Wow. I come asking your forgiveness because unintentionally I just broken food blogging rule number ONE. Get this: I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF MY LUNCH. I know, who am I?! I’ve only been taking pictures of every single meal for almost two years and today, randomly, I decide to just stuff my face and forget the camera??! To attempt to justify myself, for some reason I am not really feeling well right now…. progressively over the morning I have felt icky and I’m starting to freak out because I CANNOT get sick for Boston! To top it all off, my brain is total mush and I got lost going to the post office. Wow.
To try to redeem myself, I shall describe my lunch in acute detail. I made a sandwich on Ezekiel bread with roasted chicken breast, guacamole, shaved red onion and organic greens. I also had a plum on the side. It was delicious.
I have about a million things to do right now but I think I need to lay down for an hour before picking my mom up from the airport.
I DID, however, manage to take a picture of my chocolate bar 🙂

August 10, 2009 at 12:25 pmI love the photo of the chocolate bar – I’ve been looking all over for that type of lindt bar and cannot find it anywhere. I’m keeping my fingers crossed though!

August 10, 2009 at 12:31 pmEven though we can’t see it, and sandwich still sounds delish!

August 10, 2009 at 12:33 pmlol 🙂 when something has become a habit, sometimes you’re so used to not having to think about doing it, that you don’t pay attention and you end up not taking pictures of your food 😉
i always thought my english was okay but i’ve been finding myself laughing out loud over expressions as “shaved red onion”.
i just can’t imagine what the … it is 🙂
Gillette, the best an onion can get…? 🙂

August 10, 2009 at 12:36 pmYou are funny!
Try and take it easy these next few days and hopefully you wont get sick!
I tried that chocolate bar because of you — so good! Thankfully, the only place I have found it is the expensive grocery store — the one I need to avoid for multiple reasons 🙂

August 10, 2009 at 12:40 pmTake it easy girl! Hopefully some rest will help you feel back to 100%! 🙂

August 10, 2009 at 12:42 pmI did the exact same thing this morning with breakfast!! Every since you posted about them I look for those chocolate bars EVERYWHERE. I can’t seem to find one. It is killing me!

Jennie {in Wonderland}
August 10, 2009 at 12:47 pmYou have a lot going on — of course you’re feeling a bit loopy! My advice – lots of hot tea, nourishing food and rest, rest, rest!
I really wish I could try one of those chocolate bars. I wonder if they’re only out in the States…
Whitney
August 10, 2009 at 12:49 pmhaha, glad to know it happens to the best, cause I forgot my camera cord this morning. WTF?
Alanna
August 10, 2009 at 12:49 pmHey Jenna,
I’ve been reading your blog now for a couple months, just hiding in the shadows. It great! But I have to come out of the darkness for chocolate 🙂
The lindt sea salt bar is an addiction of mine, I can’t get enough of those things and have to restrain myself everytime I pass one, well… not everytime 🙂 Nice to know that someone else loves them like I do too!
Anyways, just thought I’d say Hi and tell you that I really enjoy your blog, and I hope you don’t get sick for Boston!
Megan
August 10, 2009 at 12:52 pmhaha, no worries…the chocolate bar looks wonderful! enjoy your day my dear and I hope you start feeling better!

Have a great afternoon 😉

August 10, 2009 at 12:55 pmI think you need a mini-vacation! Good luck with everything and have a relaxing afternoon!
Daria (Summer of the CSAs)
August 10, 2009 at 12:58 pmAw, we all have those days. Get some rest and some vitamins and I’m sure you’ll feel better!

August 10, 2009 at 12:58 pmpower naps do wonders 🙂 i hope you start to feel better!
i have been looking for that chocolate bar everywhere and can’t find it!
Maria
August 10, 2009 at 1:05 pmwe know how yummy your sandwiches look, so no worries 🙂 I hope you feel better!

August 10, 2009 at 1:08 pmCan someone/anyone please tell me where to find teh chocolate bar? I have been looking for it, but unable to find that piece of heaven. THANKS!!!
Jenna, don’t be hard on yourself, be good to yourself. You have alot going on and sometimes we just are not all there. Just let yourself be and take care of yourself. Sending you good Monday vibes!!!
Beth @ CrossBorderCravings
August 10, 2009 at 1:10 pmI have been searching for that sea salt bar – sounds so yummy!!
Tania
August 10, 2009 at 1:11 pmJenna: Get some rest and drink lots of water! Take it easy. And I agree with the person that mentioned a vacation. Even just a weekend away somewhere local, just to rest your head. We’d all understand if you took time off the blog! We’d cry, but we’d get over it knowing you’re doing something for YOU.
About the chocolate: for Canadian girls looking for it, Shoppers Drug Mart sells it. I have yet to try it because I am a milk chocolate girl who just cannot get used to dark chocolate.
Sue
August 10, 2009 at 1:14 pmWe all have our off days! I guess I’m not the only one who is wondering where the heck you got that chocolate bar. I hope you mention where you got it in your next awesome post! 🙂 Feel better.
jenna
August 10, 2009 at 1:15 pmY’all—I get that chocolate bar from Borders bookstore but the Lindt chocolate store has it as well. I LOVE it!!!!
Alanna
August 10, 2009 at 1:14 pmAlso for the Canadian girls, try wal-mart! 🙂
alex at happygoluckyalex.wordpress.com
August 10, 2009 at 1:17 pmoh jenna, you are only human!!!! you must have been so hungry, you wolfed it down!
i got that chocolate after i saw it in your blog a few weeks ago and l.o.v.e.d it! Canadian girls- found it at Loblaws, one of the ginormous ones.

August 10, 2009 at 1:18 pmI really wish I could find those chocolate bars around here….You keep teasing me with them and I can’t get them!!!!
Jessica
August 10, 2009 at 1:19 pmwe’ll forgive you , though the sammich sounds awesome minus the onions 🙂 lol!

August 10, 2009 at 1:23 pmHAHA! Isn’t that weird!? I’ve made meals before for the sole sake of showing them to the blogworld…only to stuff my face before taking the photo;)
Michelle
August 10, 2009 at 1:30 pmAw, it’s okay, it happens! That sandwich sounds yummy! I just wanted to point out that I went to Trader Joe’s this weekend, and got dark chocolate covered almonds, and the outside was coated in sea salt and sugar! The sea salt adds this weird punch to the chocolate…it’s amazing! I definitely thought of your “with a touch of sea salt” bars while eating some! 🙂
Nicole
August 10, 2009 at 1:32 pmChocolate with sea salt = amazing. That picture makes up for you forgetting to take a picture of your sandwich, so no worries!

August 10, 2009 at 1:42 pmHaha, don’t beat yourself up, it happens! That chocolate bar looks delicious!
You have a lot on your plate so I think it’s normal for your brain to be somewhat mush 🙂
Gloria
August 10, 2009 at 1:51 pmIt’s taking all of my self-restraint for me to not leave work right now and hit Borders for that chocolate!
Sana
August 10, 2009 at 1:52 pmlol! your lunch looked amazing, even from your description!
Andee (Runtolive)
August 10, 2009 at 1:55 pmYour lunch sounds delicious! I need to go to Costco for their rotisserie chicken. They also sell those chocolate bars at Bristol Farms, if anyone is from So Cal.
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen)
August 10, 2009 at 1:55 pmBorders has a surprisingly great chocolate selection – I’ve definitely seen that sea salt variety near the check-out 🙂 Books + chocolate = one stop shopping!
Laura W
August 10, 2009 at 2:01 pmJenna, thanks to you, I love that chocolate! The Borders in my area sells mainly Ghirardelli (lol- I checked after you said that’s where you got it), so I ended up just walking over to the Lindt store for it. Oh, it was amazing!
Eve
August 10, 2009 at 2:01 pmDon’t worry about forgetting to take a picture! I think we can all imagine it pretty well. I hope you feel better, sometimes it’s important to take the time and rest even when you feel like you have a ton to do, you will likely be more productive after!
Taylor
August 10, 2009 at 2:02 pmJenna, I hope you feel better for Boston! I am envious, you are heading to one of my favorite cities. Get as much rest as you can and cuddle with those cute bed bunnies. 🙂
Lizzy
August 10, 2009 at 2:02 pmyummy chocolate! i need to get myself some 🙂
kay (eating machine)
August 10, 2009 at 2:12 pmYou got the most important part though! That chocolate looks yummy-I love what a touch of sea salt can do for something sweet.
Taylor
August 10, 2009 at 2:13 pmhaha I have too many days like yours today! Maybe your thinking of too many things you have to get done. Last Sunday I wore one earring to church! I’m very scatterbrained sometimes!

August 10, 2009 at 2:18 pmI agree it sounds like you need some rest!! Please try to get some before your trip 🙂
Stacey
August 10, 2009 at 2:25 pmThe Intense Orange and Chili Lindt bars are also fantastic!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope
August 10, 2009 at 2:28 pmHaha, I think we all get forgetful every once in a while. I can’t blame you with everything you have going on! Just try to stay positive and hope your day goes a lot better. 🙂

August 10, 2009 at 3:32 pmI’ve been a forgetful myself lately, so I can relate. Your sandwich sounds good, even if we can’t see it!

August 10, 2009 at 3:52 pmTry and get some rest, and I hope you feel better soon!

August 10, 2009 at 3:58 pmlol, i think we can make it without one food pic
Suzanne de Cornelia
August 10, 2009 at 4:21 pmSheesh, did you go to Catholic Girl’s School, too, where your own personal Guilt-Fairy gets permanently attached to one shoulder?! Cut yourself a break already!! Love the choc bar photo….I’d get one…but then that would spark a totally Ninja smackdown with my Guilt-Fairy, too.
Emily (A Nutritionist Eats)
August 10, 2009 at 4:47 pmI hope you get some much deserved rest and time for yourself! I have been searching for that chocolate everywhere, where can I get it???
Kristen
August 10, 2009 at 4:52 pmI tried that chocolate after seeing it here on your blog a couple of months ago (or was it just a month ago? who knows)…and I LOVE it. Absolutely LOVE it. When I saw it I pretty much knew I’d like it, but when I tasted it it was pure heaven. I feel like I have to thank you for introducing me to my new favourite chocolate. So thank you!!!
Paige
August 10, 2009 at 5:24 pmhehe you’re so funny 🙂 The lunch sounds good though! And that chocolate looks good too! Hope you feel better.
K
August 10, 2009 at 5:33 pmWe forgive you!! You’ve got a lot on your plate lately so take it easy 🙂
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale
August 10, 2009 at 5:40 pmDon’t worry! You’ve had a lot going on lately – it’s only natural that you’re feeling flustered.
As for the chocolate, I employ the same habit as you every day. I little piece right after lunch is all I need… the sweet bitterness is a perfect way to end the meal, and you only need a touch to feel satisfied.
Rebecca
August 10, 2009 at 8:14 pmIt’s ok! The sandwich still SOUNDS yummy and I bet it looked amazing!
Madelin @ What is for breakfast?
August 11, 2009 at 7:45 amWe asked a Lindt rep the other day and we can’t get Fleur de Sel in Australia 🙁 boo hoo
