Good morning – happy weekend! Did you get some snow in your area? We haven’t YET and I’m so frustrated. If I had known that the snow wouldn’t actually start until late morning today then I would have gone out for my training run. I was shocked when I woke up this morning and looked outside to see NO SNOW! Grrr – weathermen never get it right!
I apologize – yesterday I forgot my camera, so I don’t have many pics. I do have a photo of my breakfast, which was my first attempt at overnight oats. I followed Iowa Girl Eat’s recipe for this yummy breakfast.
It doesn’t look very good, but it was yummy! The coldness of this breakfast was a refreshing change.
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats (uncooked)
- 1 fat-free Vanilla Chobani Yogurt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- cinnamon
- 1 sliced banana
Then simply mix it up, refrigerate, and eat it the next morning. This made a ton of food and I could actually only eat half of what I made. I saved the rest for Saturday morning.
My day at work on Friday was filled with much less than food than the previous day. I didn’t have a morning snack and then my lunch was chopped carrots, tomato and cheddar cheese with balsamic vinegar. Then I snacked on 1/2 bag of kettle corn light popcorn and an apple.
After work my co-workers and I headed to Stone Street for some cocktails. We went to a new placed called Vintry Wine and Whiskey Bar. I don’t drink whiskey, so I went with some Italian red wine. It was very yummy. While we were there we also snacked on an array of appetizers. We had a cheese plate with parmesan cheese, goat cheese and brie. We also had knishes, something called “the egg” and some almonds and fruit. Here is the spread.
Everything was really yummy. After a few glasses of wine and the delicious food I headed home around 9:00 and spent the rest of the evening reading and cleaning a bit. I’m pretty sure I was asleep around 10:30 p.m.
For the rest of the day I’ll be doing laundry, cleaning and then heading to Avatar this evening. I’ll finally find out what the hype is all about!
What about you – did the snow, or lack of snow affect your weekend plans?
Have a nice weekend!
Eat, Read, Run 
What is that egg thing? Was it good??

We are getting NO snow at all in upstate NY! I’m going skiing tomorrow and I’m actually hoping that they made snow, how crazy is that?!?!
I was surprised by the lack of snow as well, though I find it funny that salt was still sprinkled everywhere…and here I thought Mayor Bloomberg wanted New Yorkers to lighten up on salt, ha.
Let us know what you think of Avatar! I have no interest in paying $17.50 for a movie that is so not my genre. However, I’ve been urged by many to check it out , so I might break down and see it while it’s still in theaters.
I’m from Baltimore, where there is 30-plus inches of snow. However, I caught a last-minute flight yesterday to Calif. to avoid it. My husband is still back there–I have a picture he sent of the snow on my site. It looks insane! I feel both happy to be away from it and guilty that he’s still there.
Wow that whole spread looks awesome! Totally up my alley. I went to chowderfest in Saratoga yesterday- it was freeeeezing but well worth it!
