Lunch Squared . . .

Yesterday-Monday had last minute lunch hook up with Awesome Co-Worker.  She happened to be going to Whole Foods to run errands and I opted to go with.  We did food bar for lunch and ate on the nice little patio at the Whole Foods.  In Alexandria, Whole Foods was a massive part of our existence.  I'd say one of the saddest things about moving to Texas is the lack of Whole Foods in general and especially in The Woodlands.  Point being- I have missed you mightily Whole Foods.  Especially your big ass food bar!  I didn't see any of the strawberry shortcake like you used to make in Alexandria though.  Probably a good thing I didn't get to eat any though.  Hubs has asked me twice now in as many days if I am putting some weight back on.  WTF? Answer, not that it is any of your business: NO I AM NOT.  Back to the food bar:

Followed my nose to some Indian food and got a potato samosa, chicken tikka and chana masala and some naan.  Samosa was pretty good.  Not as good as the ones I pick up from the farmers market, but it did the trick.  Chicken Tikka was pretty substandard. Not much taste in the sauce or the chicken. Edible though so I ate it.  You know me. . . . chana was awe-some!  i just stirred it all together and mopped it up with the naan and was a happy camper.  As I said to ACW, "curry makes me happy."  Maybe a little too happy, but who cares.  Curry made Baby Awesome happy too so there you go.  Countdown has more or less begun for maternity leave for ACW.  Yay for her, boo for me.

Chana hiding under the naan.
Food bar I'll give a 3.5 due to the weakness of the chicken tikka, but it is recommended.  Whole Foods rarely does any of its food poorly in my experience.


On to today, Tuesday.  Ninfa Express bean and cheese burrito with guacamole and tomatoes and fresh tortillas!  when I say fresh I mean they took them right off the griddle thingy then boom! Made my food.  Sides of Mexican rice and some spicy ranchero beans.  $4.99 for all that too.  Can't eat that a lot though b/c that will for sure make me fat.  Reminds me-have to sign up for new session of the boot camp aqua torture class.  Did I mention I signed up to run a full marathon next year?  SO stupid.  I am fairly certain I will live to regret it.  Right now I am totally not into it at all.  Oh well.  I have until January.  And I will still be saying that in November.

"Hot sauccccce?"
Ninfa's burrito I'm wavering on.  It's not quite a 4, but it's better than a 3.5.  Well, whatever it is it's recommended.  Hasta luego beet-chez!
