Chili and The Fringe

I am so happy that tomorrow morning I won't be waking up to the sound of my alarm going off. This morning I felt like throwing my clock out the window, but I didn't. After all, it's not the clocks fault that I have to wake up, it's just doing its job.

I'm not sure what's on the agenda for tonight... maybe dinner and a movie? I'll have to check IMDB to see if there is anything worth going to see. For dinner, I would love to go to Zephyr Vegetarian Cafe. Last time we were there, I got the best cup of hot apple cider. I could tell that their cider didn't come from any store! Yum, yum.

Last night was pretty kicked back. Well, actually, a lot kicked back. I was so tired that after dinner, I parked myself on the couch and watched Thursday night television. My husband is anti Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, so I watched The Vampire Diaries and The Fringe instead. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to watch Grey's online! ;) I really like The Fringe though. Have I ever told you that I love all things Sci-Fi? Yep, I'm a big nerd and proud of it.

For din-din, I made vegetarian chili with beans, red bell pepper, yellow squash, onion and garlic. I always saute a bit of olive oil with cumin seeds first before adding the garlic and onions-- the cumin seeds give the chili a really good flavor. I served the chili over whole wheat penne pasta... it was delicious!


Breakfast was tasty, too. I had waffles with a strawberries, raspberries and blueberries poured over the top. For the berry topping, into a pan I threw a whole bunch of berries and then sprinkled them with 2 tsps of sugar and let them simmer on low for 5-6 minutes.


For lunch I packed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which I ended up eating during my 1o o'clock break. My sandwich was really small- so small that I had to get a salad at noon from the cafeteria. My salad consisted of romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes and lowfat ranch dressing.


After work, I was starving, so I ate the quickest snack possible... an apple with peanut butter spread on top.


Wow, I'm hungry now after talking about all this food, plus.... typing is such hard work, right?

Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Have a wonderful Friday the 13th!

It is really good... I'm a creature of habit so I generally order the same thing when I go, but my husband reassures me that everything else on the menu is good, too!
