>Hiii y’allll,
Happy Friday! Hope your weather is as beauuuutiful as it is over hurrr! 😎
As I mentioned yesterday my run put me in kind of a stinker mood. That combined with working late and missing out on some sweet happy hour Indian food. So what’s a gal to do? Move on, get yo productivity on (aka scienceland for me) then meet your Manfriend for a late-night delish and romantic dinna!
And that, I did. We went to Cafe LaRuche, a cute little French restaurant in downtown Georgetown. Food had a very “home cooked” feeling.
^My dish: Grilled chicken seasoned with various herbs, side salad with house dressing.
^His meal (much better than mine): Grilled trout with veggies in a garlic tomato sauce.
Even better than the food, was the ambiance:^Adorable outdoor patio (picture doesn’t do this place justice)
And even better than the ambiance….

His:
^Totally forgot what he had. I assure you it was delicious however.
Hers: ^Chocolate mousse
Mmmm.mmm.mmmm
This morning I woke eyes-glued-shut and warmed up some oats I made (in da jah) the night before: ^Love getting one last meal out of a practically licked clean jar of PB! In the mix: 1/4 cup oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 scoop Sun Warrior vanilla protein, 2 tbsp egg whites, 1/2 frozen banana, raisins, cinnamon, stevia, dash sea salt. Perfection.
Eyes stilll glued shut, I made my way to Caffeine Heaven. While waiting for the metro to arrive (about 3 mins) my Venti iced coffee w/ soy went from this:
To this: ^Can’t slow down with that crack. ha.
Well I’m about to analyze today’s experiment and get the heck outta here. Have a great weekend!!!
QUESTION: What are your wake-me-up morning rituals???
xx,
