Mama Day




VALKYRIE! Go see it. So good. And eat a Banana Bread Larabar while you're at it, just like I did. 

Good evening! I don't know why this blue link is showing up, but it's annoying me, too. GRR.  I had a great workout at the gym today, thanks to Miss Bella Swan (I'll be finished with the series soon, and after that I promise I'll stop being so annoying).




I don't know if any of you all have this problem, but Safari never lets me rotate pictures, even if they're already saved right-side up.  Bah.  I went to Whole Foods and got some sushi:


 My mom and I found some AMAZING sales in Union Square (including a pretty new gym bag!).  Across from a store where we found beautiful designer dresses for 75% off (!) we spotted this adorable little wine bar.  


We each got a glass of Vouvray, which is sort of the "house white" in Paris.


While making dinner tonight, I snacked on some carrots.


The last time I went grocery shopping I found this great whole grain blend.  I decided to cook some of it up tonight.


I finally made some Gliding Calm tofu at home, for first-timers Ari and his brother.  We don't have a glass baking dish so I just used a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.  The result was a little less saucy and carmelized than usual, but it was still good.  We also had some steamed spinach... this is my go-to meal at school, but I don't want them to make them go back to eating college food!


Sliced apple for dessert (so far, so good...)


I also had a gingerbread buddy covered with a thin layer of PB and chocolate frosting.


And then came the Oreos.  The problem with these guys, which I never forget, is that, like Pringles, once I pop the fun can't stop. I've already had FOUR of these and I have a feeling that it's not the end of the insatiable monster within me.  Oh well, as I always say: tomorrow is another day.


Hope you've had a great Friday! Bonne nuit.

i saw valkyrie yesterday and thought it was awesome!

i can't rotate my pictures either so i just gave up and don't take vertical pictures on my camera anymore, it's a real pain.

i think oreos have some addictive drug in them---the government really should investigate.

I looks like you had a nice day with your mom! It doesn't get much better than shopping and wine.
