i just have to brag about the fantastic lunches i’ve had for the past two days.  three days ago, after work i visited the la baguette bakery near my library.  although it’s been there for over a year, i only recently discovered it and i hadn’t yet had a chance to try a loaf of their bread.  so i went and bought some bread after work on tuesday.  one of the loaves was an olive loaf that is filled with kalamata olives.  for the past two days, i’ve made a sandwich using slices from that loaf, roasted red peppers, farmer’s market spinach and local, yummy goat cheese.  today, i also added a salad featuring that same spinach plus apples, pecans, dried cherries, a tiny bit of red onion and annie’s goddess dressing.  oh. my. goodness.  super fantastic lunch made even better by the knowledge that i’d looked in my fridge that morning thinking i had nothing for lunch.  wow.  the clementines for dessert were just the exact right finish to the meal.  oh, and yesterday’s home-canned peaches were also a nice snack.  food can make me so happy–even more so when it’s somewhat healthy.  this meal could actually be vegan very easily.  all i’d need to do would be to substitute hummus for the goat cheese.  also a yummy idea.  hmmm… maybe tomorrow….

oh and one more happy thing for today–it snowed!  (i think it’s the first time this year, but i might have forgotten some from october or something….)
