I don’t know about you, but I’m not quite in the swing of things yet with the “new time” (thanks daylight savings). I am however absolutely loving all the sunlight at the end of the day!
Today was super busy. I had an early morning meeting, so I just packed up some Great Harvest honey whole wheat to take to the office. I just toasted it and slathered on some Barney Butter for a quick and filling breakfast.
Work was crazy busy, per the usual.
And I went to Zumba after work. I was feeling really tired right after work and almost skipped class, but I’m so glad I didn’t. I felt so much better after 1 hour of dancing cardio fun. Yesssss!
Post-Zumba, I headed out with some friends to Amelie’s – a local French bakery. I was really excited to get food there because I’ve only ever stopped in for pastries. I’ve never eaten a meal there, but I’ve always heard good things.
I didn’t have my DSLR on hand, so I just snapped a couple quick (and grainy) photos using my iPhone.
My friend Erica and I are amazing food-share friends. We almost always choose the same things to eat and therefore can just order up a bunch of stuff to split.
We shared this turkey/brie/cranberry relish on baguette sandwich.
I also had some spinach, asparagus, and leek soup (yum!) with some fresh baguette on the side.
Plus we shared a small plate of macaroons – cinnamon chocolate and pistachio! Love!
I definitely want to come back some lazy weekend afternoon with my laptop and kick back and get some good blog work and blog reading done. Maybe even some book-reading, too. Yeaaaa let’s get “crazy.” lol 😉

There’s less than 2 weeks left in my Time Management Challenge month. How are you doing with your time management skills? Seeing any improvement.
- Remember to think about all the time you can save and productive things you can do by not using that snooze button.
- Mind your time.
And I have a couple other tricks up my sleeve.
Details soon. Kay? 😉

Do you like to share food or do you prefer to order all meal items just for you?
I love having friends who love to share! My good friend here loves to order the same things as me so we almost always end up ordering things to share or at least have a bit of the other’s 🙂 The best way to try lots of things without eating too much!
“The best way to try lots of things without eating too much!” – Exactly! 🙂
I LOVE Amelie’s!! 🙂
Yes! We’ll have to do a bloggie outing there some time! 🙂
I ALWAYS prefer to share food! Its good my husband and friends are the same way! When we go out, we always order a bunch of different dishes- put them in the middle of the table and try everything!
Amelie’s food looks great! If it is my husband I’m sharing with than fine, otherwise I’m not too keen on sharing a meal with others.
i love sharing! my mom and sister and i will often share. my husband never wants to, but that’s partially because we have very different tastes when we eat out. 🙂 i’m not too fond of sharing with friends though… gotta be family 🙂
Do you not like sharing with friends b/c of the germs? You know I’m a BIG germiphobe! hahaha Luckily, my friends are super understanding and usually let me get first dibs. hahahaha
I like to share food 🙂 then I don’t end up overeating 🙂
Those pistachio macaroons have been my favorite lately. I can’t seem to go to Amelie’s without ordering a couple.
I think I could eat a box of them! lol
Sometimes I share, but if it’s something I love and don’t get often than no way!
I have never had macaroons! They’re on my “want to try but haven’t made a legit effort” list.
Omg, you MUST try macaroons soon! Do it for me! haha jk 😉
I agree that sharing food when dining out is the way to go, makes the dining experience more fun!
Yum! That meal looks awesome. I love the name of that bakery: Amelie’s. Reminds me of the movie 😀
What movie? Is it good? Is it in French? 🙂
It’s called Amelie (or Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain) with Audry Tautou. It’s French. It’s one of my favourite movies!

I just watched the preview on imdb – looks like a great movie! Thanks! 🙂
