What I ate Wednesday

Haven't done this in awhile.  It isn't because I haven't eaten anything good, it's pretty much because I've been MIA.....

Breakfast:
Anyway, this morning I had some extra time to actually make breakfast.  I had to attend a workshop and didn't have to be there until 8:30. This means that I didn't have to get up at 5:30, but could get up at 7:30 or so.  Two whole extra hours of sleep, complete *Bliss*

Ever since I watched the MasterChef episode where they had to make eggs three ways, poached, soft boiled and omelette I have been on a mission.  I've tried the poached several times and still can't seem to perfect it. I've done the vinegar thing, but maybe it's because I only had cider vinegar. I just can't seem to get all the white to not spread out. Grrr.....
If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them!

So this morning I decided to poach an egg.  I don't have any of those cute little egg cups.  They are on my Christmas wish list.  

Lunch: 
The workshop that I was at served lunch buffet style.  Not what I would typically eat for lunch, not to mention that hot lunches always make me super sleepy.  They had fried chicken, a greenbean medley, a creamed corn dish that was super yummy, fried cod, fried oysters (see the theme with the main foods?!), a pasta salad, rolls, crab soup, potatoes and some other side dishes.  The potatoes were yummy, whatever they cooked them in. 
Yeah, I have a huge plate full, kinda wanted to try a lil of everything.  I just couldn't stomach the oyster.

There was also cake for dessert, I'm not usually a huge fan of dessert, but I tried it, free is free after all.  It had strawberry layers and some raspberry sauce.  It was meh....

Dinner: 
I only wish that I could have found a yummy heirloom tomato for my dish.  C'est la vie.  

Day off- Breakfast

Post Workout Breakfast: 

Gary and I rarely go out for breakfast.  He loves it, and I'd rather eat lunch or dinner foods. I still eat breakfast because I know it is probably the most important meal of the day.  Gets you going and speeds up your metabolism.  But, being a day off we decided to grab a bite to eat from one of our favorite little hill places.  I'm never very hungry after working out, but Gary got our favorite, sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted bagel.  Nom Nom! G is always kind enough to let me eat a bite of his food. Everything is warm and the cheese is gooey. YEAH!

I got their cranberry and orange bagel, plain, not toasted. There is NOTHING like a fresh bagel, slight crunch on the outside and soft in the middle. New Jersey and New York seem to have them best bagel places and DC, MD and PA lack in those areas, but this little place comes through.  They aren't overly huge they are misshapen, as bagels should be.

I washed this all down with a delicious glass of of chocolate milk with straw of course. If you know me, I drink everything out of a straw- well all cold drinks that is.  Please also note the bag of sweet-tarts behind lol, there's always candy near by, such my downfall.
