Product moved

First things first: the cakes were a success in class last night! I did not have to bring any home with me, so my plan to move all the sugar out of my freezer was effective. I just have two little chocolate cupcakes that wouldn’t fit in the tupperwares to cart up there, and that’s it. Phew, cake-overload disaster averted.

Also, in honor of my birthday yesterday, I went shoe shopping at Payless. This is irrelevant to food on the surface, but it’s actually connected because food is the only thing I have spent money on since starting grad school. Until yesterday, I hadn’t bought shoes in two years because I needed the money for groceries. Evidence:

Yes, that is the sun shining through the hole in the sole of my shoe.

Here are my new friends:

My feet are happy.

Back to food, I had an early egg salad dinner around 4:30 before heading up to class. To make the salad, I chopped one of my Eggland’s Best peeled hard-boiled eggs and mixed it with 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 1 tsp dijon mustard, paprika, dill, cayenne, and one cup chopped arugula. I topped it with 1/8 chopped avocado, coarse sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Dessert took place at class, of course 😛 My cakes were so good!

It’s back to the grindstone for me today. I have one more paper left, and it’s not going to be a fun one! It’s due Thursday morning, so you know how I’ll be spending all of today and all of tomorrow … with a little fun break for an exciting event this evening 🙂

Will you be taking any fun breaks today?

    Love the shoes Sarah! Especially since they are vegan! (I checked Payless’ website.) I, as you know, have a shoe-buying issue . . . I could never last two years without purchasing shoes, let alone two months. In fact, I’m considering a trip to Payless this weekend to check out these kitten heels: http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?skuId=068638130&productId=64505&subCatId=cat10276&catId=cat10088&lotId=068638&category=&catdisplayName=Womens+
    (They too are vegan, of course.)

    My son got himself some goalie equipment over the weekend so I have a date with him after supper to whale pucks at him the driveway! That should be fun! 😉

    Cute new shoes and I’m happy to hear that your cakes were a success….although I knew they would be!

    No doubt the cakes were a hit!! Yummy! 🙂 You must have had VERY pleased classmates hahaha

    Great looking salad! Yum!

    My fun breaks usually involve looking at wonderful food blogs or hitting the gym. I may go for a walk in the sun with a colleague this afternoon to de-stress.

    Cute shoes too!

    Enjoy your day and good luck with the rest of your assignments!

    Your cakes look lovely! Good job.

    My breaks today include a run after work, and hopefully a walk around the San Diego Zoo (yeah, I have it rough!).

    Yummy looking cakes! The chocolate cupcake looks divine! Glad there was no overload for ya!

    And cute shoes! I’m contemplating getting a new pair of crocs (malindi) today, justifying with the fact it was Mother’s Day and my anniversary on Sunday.

    I’m glad you asked because, yes, I did take a fun break today. I actually had to leave the office for a doctors appointment in the late afternoon. The appointment didn’t last as long as I had anticipated, and there was no point in heading back to work, so I used my “free time” to run at my favorite lake. I also went out for frozen yogurt. While the evening was serene…it pales compared to this Foodbuzz shindig you went to. That looks totally fun. Make me wish I was living in the city again, instead of the burbs.
