Where Did the Week Go?

This week started out like any week with my Monday morning whining and profanities.  It got a little better and a little worse as the week moved on- it was an emotional roller coaster really.  But now I'm back and kicking!  Plus it's Second-Best-Day of the week!  I've been chasing my tail this week, so please try to sit through my very random post.

Did I mention that we started out our week with weather reports of SNOW?  This may not sound like a big deal to you but here in the SF Bay Area we do not do snow.  More importantly, I do not do snow.  Yes, I am from the land formerly known as the Soviet Union, where it snows like crazy, but this chickie does not condone any snow activity or precipitation in general- both make me melt.

Please note the snow-covered Prius in front of our car on our commute.  Insanity!

In my uber-busy week, there have been very little food highlights, but I did try a new snack at work:

This is a whole wheat waffle with goat cheese and strawberry jam.  Believe it or not, this was all free food from my work fridge and freezer.  Not bad, right?

I did supply some of my own food this week- most notably ketchup with a side of butternut squash and brussels sprouts:

I have no idea what that white light is in the center, but I'm convinced it's a ghost.  Other eats this week have included dates, almond butter, chocolate (which lost its healing powers) and lots of coffee!
Hubby, my esteemed co-blogging colleague wanted me to show you his lunch and dinner from Tuesday:

Both included organic chicken roasted in maple BBQ sauce- a big hit!  He also gets bonus lunchroom smelly points for the sprouts- a prize that I now share with him.  It's like being the kid with the smelly lunch in school- any good cafeteria stories for me?

I remember bringing my lunch when I was in Kindergarten and first grade and my mom used to make me a sandwich with this Russian chicken patty with lots of garlic.  It tasted fabulous, but when we went to our cubbies to take our food out, the aroma of garlic came from my ethnic little lunchbox.  It was still awesome and I didn't care what people thought!  I still don't care when people think my food is strange!

Hope you are having a great day and a great week!
