Grocery Shopping with Bloggers
Today was awesome! The Blends (Blogger Friends) and I went on a day trip to Hadley, MA to visit their Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods for some grocery goodness! Katie, Courtney, Emily, the other Emily, Heather, Rebecca and I all piled into Cynthia’s super van. To Whole Foods we went! First stop: Whole Foods hot bar!!! I was starving by the time we got there and loaded up on good stuff. This just looks like a mixture of everything. In the mix: Fruit Salad (at the bottom) Roasted sweet potato (at the bottom) Noodles Falafel Pineapple quinoa salad Sesame Tofu (amazing) Vegan chicken salad (at the bottom, and completely amazing!)…

Rays of Light and the Drum Circle
Yesterday I spent my Sunday with two of my friends, Brendan and Laura, hiking in Woodstock, NY! We went to overlook mountain, where Brendan, Julie and I went hiking earlier in summer. Its about a two mile, easy hike up the mountain. It was a gorgeous day. Creepy ruins of an hold hotel. Amazing view, again! This time with some fall colors! Can you see the rays of sunlight? On the fire tower. It was COLD up there. The hike back down went quick, but for some reason its harder on the knees and feet. My toes end up hurting! We headed into the village of Woodstock for a quick…

Colossal Sandwiches and Carousels
So, according to Chris, I wussed out on eating a sandwich from Primanti Bros. Truth be told, the sandwich was just too huge for me to bite into all at once. 🙁 Yes, there are fries and coleslaw on that sandwich. I ordered the egg & cheese (since all of the other sandwiches at Primanti’s have meat on them). The egg & cheese part was good–but I didn’t know what to make of the fries on the sandwich. I took most of them off. The sandwich was…interesting. 😉 But I suppose eating at Primanti’s is a “must” while you are in Pittsburgh! It’s Chris’ favorite place here. 🙂 Chris, on…

Exploring Pittsburgh
Greetings again from Pittsburgh. 🙂 Chris and I decided to see the sights (and eat good food) today. It all started here. DeLuca’s Diner supposedly has “the best breakfast in town“, even the guy from Man Vs. Food came here! Chris has been determined to have me eat at all the Pittsburgh staple restaurants while I’m visiting, so DeLuca’s was the first stop today! DeLuca’s had a very hometown diner kind of feel to it! Chris ordered a “mixed grill”, eggs, meat, and veggies. So much food! I, on the other hand, decided to go with the Strawberries & Cream Buckwheat Waffle. I’ve never had buckwheat before, but it didn’t…

Fried Pickles in Pittsburgh
Welcome to Pittsburgh! Chris and I arrived in Pittsburgh this morning (we’re here to visit his parents), and got here just in time for lunch, since we flew! We went to Hofbrauhaus, the German Beer Garden. I guess Hofbrauhaus is also a popular Beer Garden in Germany, and they are suddenly popping up in big US cities. Of course, we ordered beers! I got the Hefe Weizen, a sweet wheat beer. Today, I ate my first fried pickle. Not that its a big thing or anything. I don’t really eat fried foods that often, but I had been hearing lots about them lately. We ordered the sampler app, which came…
