In a major change from our apartment in Brooklyn where it was stiflingly hot, I overslept this morning because I couldn’t sleep last night because I was too cold! I will never complain about lower temperatures though, I can always add layers, in Brooklyn I would have had to peel off my skin!
In spite of my late start I’ve managed to get most of my to-do’s for the day completed. We did a little bit more apartment organizing (almost done!) this morning and then I ate a juicy black plum before we headed out.
We drove up to the North Campus of UB, my campus, today to get our id cards and it accounts. The campus is a 20minute drive away which means I will have to be careful to schedule my commute around rush hours. My class is all at night anyway though. We needed money for the meter so we stopped at the campus Starbucks and I got an unsweetened iced coffee with skim milk.
On the way home we stopped by the public library. I can get a card yet because I have no mail addressed to me (you have to show proof of residency) but I am super excited to go back, it was HUGE! They even had a Mark Twain room 🙂
Now that we are home I’ve been doing all my school/business things on the computer and eating a late snacky lunch. First we cut into this bad boy (my hand is there to show the size) –
This was a Crenshaw Melon. I couldn’t really tell the difference taste/texturewise between this an a cantaloupe but it was fun to try something new.
Ours was a little too ripe so I ended up throwing out part of my last slice, I think we will have to use the other half for smoothies.
Next I ate a low-fat cheese stick.
And finally this –
This beauty was
- Stoneyfield YoKids Banilla low fat yogurt
- 2t fat free ricotta
- 1small banana
- sprinkle of cinnamon
It was so tasty it even looked enticing when stirred to mush.
In a bit we are going for a run (the same route as yesterday to see if maybe it doesn’t conquer me this time!) and then the plan for tonight is a low key dinner. Lates!
What new fruits or veggies have YOU tried this summer?
Eating Chalk 
that is a good looking bowl of bananas! i have tried a few melons at the farmers market but their names escape me. i bought a white eggplant i need to try! and i tried a pluot and loved it!
janetha – I had pluots last year and they became my favorite fruit! I am so sad I can’t find them this year 😦
YUM! This yogurt looks great. Sorry it was so cold. At least you got to sleep in, right?
she-fit – sleeping in is always an exciting benefit! (not that we don’t “sleep in” almost every day!)
I would always prefer cold over hot! I love to have layers on. 🙂
Your yogurt looks amazing – I would never think to add ricotta. Yum.
I haven’t really tried any new fruits or veggies this summer. I did have a reconnection with nectarines which are my favorite! It had been so long since I had one and I have no idea why!
Have a great run!
I agree–tis far preferable to be cold than hot, especially while sleeping! Hope you find a temp-regulating solution soon, though. Glad to hear the new apt is working out alright so far! Will look forward to hearing more about Buffalo!
