Dog in a bag
Need I say more??
FYI, I’m betting my sister is squealing looking at this photo right now. If any of her coworkers are reading this, please let me know if she’s squealing!!
Breks this morning was awesome despite being scarfed down in the car, on my commute.
- eggwhites sauteed with peppers & onions
- 1 pz turkey bacon
- 1 pz American cheese
- HOT sauce
- whole wheat mini bagel
Where did I leave off yesterday?
Oh…lunch. Lunch was quick b/c the hubz and I needed to go out to run some errands (groceries, pet store, donate clothes, etc). So I heated up the remains of El Mexicano from the other night, wrapped it up in a whole wheat tortilla, and sliced up some pear. Very filling!
We rushed out the door, after a morning of computer work, with our list of errands in hand, and quickly found that just about every store is closed on Easter.
It was surprising to me that SO many stores were closed. We bounced from empty parking lot to empty parking lot, getting more and more frustrated as the day went on. Finally, we got to our grocery store, which was open. The drugstore next door is going out of business, so we swung through to see if we could get any great deals of their selloffs (we did!). Leaving the store, we head back over to get groceries, only to find it closed while we were putzing around the drug store.
I was livid at this point. We gave up and went home. LOL, must have been being punished for not being religious or something.
After all that frustration, I was starved… 
- Dubliner cheese on TJs whole grain crackas
And in need of a drink…
- Merlot with a side of cookbook
Does anyone else read cookbooks for pleasure? This was how I chose to relax (on the chair-and-a-half). Hillary decided she needed to do some reading too.
Um, please ignore my crazy hair and scrubs. This was post workout (40mins in the gym).
I spent much of the late afternoon, early evening in the kitchen. I made…
- creamy pesto sauce (for tonight’s din)
- Crockpot curried lentils and rice (debuting later this week)
Sunday nights we typically have pizza for din. Well, even our dang pizza shop was closed. So I resorted to homemade (it was grrrreat)…
- Boboli whole wheat crust with pizza sauce
- Asiago cheese
- peppers & onions
- sprinkle of hot red pepper flakes
With a GIANT salad
- spinach
- green leaf lettuce
- cukes
- carrot
- maters
- sprouts
- dried blueberries
- almonds
- goat cheese
- drizzed raspberry walnut lite dressing
The whole set (with a Shipyard IPA on the side)…
We ended the night with another Netflix…Reign Over Me (Don Cheadle & Adam Sandler). It was a pretty powerful and very real movie. I think Cheadle can act his ass off, and handle any role with brilliance. And honestly, Sandler was outstanding as a regressed, depressed individual. For anyone that’s dealt with major depression or mental illness, this film portrays a superb portrayal of the reality of it (not overly downer…just very real). I highly recommend it.
Whew…bizzy day. Hope y’all had good ones!

Meg~ aka the sister! says:I did SILENTLY squeal and tee hee to myself!!!
And I KNOOOOW, we were surprised with how many things were closed too, like OUR GYM!!!! Oh well, you know that means I did more laundry and had 2 glasses of wine with a yummy dinner instead.
I believe this is the SECOND pic of the hubz with a “dog in a bag”… Nellie Grace… I rest my case.
LOVE YA!

K says:I’ve tried to put my dog in a bag before because she’s so tiny but she won’t have any of it. Her four little paws go in all different directions like Bambi!
That does sound frustrating!! A glass of wine (or three) would have been needed! Yes, I read cook books for fun - I actually did yesterday

Liz (ready.to.lose.lbs) says:I frequently read cookbooks for pleasure! I love browsing through them and usually mark a few pages that I want to come back to. Of course I do have an entire bookcase full of cookbooks so it’s good they don’t just sit there
I actually had the opposite experience yesterday - I was surprised how many places were still open. Maybe that is because, living in the Bible Belt, I just assumed everything would be closed? I took my pup to the vet, shopped at Trader Joe’s, had lunch out, went to the gym, and picked up some groceries… I thought I would end up spending the whole day as a shut-in so I was quite shocked.

Rose says:Dog in a bag. Shoot, Erin. You kill me!
This looks like a super weekend even though many of your stores weren’t open. I felt the same way about not being religious. Some family members were hurt I didn’t call. Weird.
I was near Johnstown, PA, this weekend - about 1 and a half hours from Pittsburgh.

Elizabeth says:Mmm - your pizza-salad-beer combo looked so good, I insisted on having that for dinner tonight even though the hubs wanted enchiladas.

Lori says:That breakfast bagel sounds so great. I can’t get bagels here and it makes me crave them like crazy.
Cookbook reader here as well. I love my Joy of Cooking. There is so much valuable cooking and ingredient info in there I get caught up in reading it all the time.
