Baby party BBQ

This afternoon we helped celebrate avery's first birthday by eating
BBQ tritip and sheet cake. Avery is a neice on randall's side of the
family and her pop matt makes a really mean tritip. Actually, he made
two.


While there I hung out with a bunch of rugrats and we had a pretend
tea party. One of them served me a glass of chicken coffee. Wrap your
head around that. It was apparently a cross between chicken soup and
coffee. I told the rugrat it tasted disgusting.



sidenote: I did eat a couple of bites of cake. Melissa is at a
wedding today and we planned on giving each other a cake pass for the
day. You know, just so you don't think I was cheating on this no
sweets thing.

Added to the list of things to avoid

This morning Randall and I set off for his sister's house. She's about
2.5 hours away so it was a mini road trip. In my mind road trips are
the reason fast food exists. And while I generally avoid fast food i
make an exception for road trips and make a double exception for mcd's
breakfast sandwiches. However my idea didn't go exactly according to
plan. The traffic, the detour, and the timing threw it all off and
there wasn't a mcd's until after the breakfast cutoff (insert bitter
seriously you couldn't make a uturn argument here). Unfortunately at
this point I was craving eggs so nothing else would suffice. With
breakfast being cut off everywhere else we pulled into a starbucks
where i ordered an English muffin with egg and bacon. Seriously, this
was one of the worst thugs I'd eaten in quite some time. The bread was
rubbery and soggy, the bacon was gross looking and had the consistency
of wet tissues and the egg, well I'm not totally convinced that it was
an egg. The saddest part of this whole story is that I ate the whole
thing.

Who wants a meal when there are snacks to be had?

Randall and I failed on the gialina pizza front this evening. Our
consolation prize ended up being a trip to the new whole foods. While
there I stocked up on yummy things like carrots, apples (honeycrisp my
fave!), hummus, figs, salami, and bread. When I got home I decided
that this was what's for dinner. Ps. Melissa they have the honeycrisp
apples!
