Buffalo has finally arrived to hot hot summer weather (ie we hit the high 80’s today) and it was the perfect afternoon for a sundae.
I ate exactly one serving of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and was pleasantly surprised by how large the serving was (when I’m not eating it by the container, ice cream is one of the things I use my food scale for). My bowl was super bulked up by the additions of chocolate syrup, a tiny crumble of coffee cake, and a nice juicy plucot.
I’m loving the summer produce today, this was the first plucot I didn’t taste and toss this year!
This evening was spent at my first blogger meet up!
L to R – Katy (a reader), me, and Katie (a reader and IRL friend). A few people had to bail at the last minute so it was a pretty teeny “meet up” but the small group meant we could have a real conversation, yay! Of course I was lame and akward and I’m sure I could have used the buffer of a crowd, but I had a great time.
We went to Saigon Cafe since they can work with meat-eaters and veggies alike. Katy ordered the summer roll appetizer and shared a piece with me.
And I ordered the Pad See Eiw special – extra veggies, level 5 spicy – for my dinner.
Extra veggies meant tons of squash which was delicous, and this actually had a bit of spice to it (though no where near as much as I’d like).
Good food, good conversation, good meet-up!
Katy and Katie both had long walks home so I went with them. We stopped at the Co-op like good healthy living blog readers should. I went home with Katie to try on her Lululemon Ta-Ta Tamer. I loved it (yay!), but determined that my boobs are ginormous (yay?).






Uhm, did you happen to mention what restaurant you were at?!
Saigon Cafe (I updated my post).
How fun! I’ve only had one little blogger meet-up, but it was a blast. Glad you had a good night!
Thanks Emily! It was so nice to meet you guys. Next time we should get ice cream. Pluot sundae looks great, btw!
I was great to meet you. And ice cream meet up sounds fabulous; sooner rather than later if it doesn’t cool down soon!
Wish I could have made it!!
Me too! We’ll have to get together soon and talk dietetics.
Hey there! Another Buffalo blogger here (my main site is http://www.natalieeatsbuffalo.com) and I’d love to join next time you do a meet up! Love to meet more like-minded friends in the area!
Nice to “meet” you! I am totally looking forward to doing another meet up this summer, I will definitely let you know when!
