Preparing For Shenanigans

Dec 29th, 2009 by jenna

Hey guys!

I took a little break last night and got some book writing done. I’m not going to get any work done for the rest of the week so I tried to be a wee bit productive when I had the chance

Yesterday evening I had the most delicious cocktail with my parents!

Gosh…I don’t even know the last time I had an actual cocktail. This was fun. It was a mix of tequila, muddled cranberries, lemon and agave. Dangerous!!

And then, we met Hardy for tacos at my favorite little hole in the wall. I ordered a chicken enchilada with no sour cream and a side of guacamole. I can never finish my meal when I order the regular sized enchilada entree, so just ordering a small plate of one enchilada was perfect for me. Pardon the rather crappy photo…I was having some technical difficulties.

This morning, there was overnight oats:

I’m getting some work done here before I pick my mom up to do some yoga. Then, it’s back off to the city to drop them off, pick up Anne (check out her post this morning! hahaha) and meet BethT at Tartine!

Shenanigans to come!

Holy moly – even with the “crappy picture” that plate of Mexican looks delicious! I absolutely adore hole-in-the-wall places, they really are the ones that serve the BEST food.

Have fun Yoga-ing with your mom!! I’m jealous!

Looks like a delicious cocktail. Have fun with the girls!! You’re lucky to get so many visitors in a row– it’s hard to get bored or lonely if you have people coming in and out like that!

What kind of Yoga are you doing?
I like your food philosophy Jenna – why not enjoy everything life has to offer versus extremes (like alot of Blogs I’ve seen…)?!

I love hole in the walls.

Also, agave in cocktails! That’s both awesome and dangerous!

Have fun with Anne, looking forward to reading about the Shenanigans. That’s right, Shenanigans with a capital “S.”

This post made me realize one of the beauties of blogs–ironically, in the speeded-up world of technology–is freeze-framing moments for more to enjoy…and when think about..your moments point to ours that are like them that we savor all over again. Pretty cool Neat post!

Forget the fog. Watch out San Francisco, The Girls are rolling IN!

Looks great!
on 29 Dec 2009 at 2:06 pm46OrganicAshley

Seriously Jenna you have the cutest clothes where do you shop? I know you are on a budget like me and I just adore all of your outfits so anthro!

Do you ever get sick of oatmeal? I’m gluten intolerant and find that oatmeal can get so old. any ideas for changing it up a bit? See you use a lot of almond butter. I’m going to give that a shot tomorrow morning.
on 29 Dec 2009 at 4:17 pm48Cynthia (It All Changes)

Hole in the wall places are best for mexican food. They just get it right.
on 29 Dec 2009 at 5:48 pm49daintyvegan

That cocktail looks amaaazing! Quick question, what exactly are “muddled” cranberries? I’m super tempted to try and create that cocktail for myself.
on 29 Dec 2009 at 6:07 pm50Katie

I had a similar drink recently in Denver, loved it! I must recreate it at home.
on 29 Dec 2009 at 7:10 pm51Joelle (The Pancake Girl))

I need to try some overnight oats!
