The heat has it

The dogs spent the day panting - it was HOT here today!

I have been trying to eat more regular meals - so this afternoon I ate half of this bar as a snack.

I am also trying to get more protein in my diet so this bar fit the bill. It was a little chocolaty and not too sweet. Perfection.

For dinner, I raided the freezer.

Leek soup.

This soup has greatly improved in flavor the more time it spent hanging out in the freezer. Definitely a re-do.

And since this was the last of the batch - I will have to make another big pot of soup - I just have to decide what kind to make.


The coolness of my dessert was much needed today:

Red grapes.

I am excited because tomorrow I am going on a 'field trip' to a foodie place I have been longing to go to for forever.

I am not sure when I will get to post tomorrow - it will probably be on the late side - but I will have lots of great pictures!!

Lost things

I spent 2 hours this morning looking for my Garmin. 

Of course, this made it clear why having things organized might be something I should strive for in the future. 


I must have put it down in some random spot while in an endorphin induced state of euphoria after my last long walk with the dogs. 

Why does it feel like I haven't walked at all if I haven't measured it on the Garmin?

Lunch was leftovers.

Leek soup and pickled cucumbers.

Just as I suspected the pickled cucumbers were even better after sitting in the fridge for a few days. I am going to have to make more of these.

I am off to continue my battle with the kitchen.


Maybe I will find my Garmin in an odd place like the produce drawer in the refrigerator :-)
