Hey!
I’m about to head in to work…Halloween party tonight and apparently they are having a little caramel making crisis over there right now that I have to take care of. 
This morning I met Kelly for coffee and we ended up chatting again for almost two hours!
Mmm french press coffee!
I was kind of obsessed with taking the perfect picture of my coffee mug….
I should have gotten this beautiful latte! 
I didn’t get home until 11:00 and then had to rush in the shower and make a quick lunch before a 12:30 conference call. I did get to sample some of this yummy new bread though…BlogHer Food seems like it was AGES ago but I wanted to take the time now to thank Arnold Bread for being my primary sponsor for the conference. As part of my sponsorship agreement, I agreed to review several of their products, which will appear on the blog for the next couple weeks. This is definitely one of the perks of being a food blogger!
Anyways, this bread is part of the Stroehmann Dutch line, which is also under the “Oroweat label” out West. I loved how SOFT this bread was and it made a delicious egg sandwich (1 egg, 1 egg white, hot sauce and muenster cheese). The only drawback to this bread was that there IS high fructose corn syrup in the ingredient list, which I was not aware of until now. However, it is 100% whole wheat and makes for a nice fluffy sandwich.
+ a pear for yet more food photography on my wood floor.
Alrighty—gotta jet to work now! I promise to tell you all about my costume later tonight when I get home. I feel sort of lame but oh well….you’ll see!

Eeek – can’t wait to see which costume you pick out! I’m not dressing up this year, wah wah :/
Can’t wait to see your costume!
I keep joking that I am dressing up as a yogi on halloween because I will be in yoga teacher training all day
Make sure to post some pictures when you pick out the costume! I still don’t have mine yet. Yikes!
Egg sandwiches make the best lunches-simple, delicious with protein to hold you over. Have fun at the party!
Have a great time at the party!!!
I LOVE egg sandwiches!
Caramel making crisis? That can’t be good!
I can’t wait to see your costume.
I hate dressing up for Halloween, I think it stemmed from the girls always dressing slutty in college. I can’t wait to see!
Eek don’t have my costume yet either. I think I’m going as sushi, thanks to the suggestion one of the other posters made!
Loving all the pics with the shiny new camera! Those coffee pictures are making my crave my afternoon caffeine fix!
I was thinking the same thing . . . the pictures are looking really good!
I hope your floor is cleaner than mine, or that would be one hairy, cheerios dust encrusted pear.
My roommate ran the Philly 1/2 marathon and got was able to snag 4 of those Stroehmann’s wheat loaves to bring home. We made tons of pb&j sammies, french toast, and bread pudding with that soft, yummy bread. I think ezekiel sprouted grain bread is the polar opposite of Stroehmann’s – but it’s still my fav brand. I love the heartiness and chew.

I am so glad you have found a girl-friend. That helps SO much when you move to a new place. Answered prayer tis good!
Your poor loaf of bread doesno’t have the best posture, but
I am sure taste made up for bad form!
I’m really interesting in your costume
Loving that sandwich, it all looks really fluffy
Loving the photos taken with the new camera!
love the photos with the new camera! can’t wait to see the costume!
Ahh – beautiful Healdsburg and new friends, lucky, lucky you. Count your blessings – great job, beautiful town and good friends already plus parties!!
You certainly seem to be getting to know your camera a little better! It takes amazingly clear pics!
your new camera is PHENOM!! however much you paid for it, it was worth it cause i’m adorrring the photos even more than usual
Excited for the costume. But, girl, high fructose corn syrup. That crud is BANNED in Australia. Not cool.
I can’t wait to see your costume.
I love that you are going to solve a caramel crisis. So funny!
Agreed… can’t get down with the HFCS, no way, no how… but I can give you props for your method of eggs, cheese and hot sauce sammie… great combo!
You can definitely tell that you got a new camera – your pictures look great!
I love Orowheat bread out here, it’s one of the ones I usually buy at the store, although I also don’t like the fact that it has HFCS. Maybe they’ll change it?
Have a good day at work!
That bread is so soft it can’t stand up! I love chewy, soft bread for sandwiches. Particularly, PB and J.
Looking forward to the costume reveal! Still don’t know if I’m going to go for it and wear one this year or not. Whatever it may end up being, it’ll be half-hazard and random. Maybe that’s what I’ll tell people.
“What are you supposed to be?”
“Half-hazard and random.”
Mmm that coffee looks so good! Your hardwood floors are seriously gorgeous, haha. They make a great backdrop!
I love orowheat! and you are out west now lol dont forget =)
I love Arnold bread; I’ve had that kind, and it’s great. A littttttle HFCS won’t kill us
An egg and cheese sandwich with fluffy wheat bread sounds like my kind of meal. And hot sauce really does go with everything! (OK, except maybe oatmeal…)
Love the new camera.
That latte looks like a work of art! Would you believe I’ve never had one!…and I’ve even worked in 3 different coffee shops during University ?!! Haha.
Halloween parties are sooo fun! Hope you have a great time…and avert the caramel disaster!
I like Chelsea’s costume idea! “Half-Hazard and Random!”
Where do you buy your Arnold’s bread by the way?? I’ve never seen it here – I live in Canada – but I guess alot of our products and stores are different…the closest WF’s is about 5 hours away in the ‘big’ city…and I still live in a populated city as it is!!
Will you post a picture of the swollen ankle?
Mmmmm, that sandwich looks super yummy! I haven’t had a sandwich like that in ages!
can’t wait to hear about the costume!!
jenna
do you try and avoid HFS? I do, and hate how a lot of breads contain it
can’t wait to see the costume!
I cant wait to see your costume! Halloween is never lame, I think that anyone of any age can dress up and still be cool
hehe i can’t wait to see your costume!
I need that camera!!
All of your pics so far look phenom! Maybe they will have great sales on black Friday?! 
Love hearing about your new journey in Cali. You live in one of my favorite places..EVER! Glad you’re living it up!
That latte looks fantastic. Also, the lighting on that wooden floor is great! How are you liking your camera? I bet it’s totally awesome =D
I love your new pics too!
cant wait to see your costume
Also I am so jealous of the photos that fancy camera of yours is taking!
You and Kelly look so casual/Peet’s Coffee on Fillmore St. [Pacific Heights] San Francisco. I just went t TJs and out to dinner in Carmel where had two glasses of wine and feel like crashing in front of the TV with the bag of Cheeto-like but healthier TJ product…but told the restaurant I’d blog about them so better get to it! Then the bag of Cheetos. Dinner, 2 wines, bag of Cheetos….not exactly a can of Slim-Fast…..Bwahaha.
Can’t wait to see costume. Especially if lame…those are even funnier!!
Egg sandwiches are sooo good. My mom always used to make them for my brother and I. Love them with cheese and lots of ketchup!
Can’t wait to see the costume!
Have a good time at the party.
Hey. Is that a tattoo I see on your wrist in that coffee drinking shot??
Hi Jenna. You have a great blog! All the food looks great and where you work is absolutely gorgeous!! Also, I found your philosophy on food very helpful. I hope your ankle feels better soon. Have a great weekend!
