Hi gang!\u00a0 Last night Scott and I watched a horrific movie called Casino Royale.\u00a0 Perhaps you’ve heard of it?\u00a0 Yeah, we’re not huge movie watchers so it takes us a while to get to a movie.\u00a0 And last night I wasted 8 hours (it was a long movie, yo) of my life watching this drivel.\u00a0 I do not find Daniel Craig attractive at all, the storyline was awful, the dialog stunted, and the fight scenes silly.\u00a0 And don’t even get me started on the lame opening credits scene.\u00a0 There was a highlight to all of that though!<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/p>\n

This glorious piece of pie.\u00a0 I inhaled this along with some tea.\u00a0 I focused more on the pie than I did on the movie and yet I seemed to have missed nothing at all.\u00a0 Go figure.\u00a0 Next time I’ll stick with the cheesy Sean Connery Bond movies, at least those are ridiculous in an outdated way.\u00a0 Because the movie ran late, I didn’t get to bed until 11:30ish or so but no worries because I got to sleep in till almost 8:30.<\/p>\n

This is pretty much unheard of because Rocky does not let mom sleep in.\u00a0 Oh sure Pops can sleep in till 10:30 but mom apparently needs to be up and at ’em!<\/p>\n

I took care of him and made myself a bowl of pumpkin oats.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

I made a bit more this morning and took my time eating it as best I could.\u00a0 I did a new twist on the coffee and added a bit of vanilla extract to the milk, it gave a nice little rich aftertaste to an otherwise basic Monday cup of Joe.<\/p>\n

The rest of the morning was spent working on “the dream”.\u00a0 Emails and lots of organizing on my part.\u00a0 Plus laundry because we need to keep it real and remember where we are from.<\/p>\n

The ‘Burbs, where laundry always needs washed and coordinating faux workout outfits are always in style.<\/p>\n

After breakfast and before my second cup of coffee, I ran Rocky out for his walk.\u00a0 Mother Nature has decided that since Thanksgiving is over, that means we are in full on winter mode because Thanksgiving day was amazing.\u00a0 The day after was crappy and we’ve had cold weather ever since.\u00a0 It snowed Friday and today we had the classic “wintery mix” happening this afternoon for a bit.<\/p>\n

For those that don’t know, Wintery Mix is basically Mother Nature having the runs all over you.\u00a0 It’s not rain and it’s not snow, but slush falling from the sky and splattering all over the place.\u00a0 But since this is a food blog, I’ll stop with the unpleasantness talk.<\/p>\n

Let’s move on to lunch!<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n

Which included plenty of roughage of my new favorite combo. This will keep appearing until the Feta runs out or I get tired of eating it, whichever comes first.\u00a0 You have been warned:<\/p>\n
