Hi guys!
Hope your Monday has gone well. It was pretty darn gorgeous outside and I got out for an hour bike ride, which was lovely. However, I don’t think my lunch properly fueled me for my ride because midway through, I started feeling really light headed and HUNGRY. That’s what I get for eating a small Trader Joe’s salad and an apple for lunch:
Needless to say, I TORE into this glo bar post ride:
I took my work outside for awhile but ended up going inside and taking a 45 minute nap…..oops
And then, it was Indian night! (Gina, you were there in spirit!)
Indian food by the coast…..not sure what could be better.
Baigan Bharta:
Naan:
Zin:
Indian soap operas:
Perfect.
I felt so pensive.
Hahahaha 😉
Night y’all!

March 22, 2010 at 9:08 pmI LOVE Indian food. When I lived in Korea, my friends and I would go every Monday night to the best place and order the exact same things every week. It was heaven. 😀

Julie
March 22, 2010 at 10:23 pmOhh! You should make that last pic of you the one that is up in the top right corner of the page. (Yeaaaah, not sure what that spot is called).

March 23, 2010 at 3:56 amHow beautiful! The food, the scenery, and you’re not half bad, either, lol. Can’t wait to see what gorgeous stuff you have to show us when you go to France.

March 23, 2010 at 3:58 amI love the way the light is hitting the restaurant in all of your amazing dinner pics. Three cheers for natural lighting!
Indian food is easily one of my all-time favorite cuisines. I’ve been eating it since I was just a kid, thanks to my sister’s in-laws (all traditional Eastern Indian), who love any and all reasons for throwing a party filled with food.
Heather
March 23, 2010 at 4:32 amThat view is unbelievable, Jenna! Wow. So jealous. [;

Rachel @ Suburban Yogini
March 23, 2010 at 4:57 amYou do look beautiful in that last picture 🙂
Maya
March 23, 2010 at 5:01 amI think the only thing that could be better than Indian food by the coast is Indian food in India! Beautiful pictures.
Kristin (Cook, Bake and Nibble)
March 23, 2010 at 5:02 amAahhh now I’m craving Indian food! And what a beautiful spot! I think I’m going to start driving now, see you in about a week 😉

Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin
March 23, 2010 at 5:21 ammmm I love Indian food!
Helen
March 23, 2010 at 5:24 amThat Indian meal looks amazing. We had home-made curry on Sunday but nothing beats a real Indian meal! And by the beach as well – perfect!
gina (fitnessista)

March 23, 2010 at 6:13 amIndian food is good – spicy though – at least what I had one time 🙂
Like your braids.
Angharad (Eating for England)
March 23, 2010 at 6:22 amOhhh Indian food, how I love you! Baingan Bharta is absolutely amazing is it not? Don’t think I’ve ever eaten Indian food in a setting like that though – normally a little cave-like place in england with crazy carpet/wallpaper/curtains…there’s a charm to both I guess!
Jessie
March 23, 2010 at 6:27 amI love that you can sit outside to work. That is so nice!
Sophie @ yumventures
March 23, 2010 at 6:29 amI love me some Indian food 🙂
Paige (RAN)
March 23, 2010 at 6:31 amWow, what a view! And that baigan bharta looks amaziiiing 🙂
Glad you were able to get a good ride in!
Betsy
March 23, 2010 at 6:37 amHey Jenna, I was just wondering..have you ever done a post on the beauty products you use? You have such nice skin and I would love to know what you use to keep it that way. Do you usually wear make-up or no? Your pictures make it seem like you don’t wear any, except for mascara.
Annie@stronghealthyfit
March 23, 2010 at 6:40 amNaps are so great! I’m totally pro-nap 🙂
Jessica @ The Process of Healing
March 23, 2010 at 6:44 amI’ve never had Indian before but it sure looks good!
That picture of you is so gorgeous girl!!! Your dark hair really makes your eyes POP!
Lauren @ Eater not a runner

March 23, 2010 at 7:41 amYummmmm Yummmmm Again!!
I wish so much that there were a Trader Joe’s here in FL (or maybe there is but not in Orlando???)
I feel pensive so often. I usually take self portraits of myself in different moods or “frames of mind” I love to capture those moments in time. I just got a nice camera but I am still learning how to use it. Yours and Kath’s pics always look so beautiful. I fell like my food pics make all of my food look kind of gross! 🙂
Any suggestions? Did you take classes?
Brooke (Baking with Basil)
March 23, 2010 at 8:10 amWhat a cute little place!!! That picture of you is great!
Kathleen
March 23, 2010 at 8:24 amLove the pictures you’ve been posting lately! I love getting to see all your adventures and I feel like your personality and beauty (inside and out) both shine through in your writing but photos just add that little bit more that usually has me smiling ear to ear!
Haute Teapot
March 23, 2010 at 8:32 amAdorable. Looks lovely and your blue eyes pop with your brown hair, so pretty. And you just gave me a craving for Indian food!
Karla
March 23, 2010 at 8:35 amAhh haven’t had Indian food in so long! Now I’m cravin’!
kalli@fitandfortysomething
March 23, 2010 at 9:32 amoh how fun and how beautiful the scenery!
also, i notice i get so hungry bike riding compared to other activities……
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale
March 23, 2010 at 10:37 amIndian food is to die for. It’s one of the reasons I studied abroad in the UK! They have the best curry shops there.
We have great Indian food in Chicago though too. Devon Ave. is Little India, and it is the best!
Carolyn @ lovinlosing.com
March 23, 2010 at 10:39 amI haven’t yet had an Indian food experience I’ve particularly loved. 🙁 Someday.
Lauren
March 23, 2010 at 10:55 amI’ve never tried Indian food, but I think naan looks like just about the most delightful thing ever.
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion
March 23, 2010 at 12:08 pmI need Indian food again very soon. I just love it! LOL at the Indian Soup Operas. Were they in English?
eliza kate
March 23, 2010 at 12:12 pmJenna- I LOVE that charm necklace you are wearing in the last picture. Do you remember where you got it? So simple but, pretty. 🙂
Cole
March 23, 2010 at 12:41 pmOh yum. I’m definitely craving Indian now!
amanda
March 23, 2010 at 1:02 pmWhat a great day! I have also been enjoying our beautiful weather here as much as I can in DC. However, it has been raining off and on the last few days. 🙁
Laura Georgina
March 23, 2010 at 1:03 pmA lovely meal in a lovely setting for a lovely girl! I love seeing people taking advantage of their surroundings, exploring and living it up–it doesn’t get more “living it up” than Indian food by the coast, in my book 🙂
kate
March 23, 2010 at 1:37 pmI havent had Indian in such a long time! Definitely need to get on that!
Staceyhttp://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/
March 23, 2010 at 1:38 pmThat salad from Tj’s must be an new one, it sounds really good.
Leah
March 23, 2010 at 2:12 pmI love indian food! There are so many great places around here I dont know why I dont eat it more often.

March 23, 2010 at 7:30 pmI like that last picture of you. Very Jane Austin, you just need one of those dresses that looks like a fancy nightgown.
Now I want Indian food.
