Today was frustrating but fruitful (oh man, continuing with that alliteration!).  Everything took longer than planned and I have been crazy hungry all day but we did have fun and most of my to-dos are done.  I feel bad for the string of recap posts and/or quickie posts, but it’s almost midnight so I gotta do it.

I woke up early this morning to pack up so I could join my sister-in-law for church.  I ate half of this Lara Apple Pie Bar on the drive there.

After some reflection, we met the boys at Shoney’s for breakfast.  This spot would not have been my pick, but my eating style is pretty different from my husband and his family.  We all did the breakfast buffet.

I ate a plate of fruit,

and potatoes, scrambled eggs, and a biscuit.

I was annoyed by the lack of healthy choices, but the food actually did taste pretty good.  I haven’t had a biscuit (w/honey!) in years so that was fun.

After breakfast we set out – in the pouring rain – for home.  We stopped on the way for gas and I spotted this –

I’m sorry, I realize I’m 24, but I’m not from the states and I think stuff like this is frickin’ thrilling!  I totally had to make myself a milkshake.

Cookie Dough was tasty and I grinned for the next 80miles 🙂

Once we got home I started (still have to finish, whoops!) unpacking and snacked on a 100calorie Popchips sample.

I think salt and vinegar is my least favorite flavor.

Adam and I ran out to Wegmans for a grocery mission around 5.  That meant I had food, but still no time, so we decided to get dinner on the drive home.  Husband’s choice was Boston Market.

I got a half bbq rotisserie chicken sandwich on multigrain bread,

and a side of green beans.

I had never tried Boston Market before but I was pretty darn impressed.  The options were healthy (my meal had 475calories total) and tasty but quicker than you could do at home.  I thought the beans were delicious.

I had a serving of Lindt Sea Salt Dark Chocolate for dessert.

This is my new favorite chocolate, the saltiness adds so much depth to the flavor.

And then I spent 7-11:30 working on my Chemistry homework.  Yes, you did read that right: it took me 4.5hours to complete one homework assignment.  This class is kicking my butt!  I was starving again during my work so I made a quick snack.

I sliced a small potato, spritzed with evoo and sprinkled with dill and salt, and baked at 500* for 20minutes.  With ketchup.

Yums.  Homemade oven “fries” beat real fries any day!

The husband stayed up until 3:30 last night playing x-box with his brother so I am super excited to snuggle tonight!  Sweet dreams.

What is your favorite brand of chocolate?  Do you prefer milk or dark?  I don’t mind milk chocolate but I like dark a lot better.
