Pumpkin Banana and Nuts

It's bread, it looked good but I didn't feel like eating any....

We were at the coffee place and I was waiting for someone and started talking to Libby
Her BF brought her the bread and she offered me some.
It looked really interesting and she said it was very easy to make.
I love banana bread but I was a little wary about the pumpkin even though my sister made some years ago and it was really good.

This is the coffee place

Ok here it goes

Yeah for Tristan :)
He totally gorged himself on artichoke, sundried tomato, and Gorgonzola pizza before we limed together.
AND he made me work to figure out what type of pizza he ate.
Then he told me that his favorite was....
Venezania which is Black Olives, Capers, Onion, Pine Nuts and Sultanas (a.k.a. white or yellow raisins).

I can't find a really good pizza so maybe I will make a small one and take a pic of that.
WITHOUT onions of course!

Just Ok

I bought and it was just ok

I dont dislike it but it wasn't my favorite thing

:(

What the band Eats

We went to listen to Irish music

This is what the band had.
Just that.
Later we saw this

Hummus and stuff

We got all this at the same place

The pic isn't mine. I borrowed from Google Images :)

Taleggio Mushrooms

preheat oven to 375 F
put 2-3 portobello/field mushrooms (the big flat ones) in a baking tray
take out the stalks
put 2 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp balsamic vinegar in each cap
bake 15 min
add a thick slice of taleggio cheese on top of each
bake until melted
served with hot olive ciabatta and a rocket and tomato salad

also good with boiled new potatoes

Slow cook

Two hours and 45 minutes at 300 F.

Fifteen minutes at 450F

No need to check on it at all...

Well seasoned

Delicious

Tomato Land

I love this place.

Its just so in tune with EARTH!

The food looks good, it's outdoorsy

The workers there are dirty and sweaty from soil and lugging stuff around

Mostly the food is fresh, except for what they keep in the freezer etc...

Another day

The rain was falling really hard and my friend wanted me to go to eat some dinner.
We went there and for dinner I ordered an appetizer for my dinner.

It came out quickly but the service is so bad in this place.
My friend waited 40 minutes for his meal
When it came out it looked dry and awful.

I felt sorry for him.

At this place

I had pretzel crusted grouper
Creamed spinach and some baby potatoes

Was good.
My friend had seafood linguine

The appetizer was bacon wrapped, jalapeno chicken bites.

Confusing

So I went to diner with my friend and we talked and talked and talked.
Then we had this interesting dessert
A hamburger and milkshake
Fries = mangoes
Ketchup + Strawberry sauce
Burger bun = Donut
Tomato = Strawberry
Burger patty = Brownie
Cheese = White chocolate

The thing is It looks savory but tastes sweet so it confuses your brain, even slightly grosses you out!

LC vege

Once again I am trying hard to low carb vegetarian it for a few days.
Just to see if I feel healthier.
There are a surprising amount of resources!
SO I am gonna try it and see how it goes...

Kettle Corn

One of my favorite snacks
sweet and salty at the same time and even better the next day when they are semi stale...Oh so good.
My friend and I used to buy a huge bag from vendors like this guy (well not exactly like THIS guy- he was dancing and singing while he mixed),

and we would share it..we would feel ill after a while and save it for the nxt day and eat it while watching movies
So gross and sooooo good hahah

British and together

We all went out to dinner
Seating was hard for such a big group.
I missed my friends who were in England so I decided to have fish and chips. Gaby took a pic of the menu in their honor :)

My friend who got the mini burgers despised them because of the onions...I would too
They were all wet and mushy and gross. :(

So she was starving afterward because she didn't eat them
Then more people had Italian looking stuff
Then this- chicken skewers. I think he wasn't satisfied because he some of ours too!

Relaxing

SO we all met up and sat on the floor and had such a sweet time
Here was what we had
Tea and juice

I had mango
Za had banana
The rest had black tea with and without milk

Home for lunch

Kam didn't prepare his lunch the night before so he had to go home and prepare some. He sent me this pic
Porkchop
Boiled potatoes with dill dressing
Cooked cabbage

MMMMM sooo good!
I know its good because when he cooked for us that time at his party it was yummy.
He's been dispensing his recipes to us ever since. :)
