Dinner and the day

Today was Sunday and that means laundry and grocery.  I had oatmeal and coffee this morning and put the laundry in, went to the grocery, finished the laundry, went to the gym to ride a bike ( 13 miles in 40mins) and came back home to make dinner.

For dinner I had fatoosh:
(cucumber, tomato, onion, olive oil, lemon juice, mint),

homemade pita chips:
(salty lime and salty garlic),

a baked sweet potato and raw carrot.

Cardinal in the Holly

I looked out my window and saw a cardinal sheltering in the holly tree.  Wonderful.  :)

Fatoosh!

Well, the makings of fatoosh anyway.   I forgot to take a pic of the finished product.

Dinner

Carrots, guac w/ yogurt and crystals hot sauce, and an awesome gewurzt from michael.    I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this meal.
