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.
I 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.
May 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
I 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.
I want to go to Trader Joe's.
I have always wanted to go to Seattle! Have fun!
Now 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.
