life’s a bowl of cherries

Cherries are my favorite thing right now.  I just got a big ole bag at the grocery store the other day- yum!

When I got up this morning I really wanted french toast, so that’s what we had!

I took a few slices of this awesome whole grain bread that I got at the bakery yesterday and let it soak for a few mins in some eggs+milk+cinnamon.

Then fried it up in a pan.

Topped it with a drizzle of Agave nectar, then served with a little bowl of cherries.  Twas amazing!

Justin and I pretty much sat on the couch most of the day and did nothing.  I read for a while, then I went and took a super hot bath, then I read some more and watched food network.  I swear I’m getting SO increadibly lazy.  I haven’t worked out in like a week.  I need to get back on track with life!

For lunch I made some “oven fried” okra.  I let the okra hang out in some buttermilk for a few minutes, then I tossed it in some cornmeal.  A little salt and pepper, then let them hang out in the oven until toasty and brown.  “fried” okra must be consumed with lots of ketchup!

And now I’m done with my book.  I decided after reading and re-reading Twilight so many times that I should try something new.  I had heard a lot about the Sookie Stackhouse series and a lot of people raving about True Blood so I decided to give it a shot.  I got the first book in the series yesterday and I finished it today (yeah, I read fast).  It was okay, but I’m not really all that impressed.  🙁

I’m not sure if I want to continue the series or not.  The books are cheap, so it’s not like I’m wasting a ton of money.  I’m just wondering if it gets better I guess.  I don’t know.  I might just re-read Harry Potter since the next movie is coming out soon.

Ah well.

Dinner was a fun pasta thing that I just threw together quickly.  Sauteed some squash and zucchini, add some jarred pasta sauce, miz with noodles of choice (whole wheat of course!).  Top with a little cheese, put under broiler.  Easy and really tasty!  I couldn’t even finish all of it.

Served with a salad with honey mustard and some warm bread with BUTTER!

Then we were off to the movies!  We went to see the new Transformers movie at midnight.  It was great!  Everyone really needs to go see this immediately!  It was kinda long though, so I was so tired by the time we got home so I went straight to bed without even thinking about writing a blog.
