This post is a day late and a dozen pictures short, but I worked the weekend shift so it is what it is.  The good news – now this is a four day work-week with Wednesday off.  The better news – starting this Saturday I’m on vacation! <– I’m taking a looong, overdue break, practically three weeks off (I’m off two full weeks with a three-day week in between).

Here were the bite highlights from last week…

Soursop smoothie.  <– creamy, but not flavorful and not as exciting as I was hoping for

Coffee, coffee, coffee.

Nectarine Siggi’s with chopped angelcot (aka white apricot) and Heritage Flakes.

Vanilla Greek yogurt with dulce de leche and blackberries and apricot.

Pesto pasta from the cafeteria.  With peas, cheddar, and tomato.

Drinkable vanilla Siggi’s / rice crackers / yummy Ruby cherries.

I’m not even close to sick of watermelon yet this summer.

If I had to pick a favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry’s this would be it.

Crunchy cola marshmallows; I’m not sure how many other people would like these, but they are pretty much my new favorite thing.

Curried cauliflower salad.

I very loosely followed this recipe.  With uncured chicken hot dogs.

I made the fanciest salmon dinner.  And it didn’t even take that long!

Salmon roasted in thyme honey balsamic vinaigrette with roasted kumato tomatoes with balsamic.

Miso-glzed radishes.  <– apparently we love radishes, who knew!

Maple baked beans (pinto beans, maple turkey sausage, maple syrup, cayenne, red pepper, and more) and homemade cole slaw with golden raisins.

With a s’mores beer to round out the campfire vibe.

P.S. I’m turning 32 in less than a week, my birthday is next Monday!
