Soaking Up Home

February 6, 2010

Hey hey!

Hope y’all had a great Saturday. Mine was filled with great friends, family and good food. What more could I ask for?! This morning I met up with two of my girlfriends at Starbucks for an hour and a half catch-up session. I had a grande awake tea with a splash of soymilk and a shot of simple syrup. Mmmm

The weather was GORGEOUS!!! After I left them, I met up with another friend for lunch! I had the hummus pita with fruit and he had….a big ole burger ;)

(I snagged a few of those killer fries, don’t you even worry!)
We took a nice walk in the sunshine, I went shopping and attempted to pack, pack, pack! However, I’m a horrible packer because I always get sidetracked when I find things that I haven’t seen in ages, such as my loved and weathered copies of Paradise Lost and British Poetry….also, lots of old photos and poems! I think I packed one box and then took a yogurt break.

And then tonight I went with my parents to one of my very favorite restaurants, Ceviche!!

I had almost a full glass of their famous sangria…

And then the three of us split the following:
Ceviche (obviously)—

And sauteed mushrooms with olive oil and garlic—

Your ceviche comment, ” Ceviche (obviously)” is something i totally would have said because I have a serious obsession with ceviche. No matter where I go, if it’s on the menu, that’s what I’m getting.

Oh PS, I have a great recipe for a quick and ‘clean’ red sangria if you’re interested ;)

Have fun at home!!!!

You’ve just eaten at my two favorite restaurants in Tampa! I went to law school in St. Pete, and I loved going over to Tampa for Columbia or Ceviche (Ceviche being my favorite). Any time we’re visiting the area, I always request Ceviche!!! Yum.

I’m so happy you get to spend this time at home! looks like you are having a great time!

You look so happy – like you’re having a wonderful time! I am the same way when packing/unpacking. I have trouble getting rid of things that hold some semblance of nostalgia for me, too – like my old books, etc.

your Ceviche looks incredible! glad you’ve not had to miss out on good food while being away from CA :)

Oh my gah! Ceviche is my favorite restaurant! My fiance was on business for two years in Tampa and he took me there for my first birthday celebration with him. It holds a very special place in my heart, plus it is so super delicious. Their escargot and their tomato based/manchego/eggplant dip is the best!

Diana @ frontyardfoodie February 8, 2010 at 12:35 pm

Sounds wonderful! I love spending time with family. It’s so rejuvenating. Especially when really good food is involved.

Wow … that warm bread with prosciutto and cheese looks fantastic! As does your hummus pita! I really have to start ordering healthier things when we go out, but I am a slave to the french fry, sometimes. LOL!

This is the first time I have visited your blog and I am hooked!!! I love your stories and writings on your ventures. You sound just like me! I love eating good food, and am obsessed with nutrition & working out/running. Your blog has inspired me to start my own food/life blog!!! :) I am a fan.

I love Ceviche!
Their eggplant dipped in honey is a truly religious experience.
