Happy 10/10/10 to all my fellow number lovin’ freaks 🙂
Friday Kyle & I headed up to the Bay Area to spend the weekend with my fam. Saturday was harvest at my fam’s vineyard. and the Cal v. UCLA football game. And today, Sunday, we are heading back to So Cal.
Here are some pics from the weekend, some food, some not.
Eats for the I-5
Cheerios, raw nuts, pumpkin seeds, carob chips, and raisins.
PB & Jizzle (ew?) & Gingerfizzle (so glad Synergy Kombucha is BACK!!!)
K-Sizzle (ok, I’ll quit it with the -izzles now…)
Sabra hummus & Costco falafel
Kona begging Marie for a walk. How can you deny that face?
Marie showing Milo (post-walk) how to drink water (he’s not a big fan of the H20).
New product!
My parents always have a pantry full of snacks, and since I’m “the finisher” of the family, this bag had it coming as soon as I stepped in the door.
RiceWorks flavored gourmet brown rice chips.
There are six flavors and after trying the sea salt ones, I want to try all the rest. These were so good! Definitely nothing like the rice cake fluff I was expecting. Texture-wise they are like a more grain-y tortilla chip, but the brown rice makes the flavor totally different.
I decided to incorporate them into a dinner salad with spinach, strawberries, and avocado.
Crushed crunch.
The dried cranberries were a bit of an afterthought, but at least they got a photo, unlike the balsamic vinaigrette dressing (which never got it’s shot in the spotlight.
Kyle took these pictures of his own salad because he thought it looked so pretty.
His had leftover BBQ chicken, crumbled feta, cherry tomatoes, and carrots.
And yet he refuses to do a guest post…
What a cute ‘lil bugger.
Pre-gaming with my parents.
What a pitiful game :(
What do you do when you are drunk and your team just lost (but your parents’ team won)? Make them buy you a Mexican feast. CASA!!!!
My beast of a burrito. Plus some surrrrious salsification.
I made a huge bowl of guacamole for the fam to share with 2 1/2 avocados, lime juice, and pico de gallo.
Buritto butt.
It was a perfect summer fall day, so we all ate outside.
Grilled veggie burrito with both pinto and black beans.
If you are in the Bay Area, Casa Gourmet is a local hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint that is practically legendary in the neighb.
Good weekend.
