What could be better than a day in the sun with the people (and pets!) you love most?
Very few things, my friends… very few things…
OH WAIT… It can get better when it all concludes with THIS –>
A bit of Disney Monopoly and
a) 1 Margarita
b) 1 Martini
c) Red Wine
It’s bizarre getting older and drinking with parents. I’m still weirded out by it getting used to it..?
Either way, today was incredibly fun and MUCH needed after the week I just had.
Luckily, sunsets tend to help with stress.
Since this blog is so new (umm… as of this morning) I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume it’s safe to say that none of you know the back story as to why I’m even on this unexpected yet FANTASTIC vacation with my parents.
Short and simple version? Identity theft happened last week. Ouch.
I freaked, left NYC for Philly (where my ‘rents live) to deal with the situation, and they decided we should all take some time to relax in our home in NC. Not sure about you.. but I’m not one to pass up a free vacation, especially when it involves my fantastic parents 🙂 Aren’t they cute?!
Moral of the story, today was lovely, and I am thankful.
Oh … and I had some delightful treats along the way, as well 😉
Good Eats Time–
Lunch was wonderful! We went to Poor Richard’s Sandwich Shop in Manteo, and I had a turkey breast sammy on wheat with a side salad. I ended up wedging the chips in between the sandwich layers because it just makes everything… well… BETTER!
For dinn, I chefed it up for the ‘rents. What did I concoct? Just a tasty delight of Indian lentils, rice (buried under my pile of lentils), naan, and a salad.
I think it’s the dietitian in me that always makes sure greens are available during each meal… even though I don’t always eat them. Tonight? They went essentially untouched (I decided my empty stomach space was going to be devoted to a second helping of lentils AND dessert).
Dessert happened… twice… neither of which was photographed.
Both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Win!
Over night oats are awaiting me in the morning :-D. Double win!!
Question–
Is there anything you feel you have to include in a meal to make it a “meal”?
I MUST have greens. My mom always included them, so I think it’s something I inherited.
Good night! I’m off to explore the world of bloggery for a bit before bed.
Wow, I think I just COULDN´t go drinking with my parents 🙂
Disney monopoly sounds like fun:) How did you enjoy your overnight oats? I have to get used to them, because I was always a “hot-breakfast” lover, but now I enjoy them a lot!
I must include greens to my meal as well, and some sort of legumes most of the time. Without them, I feel a bit “incomplete” :))
