Fun, 2 reviews, and some love.

Thank you all for your support! Although I didn't read all of your lovely words until I got home (about 5 minutes ago), they really warmed my heart.

I'm really glad I brought the veggie burger - not just because it was 'safe' but because everything else had meat in it! I was a last minute invite - the menu was grilled bratwurst, baked beans with bacon, and a pasta salad with pepperoni. I would have been a starvin' marvin. I did have a pretty good time though - 'M' and I got to catch up, which was really nice. It turns out I knew one of her housemates, and the other one and I have 'met' on several occasions (she checks me in at the gym!). The girl's parents were a lot of fun. And... we got to watch the Food Network (love it). Even through ED, I've always enjoyed watching chef's do magic with the simplest or most exotic of foods. Does anyone else enjoy the Food Network as much as I do?

My food for the day....

Breakfast was banana mango oats! I wish I could have had some coconut and... that iPhoto didn't delete my picture! Sorry about it.

Lunch was a nice sammie with another handmade (or rather, titanium spork made) spread - black bean, tofu, and pumpkin! NOT the most attractive thing, which is why I won't be putting a picture up. But the sammie was delicious. On the side, I had three little 'sweet gherkins'. Tasty and crunchy. Not pictured: a sweet, crunchy apple.
When I was trying to fix my iPhoto, I ran across a picture or two of some more bars!

I picked these up at WF one day with a coupon. Kashi is always a good bet - tasty stuff. The nutritional stats aren't bad either: 140 cals (45 from fat); 5g fat (.5g sat); 4g Fiber, 5g sugar; 7 g protein. However, it didn't really keep me satisfied very long (maybe an hour and half or two). I can see these coming in handy at work for a snack though! Maybe I'll try some other flavors as well!
The elusive White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Clif Bar! It was good - but very sweet. I liked it, but I generally prefer 'lighter' tastes. I can see myself getting this when I'm in a very indulgent mood, but not for regular use.

Sohpia from burpandslup and Cacti Don't Cry gave me my first award!

Thank you so much - it means a lot to me to call you my friend.
