Guys! One of the headaches of blogging is dealing with technological issues and last night was just one of those nights. DreamHost (my server) wasn’t letting me log on and it was so frustrating that I eventually just stopped trying and went to bed. Lo and behold, she works just fine this morning so maybe ELR just was a little tired. Full steam ahead!
I hope Thursday was lovely….it’s now Friday so YAY! 
Yesterday I actually had a kick butt workout at the gym that included upper body strength + spinning. I had everything timed perfectly and after spinning, showered at the gym, drank some coffee and went straight to the winery, getting there right at 10:30.
Lunch was a hummus/laughing cow/avocado sandwich with the most delicious of pears:
Yummy bar later:
And then last night, I was having a serious craving for Asian food so I met a friend at this Asian fusion restaurant in Windsor called Chinois. We were both STARVING so we ordered chicken lettuce wraps and duck spring rolls to start—-
I ordered this tofu dish for entree with mung beans and scallions but…it wasn’t awesome. Actually, I had to dump sriracha sauce on it to add some flavor. Not impressed.
We both agreed that the WINE was MUCH better than the food……and the funny thing is that we brought the wine ourselves!
Thank you, Chateau Felice. We are totally obsessed with your wine, so much so that we drank the entire bottle between the two of us last night in one sitting. Sometimes it’s just totally necessary.
This morning, overnight oats!
I forgot to sign up last night for spinning this morning but I think I’m just going to show up and see if I can snag a bike anyway.
Then, it’s off to San Francisco!!!!
I haven’t mentioned this yet, but all day I’m actually working at the Amazing Grass booth at the Green Festival today! I’ve never done this before so I don’t really know what I’m getting myself into, but Brandon (my AG boss) says I’ll love it and I just get to hang out and talk about grass for hours. Woohooo!
It actually works out really well because my mom’s flight gets into the city at 8:45 tonight. And, I know this is short notice…..but if any readers want to meet me for a quick dinner at 6:30 or 7:00, EMAIL ME. I’ll be around and don’t really know where to go or what to do. Kind of in the mood for somewhere fun and vegetarian. Thoughts?
Alright—to the gym!

Wow! The Green Festival is amazing as are all the founders/participants. Will look forward to reading your post! And driving through the City at night from south/SFO is beautiful once get nearly to the City.
Ahh! My friend told me about your blog and that you’ll be in SF. I wish I could meet up with you, I’d love to pick your brain about blogs and readership! Unfortunately, I already have plans. However, I second the recommendations for Herbivore as a great veg restaurant! Enjoy your time here!
Banana House in San Francisco is by far the best Thai Food I’ve ever had. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall place that is pretty authentic. If you don’t try it tonight, you must try it sometime!
Also, I tried Della Fattoria in Petaluma for the first time yesterday. It’s a bakery, coffee shop and restaurant in one and the food is farm to table (the farm is in Petaluma). It was AMAZING!

I would say go to Greens. Amazing vegetarian and beautiful view on the water. Millennium is good but much more of a sit down and have 5 amazing courses of vegan food paired with wine. Greens is quicker and amazing. I would make a reservation. I am headed to Delfina for dinner tonight & looking forward to that.
I used to LOVE Herbivore when I lived there. Awesome vegan restaurant!
You have a boyfriend don’t you
Who is this mysterious “friend” you keep hanging out with??
Have fun this weekend!
Sounds like fun! I love just hanging around talking to people. I’m working a packet pick up tonight. San Fran I know has some amazing vegetarian places so I’m sure you can find a delish dinner.
Can I ask where you find those Pure Protein Oatmeal Squares? I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t seem to find them. I’m dying to try!
thanks!
Hope you had a great day! And hope you enjoy the week off with your mom! You will have a blast!
Yum, lettuce wraps! Have fun at the festival!
Glad the wine was good.
I’m really excited for you that your mom is coming into town. There’s nothing like “mom time” when you haven’t seen each other in a while. My mom and I are very close so I can just sense your happiness in seeing her. Have the best time, can’t wait to read about it!
If I still lived in Sonoma County, I would totally drive to SF to have dinner with you, Jenna : )
The chicken lettuce wraps look yum but it’s so disappointing when a restaurant doesn’t live up to your expectations… Enjoy San Fran!!
Wow.. the lettuce wraps and spring rolls look amazing!! I think I’m in the mood for Asian food now too..

Those lettuce wraps remind me of PF Chang. Sorry the tofu dish wasn’t that great…at least there was wine!
