Flying Coffee and Park Benches

by jenna on November 9, 2009

Hey guys!

I hope everyone had a great Monday! This morning Kath and I were total food blogger geeks and had a massive coffee photoshoot in downtown Healdsburg. It was awesome :)

What can I say? Coffee makes me giggle and leap off benches.

We had a blast. I was so sad to see her off on her go….I need to plan a trip back to the east coast at some point! :)

Work was not nearly as fun as playing in the park. Almost, but not quite. I actually haven’t felt 100% all day….I think I just totally overloaded my system with glorious food over the weekend and I feel the need to detox or something. What I REALLY need to do is start juicing again…I have my juicer that I brought with me from Florida and I have all this amazing California produce. There’s no reason why not.

Anyways, lunch was a sandwich with hummus, laughing cow cheese, bread and butter pickles, avocado and spinach—

Carrots + a pear!

A crack pure protein bar for snack—

I got home around 5:30 and was STARVING (the icky feeling faded fast, apparently). Dinner was totally random but worked. All I did was roast 2 delicata squash and then mix the pieces into whole wheat couscous with tofu and mix the whole mess with thai red curry sauce.

That picture wasn’t the best….but I knew Kath would kill me if I used the flash…… ;)

My snackish-dessert tonight was a yogurt with a little bit of elite Hotel Healdsburg granola on top. Muhahaha

I was going to do more work tonight but honestly, I think I’m going to go soak in a really hot bubble bath right now instead and call it a night. Tomorrow I’m actually getting up early and going to a SPINNING class (can you even believe it?!) at my new gym.

Sweet dreams!

Have fun at Spinning! I’m going tomorrow too. I think your photos are looking great, can’t believe there is such a big difference between the 2 cameras but it’s true! Watch out for your ankle jumping off park benches ;) .

Love the picture of you jumping off the bench, very cute!
Jealous of your spinning adventure tomorrow, I just moved to spinning-less class Iowa:(

Healdsberg looks like the most adorable southern California town ever :) . And the photos you and Kath took are so fun, I’m glad you two and others had such a wonderful weekend. Hopefully the bubble bath will have you in tip-top shape in no time!

Yes, it takes practice learning how to use the manual but it’s worth it and your photos are really looking great!

I used to spin years ago…my biggest fear was getting eaten alive by the peddles. One slip and ouch…do you use clip on shoes?

Have a great time!

After a super foodie weekend, I always want to juice, too! Apple, kale and parsley is my signature drink. ;)

Good luck with Spinning! That can be a serious but-kicking experience. That hummus sandwich sounds so filling! I’ve been sticking to basic hummus and chesse, but the addition of butter pickles and avacado….yummm.

Glad you and Kath had such a great time. Headlesburg looks so quaint and beautiful!

Hooray for spinning! I love the classes at my gym – it’s a great workout and a good alternative to running. I try to focus on my upstrokes as much as my downstrokes – this helps strengthen all the leg muscles.

Love the sweater you’re wearing Jenna – where’s it from? Sounds like you’ve had a fun but hectic couple of days, enjoy your bubble bath :)

Your pictures made me smile– It’s nice to see you out and about enjoying and living life to the fullest!

P.S. there’s nothing wrong with taking a night off from work. Self-care is important and crucial to incorporate in our daily lives!

Have a wonderful day, lovely lady!

That hummus and veggie sandwich looks AWESOME. As does your park bench jumping :)

I love to see you so happy and settled Jenna – you’re such an inspiration!

Have a great spinning class! I’ve never done one before but I hear they are INTENSE!

When I overdo it, I want juice as well! Of course, I don’t have a juicer so I have to make do with some green odwalla or Naked brand juice. It’s pretty tasty but not as veggie-ful as I would like. The last time I overdid it (I had a cold and a guest in town so I ate really decadent dinners at restaurants for a week straight!), I found a place that actually does wheatgrass shots, so I had a wheatgrass shot and a carrot/beet juice. Yum! (Am I weird for thinking wheatgrass is delicious?) Unfortunately, this place is really far away from my house so I won’t be going there often. It did make me feel better though.

I agree with Kath, I think I need to move in with you . . . your neighbourhood looks so nice!

Doesn’t coffee make everyone jump off of benches in joy? Your sandwich combo sounds just great. I bet it was creamy and delicious.

Go you for not using the flash! I think the photos are lovely and the food looks fabulous. It looks like you and Kath had a great time around Heraldsberg – it looks like such a pretty area :-)

SO jealous! I was in Healdsburg in October (Columbus Day long weekend) and am absolutely in love and MUST MUST MUST go back. Seeing these pics, and the Flying Goat bring me back…can I work for you? I’m in PR, I could totally just be the publicity chick!! ;-) Pretty please?! :)

I’ve never been to spin… I guess I always feel intimidated by it, but everyone has to start somewhere so I don’t know why I am!

Looks like you guys had a great morning– I’m so glad that you seem to be enjoying CA so much!

Your sandwhich looks super yummy! It was an interesting combo but I could see how it would work.

Spin is awesome but totally kills the cooch. (Sorry, but it had to be said.) Your squash mix looks killer and I love the black and white sweater. I’m a sucker for horizontal stripes.

38 Kati November 10, 2009 at 6:47 am

I tried spinning once..it kinda hurt! I oughta give it another shot though ;) Have fun! I’ve noticed your hair is getting longer- are you trying to grow it out? I am!

I’ve been considering getting a juicer, but I’m afraid I won’t like any of my concoctions and it will be a waste of money. :( Maybe for Christmas.

Sometimes nothing is better than a big bowl of veggies and rice, you know? I think that’s why I like those Amy’s bowls so much! Although, making your own from scratch is always the best!
