Key West Eats
We got there at about 2:30 in the afternoon and hadn't had lunch yet, so we checked into our motel first, which was located a few blocks form Duvall street in the historic part of Key West. The motel wasn't amazing, but it did the trick! ... There was also a restaurant, called Salute, right on the water that Chris had found online earlier, so we went there for our late lunch. They were out of Sangria, so I opted for a Beach Bum instead. For lunch I had the salad with apples, gorgonzola and walnuts.

We ate right on the patio, with the sun shining. It…

Does anyone else notice a difference in cooking (in the microwave) when using almond milk? It gives the oats a different texture and doesn’t absorb the liquid as well as water. I wonder why? In the mix 1/2 cup of oats 1/2 cup unsweetened almond…

A Seashell Cake
Today I am baking a cake. Its a simple white cake from a box mix, but the neat thing: its shaped like a seashell! Only in Florida… This morning I woke up pretty early so I went out for a foggy two mile easy run. The weather forecast this morning said beware of the fog while driving and allow an extra 20 minutes for the commute. This is their worst weather driving condition down here? 😉 I could get used to that. My run was okay, but for some reason my whole body felt misaligned. Maybe it just takes me a while to get back into the groove since I…
