Rollin’ With The Clouds

December 26, 2009

Well, we had two brilliant days of sunshine out here on the coast and then today is the foggy NorCal weather we all know and love. It’s okay though…perfect weather for reading under blankets! ;)

This morning I woke up incredibly early and made a yummy bowl of oatmeal:

I used 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 2 egg whites, 1 banana and 1 T almond butter. The egg whites made the oatmeal extra fluffy and added protein…this might become a new standard!

I read for a couple hours while my oats digested and then did another 90 minute yoga podcast. And, while in forearm balance saw another WHALE! I love whales! I think seeing whales (and sea lions!) has made my entire trip. I mean, what’s cooler than a whale? Really now.

I snacked on some unpictured almonds + an apple and then went to this cute local sandwich shop with my parents for lunch.

I was eyeing the veggie sandwich but a little apprehensive because a veggie sandwich can either be really good or…..really bad.

It was REALLY good!

I’m not even sure how it all fit in my mouth actually. The prime definition of stuffing your face was displayed. ;) This had cucumbers, pickles, roasted red peppers, avocado, jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and olives on soft whole wheat bread. All it needed was some HUMMUS! ;) I ate the whole thing.
I really should get some work done this afternoon…..but first I plan to finish my book. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will clear up a bit so I can go explore this super sweet tree fort I found yesterday but didn’t take any photos of. Yes, I am seven years old.
Have a great December 26th! Only a couple more days left till 2010…..

Hahaha it cracked me up when you said that sandwich needed hummus. I would have said the same thing! I feel like most veggie sandwiches need hummus. But that looks delicious. I’m jealous of all this reading time you’re getting!

Hi,
I’m so glad your enjoying the Pacific. I grew up in Oregon (no live in Maine) and loved the coast and sea animals. Your pictures bring back memories.

I have a quick question. Do you only use Xanthum in your protein ice cream because that is all I can find. I can’t figure out the difference guar gum would make or if you just need one to “turn it into ice cream”. Any thoughts. Keep enjoying your family and holidays.

I agree with you — veggie sandwiches are either hit or miss…most the time misses — at least in my experience. Glad to hear that yours was good..it looks it!
