black olives and some various peppers that made it a little spicy. On the side I had wild rice. I also had one of the baby cornbread loaves they’re famous for serving.

Not much else going tonight. We didn’t make definite plans because we weren’t sure what time my parents would be coming. There was a Wii rematch following yesterday’s annihilation. This time I dominated! Right now we’re relaxing and watching National Treasure 2 while I catch up on blog reading. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
