    Weekend Happenings

    So far I’ve had a pretty fun weekend! Friday night after work Chris and I met some friends for dinner at one of our favorite places, the Albany Pump Station! We split the nachos for an appetizer but for dinner I went with something new, the lobster sandwich. I had never seen it on the menu before so I wanted to give it a try. Usually I get the veggie wrap but didn’t see it! I hope they didn’t get rid of it… Anyway, the sandwich came on a croissant which was a unique touch, it was good! There were some decent sized chunks of lobster in there. The menu…

    Harvest Fest in Washington Park

    Yesterday was such a perfect fall day! My sister came over and we rode our bikes to our friend Brendan’s apartment since we all wanted to go to the Harvest Festival in Washington Park. The  Honest Weight Food Co-op puts on the Harvest Festival in the park every year. They have music, local food vendors and vegetable stands. It was lovely! The bike ride down was really nice, too. So much delicious food to choose from! We also went to the table handing out goodie bags with lots of samples from the co-op! Of course I couldn’t leave without trying something! I had my eye on All Good Bakers‘ Pumpkin…

    Spectating My First Race

    In the past 3 years I’ve been running, I’ve ran 44 races. That is CRAZY. And in all that time I have never spectated a race! Well, today that changed. My friend Caitlyn ran the Joann & Nancy 5K Race for Early Detection in Central Park in Schenectady today and I went a long to watch her run and cheer on the other runners! I went to the starting line with her and watched them take off! GO Caitlyn! I walked to the other side of the park and caught them running around the lake. Here comes Caitlyn, running strong! Then I waited at the finish line and saw the…

    Saturday Brunch and a Book Signing

    Happy Monday. Or not. 😉 Saturday was probably the most eventful day of my weekend. I met my sister for lunch at All Good Bakers’ new location on Delaware Avenue. My sister and I split the Little Green Monsters ($5.50) which were chickpea sliders and the nOOb’s rOOb ($6.00) , a seitan reuben.   Our lunches were great. I added goat cheese to my sliders and it added just a great taste. I’ve never been disappointed in their food. I also really liked the reuben sandwich, too! We also split a vegan cinnamon bun fresh from the oven. It was still warm! It was seriously the best cinnamon bun I’ve…

    Lunch at All Good Bakers

    This past weekend Chris and I ventured out into the snow for a walk to All Good Bakers in Albany for lunch. I had been trying to get here for lunch forever! They have weird hours right now because they are in the beginning of expanding and moving to a new location so it had been difficult to go around my schedule. Saturday was the day! Their location is pretty awkward, right smack in the middle of the “student ghetto”, but it wasn’t a bad walk from Chris’ place…maybe 15 minutes. AND the great part was that we got 10% off our order for walking there since they are an…
