What's on your Tuesday Menu?
on 12/12/23 2:09 am
Hello Hello! I had a pretty good day yesterday. Lots of running round doing housework stuff in the morning, then a trip to IKEA. Then I had a very boring and slow afternoon. I need to take another trip back to IKEA because the thing I wanted was out of stock but they said they will have it for pick up this afternoon :) I think I will head over to Costco while I am out. Otherwise, I just have class prep stuff to do, as usual.
QOTD: If there was only one retail store you could go to (not counting grocery stores) forever, which one would you choose? Disney has nothing on IKEA to me and I would spend every day there if I could! I'm not saying I started dating Grim because he lives 5 miles from IKEA, but it did sweeten the deal ;)
Accountability: One of the other amazing things about IKEA is their fresh cinnamon rolls. I had 1/2 of one.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I slept from around 10pm until around 1230...it's going to be a long day but I'm ready for it. Coffeemaker in the room worked, workout in and didn't require any mechanical interventions, lol.
so I mentioned the chaos of yesterday morning but let me tell you how my day ended. I didn't get back from the office until about 6 and had only had breakfast yesterday morning so I just dropped my stuff and walked to the restaurant that shares a parking lot with my hotel.
it's an Italian place. I order a glass of wine and a small goat cheese, pepper, olive and tomato flatbread....and then....she tells me...my meal comes with their ALL YOU CAN EAT BREAD BAR. 5 kinds of bread, 4 kinds of butter and you toast it yourself over their grill. The slices were small but I had an Italian bread with pesto butter, and 2 focaccia one with garlic butter, one with regular butter. I have my entire flatbread for breakfast and lunch today, lol. ALL YOU CAN EAT SELF TOASTING BREAD BAR and they don't even put it on the menu, they just tell you about it, lol.
qotd - Tattered Cover Bookstore. I have never been in an ikea although we have one here. Before it came here the nearest one was in Salt Lake City and I had friends that would drive there for ikea.
menu coffee plus milk x 2
flatbread until it's gone
probably something in my connecting airport if I'm hungry. I have about 2.5 hours so would work perfect.
have a terrific Tuesday!

Toasting is evil. Plain bread fills me up very quickly. Toasted, I can eat a lot. And it becomes a butter delivery system. I'd bet I could eat 2,000 calories of toasted bread and butter in one sitting.
Thank you for not including the name of the restaurant.
