Breaking the Code

I hope everyone is having as fun of a time away from work/school/life this weekend as I am.  It has been one of the nicest and most relaxing weekends!
We started with enticing my parents to come over for breakfast in exchange for my dad's genius house fixing skillz.  Quite honestly, I don't know what he did but he fixed stuff and made it look pretty.  My mom brought us some of the food we ate.  I don't see their benefit in coming over, but they must like us!

Breakfast had a few standbys and some new stuff.
Grapes and strawberries:

Cheez:

Egg sandwiches:

Date, cheese, homemade chocolate dipped strawberries (made this morning at 10, by your truly), and nut plate:

Lemon squares (so good and so GONE in one day) for breakfast dessert:

Thanks to my mama and Trader Joe's for bringing some super delicious treats!  Thanks to hubby for caffeinating me to human form!  I had an egg sandwich and lots of bites of fruit and almonds.

Today I had no formal workout, but we did take a walk for who-knows-how-long to Best Buy and back home.  When I have extra time I feel bad if I don't get a workout, but I wanted to spend more time with hubby since he has to go back to work tomorrow and I get to play all day instead.
I just know that when we left it was lunch time and we came home in time for linner!   I had another egg sandwich, some veggies, and some leftover dates.  I rationalize that dried fruit needs to be consumed before it goes bad.  To each his own.
This evening I have been chewing gum and watching movies!

I used to be a gum connoiseur until I realized it gave me stomach aches, but I had to get this new flavor.  It's basically amazing.  I chomped on this and sipped tea while watching two documentaries.  One was called Breaking the Mayan Code, all about hieroglyphics.  I love that junk!  We also watched a documentary based on Michael Pollan's book The Botany of Desire.  The book was one of my favorites and the documentary was really interesting to watch.  I would definitely recommend it since it brings up a lot of great points about the plants around us and it gets 2 enthusiastic thumbs up from hubby.

Do you have any dorky tendencies?  I love learning about ancient cultures and food science!  I also get really excited when I get food for presents!

My sister in law got me this chili mango and delicious chocolate. So excited to try both!
