Don’t get excited…I’m only heading 2 hours South! Nothing hot and sunny I’m afraid…just a quick weekend trip to Seattle. :)
Today I have been racing around like a madwoman. I have a bad habit of not booking time off work when I probably should so I end up having to do my last minute stuff while I am working. Damn me and my committed work ethic!
Coffee served up a la Canada seemed appropriate…
And since I knew I wouldn’t have time to be making a big lunch I opted for a bigger than usual bowl of oatmeal.
In the pot: oats, water, UVAB, diced Gala apple, cinnamon, vanilla and flax meal…
On top: cinnamon, Craisins, toasted pecans, hulled hemp seeds, and brown sugar…
Supah filling. It’s been 3 hours since I ate it and I’m just now picking at the leftover apple with peanut butter and a handful of almonds.
Also packed some snacks for the ferry and am about to run out for a latte to sip before boarding. I’ve never taken the Victoria Clipper…I’m excited and worried at the same time. I have heard horror stories about sea sickness and since I am prone to motion sickness…well, eeeeeeek.
I already warned my friend John that when he picks me up at the ferry he very well may be carrying my pukey arse to the hotel. Yikes. *cross your fingers!* (Don’t worry, they sell Dramamine onboard!)
We have plans for a foodie paradise weekend as well as some touristy stuff and obviously a trip to Pike Place to get my hands on an SB mug. :) I’m pretty stoked about my trip to a Trader Joe’s too!! I’ve been writing up a list of things to look for, but I need you guys to help a girl out…
What should I add to my list?!!
I’m still considering perishables…not sure about transporting them back but I have it on good authority that I can buy one of those insulated grocery bags so we shall see. If there’s a Chobani section I will definitely figure out how to get it home!
Gotta run. See you from Seattle!
enjoy the trip lovely.
ReplyDeleteI throw the hulled hemp seeds right in the oatmeal near the end and I dont even notice them - that is unless you like them on top.
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest you add Fage to your list for yogurt. It was actually my favourite on my "yogurt tour of America" :-P when we went to Old Orchard Beach. Also the coconut milk yogurt was BLEH! I tried the So Delicious one and didn't care for it at ALL.
Have a fun trip! Jealous you get to visit TJs!
Mmmmm... I love hemp seeds in my yogurt or on my cereal. Yummer!jo
ReplyDeleteI take gravol every time I get on a ferry (I used to take Bonamine and prefer it but can't seem to find it anymore); I don't know for sure that I'll need it, but I can get motion sick in a car so I figure better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Trader Joe's.
I have always wanted to go to Seattle! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteNow that I live in San Diego, I always enjoy drinking coffee from my Starbucks Chicago mug. (where I'm from). Brings back good memories of home.
