OMG warm carrot cake?? Wow. Mouth watering!

Um, I’m sorry, but pink shearling purse = totally necessary! Glad you enjoyed your day off!

Funny how our schedules and lives can change drastically with each passing year. Fortunitely, it seems that you adjust very well!
Wow, warm carrot cake is definitely one of my favorite things on this God given earth!
So happy you had the chance to indulge in a few bites.
Which 90210, the new or old?
I love the pilot of the old one!
I chose the enchiladas because you can’t go wrong with Mexican! Though I do love throwing some white fish, onions, lemons, and herbs into parchment.

OH it was the OLD one, with Brandon’s big hair and Kelly’s mom was different! It was AWESOME and threw me back to 5th grade!
I’ve never been! J’s brother and SIL live in Evanston and are always trying to get us to go to the Sweet Tomatoes by them!
I voted!!! I hope you eventually cook the “en papillote” even if it doesn’t win – I’m HIGHLY intrigued to see how that works!

Your day off sounds fabulous! Sleeping in, brunch with friends, ice cream… what could be better?!
I LOVE spanikopita… hope you make that!
Sounds like a great day!
Make…
Something vegetarian, with rice or pasta, and/or squash or pumpkin. Have you tried any of those pumpkin/squash pasta dishes? Veganomicon has one, as do many others, but I am a little nervous about such a combo. Then again, pumpkin/pasta/sage sauce…How bad can it be? Be brave for me!

I am the first one to vote for shepherd’s pie! hee.

I haven’t been to Sweet Tomatoes in ages! This brings back lots of fun memories from times there in the past.
P.S. Ross and I are just as fun as you guys are.
(He’s currently grading…again…gah).

Haha, yes we DO change over the years don’t we?
LOVE the looks of that sundae! Sounds like Samoas cookies in bowl form:)

Hang in there with the schedule!!
I voted for the Spanikopita, my FAVORITE Greek dish

how interesting to see how we change our schedules over time… I just to remind me what was mine !
.-= coco´s last blog ..Apple picking & applepie making! =-.
Isn’t it funny how our schedules change over the years?! I sometimes slip back into my college-life schedule and then quickly realize that I just can’t handle that anymore. Mmmmm warm carrot cake
.-= Whitney @ Lettuce Love´s last blog ..Do you Want an Avocado Burrito? Heck Yeah! =-.
I think I would like Sweet Tomatoes, but we don’t have it here! That sundae looks great.
Those desserts? YUM. Honestly, the best thing I’ve seen all day! Love the new poll – off to vote
.-= K´s last blog ..Welcome Back =-.
OMG I loooove the 90210 pilot and all the old episodes really!!
Wow…crazy how much our schedules and lives change over the years–I look back at my life a few years ago sometimes and think WOAH…how did I do that???

Could be the cat’s fault. They don’t like their schedules messed up.

Tee hee, seven years ago I was barely getting to bed when the sun rose, but I also worked 5pm – 2 am. Even when I switched to mornings I couldn’t get my butt into bed until at least 2am. Now, I rarely am up past midnight on weekdays, and like to start heading to bed around 11pm.
And I MISS SWEET TOMATOES (or soup plantation as it was in SD). The salad bars here are good, but there was just something special about the huge selection of stuff they had.
