Travel Part Two

You would think we would have learned from our first excursion, but four stores, three hours, and $300+ later, we have what we need for the next week/six weeks. We didn't get a vegetable peeler in this kitchen, although there's a passable set of steak knives. 

We DO have a grill--propane, too! so we were able to grill chicken and sweet potatoes. It's just like being at home! Steve made cereal and acorn squash "oatmeal." (It's basically cooked squash - in the microwave - heated on the stove with coconut milk, cinnamon, coconut flakes, and maybe some honey. He says it tastes like oatmeal, but it looks like squash to me!)

Tonight I'm making chicken legs (half with cinnamon and sage and half with Greek seasoning), zucchini with olive oil and Greek seasoning, carrot-raisin salad, and leftover sweet potatoes. 

I'm pretending it's a fun challenge to cook in a different kitchen, when it's kind of just a pain. I have the PERFECT knife....at home. And the right sized bowl....at home. And enough Tupperware...you get the idea. Still, it's cheaper and healthier than eating out every night! 

I ran 8 miles today (wasn't sure about the route, and didn't want to keep going to make 10 when I wasn't sure where to turn around, and oh look, there's our hotel!). I'm going to try 10 on Wednesday and then I'm going to Sherman's deli and bakery and rewarding myself with something from the case there. It doesn't matter what. It ALL looked delicious.

Also, I'm sooooo bummed that Selfie was cancelled. Let's all take a moment of silence. BUT I didn't realize there were additional episodes on Hulu (yes, I live under a rock). I watched the first one today and squealed with delight. Why doesn't Hollywood ask MY opinion of what should be on?????

Another side note: we saw a Chihuahua wearing sunglasses today. No, I didn't get a picture. Yes, it was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
