Breakfast/ Dinner

Rebel

The fair was fun last night. I almost ran off with this baby!

Five months old and all he wanted to do was dance! I held him for about an hour while we listened to music and he couldn’t stop moving his little legs to the beat. I tried to sneak off with him but Melody (his mama) grabbed him just in time.
Other fun fair stories to share: it was randomly about forty degrees outside and I drank a very large hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was delicious. I also had a bite of Ashley’s funnel cake. When did fair food become so expensive? Six dollar funnel cakes? Seven dollar garlic fries?? What is the world coming to???? I wasn’t that hungry though because before I left I ate a big salad with Athenos feta (for the last time! Summer salad month has officially ended!), hard boiled egg, carrot and a piece of toast with almond butter and jam.

This morning I had a small bowl of muesli (when will it end??!)

Ran a couple miles in the COLD…and then ate a ab&j waffle with a Siggi’s

It’s blazing hot pretty much everywhere else in the country right now. Why must California be such a rebel?

    I just bought a big cup of fresh cut fries at a local fair for $1-maybe its just CA?

    Its finally down to 78 degrees today-I’m so happy since I have a wedding today-sweaty with big frizzy hair is not the look I’m going for!

    i was able to enjoy some cool weather today… for about 1/2 of my run! it was 66 when i woke up @ 6:15 and after i had run 4 miles it was much hotter. but i am grateful for the brief break in tempertaures! it’s normally been about 72-77 in the mornings for my run.

    and yes, fair food is expensive. as is almost all food out. ridiculous for some of those greasy, cheap things… but some of them taste soooo good! 🙂

    It is randomly cool here too. I really want hot coffee to help warm me up.

    Little dancing babies are so cute. I’m sure they are fun while they dance but not as much when they start screaming.

    Down in So Cal for our 10 day forcast… 74* is a hot day 😀 Can’t complain! The weather sure has been weird… there was about 5 days when it was *humid* (for here) and upper 80’s, but since then… it’s like I live at the beach, but I’m 6 miles away! Wonder if we’ll have to use the AC at all this summer ?!

    That baby is absolutely adorable. I rarely admit it to myself, but at 27, the baby fever is in full swing. Trying to hammer down those hormones until at least 3 more years!

    Seriously CA, what is up? It was 56 degrees out this morning in Bay Area!

    A huge hot chocolate with whip is sounding pretty darn tasty right now. Might have to make one at work later. I love working in a cafe!

    That cow picture is classic. Love it. 😀

    I’m kind of jealous of your cold weather, but it is kind of strange to have 40 degree temperatures in the middle of *summer.* I’ll bet your hot chocolate at the fair tasted ten times better then normal, just because. 😀

    I hear you on the cold CA weather. I just wish it was around 70 degrees in the evenings….wouldn’t that be great! I feel the first inkling (sp?) of fall and I love it but I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to summer just yet.

    Love the pic of the cow! I heard nor cal is pretty cool in the summer. I think its kinda funny that LA has been colder than the east and midwest where my family lives. One would think it would be crazy hot in the summer, but not this year!

    I think why the coast has been unusually foggy this summer is that the US has experienced the hottest July in history–and the hot valleys pull in the fog–so what might lay offshore till early evening comes in. I agree 🙁

    Of course, Mark Twain rightly said the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

    BTW speaking of babies 😉 The Greeks brought bouillabaisse to southern France in 600BC stating that the recipe came straight from Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. And it’s remained the signature coastal Provence dish since then. Here’s an authentic Provencale recipe: http://tinyurl.com/oe4ezq

    Cioppino (can’t figure out what really distinguishes them) originated in San Francisco from Italian immigrant fishermen–and is still considered SF’s signature dish. One of these days I’ll load myself up with wine and baguettes and make a side-to-side comparison. 🙂

    Sweet image. A couple of my friends have produced some amazingly adorable offspring, and kidnapping has often crossed my mind..
    Fair food has definitely gone up, and I feel a little old when I start railing about how cheap stuff used to be…back when I would walk up hill both ways in the snow, sans shoes, just to get a piece of funnel cake.
    NorCal weather is manic – I loved the unpredictability of it when I lived in the Bay Area.

    I have to admit, I’m pretty happy with the “rebel” temperatures we’re having here in California lately! I like my morning runs nice and chilly! 🙂

    Drives me nuts how to always include the whole state of California in whatever you say about it. It is a HUGE state and the weather is different all over! Why do you live there if you never have anything good to say about it?
