This past weekend I marked the 10th anniversary of my becoming a vegetarian by having a vegetarian potluck picnic out in a plaza by our apartment. Here are the stars of the show:
Fruit salad (kiwis, pineapple, grapes, and nectarines).
Caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze).
Guacamole.
Banana bread.
Zucchini cakes.
Key lime cookies.
Pasta salad number 1.
Quinoa salad with tomatoes.
French bread and cheese.
Bruschetta ingredients.
Pasta salad number 2.
Peanut butter chocolate ice cream.
It was great to have my friends celebrate with me and eat so much delicious food. It made me want to have a veg-iversary every year!
Half marathon training is going well. Yesterday my best friend and I ran 11.5 miles, which was a distance record for both of us. We won't run that much again until the actual half marathon, which is in less than 2 weeks! I got a blister on my toe, but other than that the run was really successful. We ran along the Emerald Necklace, which is a string of pretty green areas with nice trails to run on. We ran all the way from the beginning to Jamaica Pond and back. The weather was perfect for running, and we were really proud of ourselves. I'm excited for the half marathon!
Classes have started again, and so far, mostly so good. I'm really excited about a couple of them, and I think I'm going to learn a lot of new things. This is the first time I've ever taken any sort of economics, and the class I'm taking is not introductory level. It should be a good challenge!
I'm going to go do laundry now. I really need to get more running shorts. Actually, I guess sooner than I'd like it will be pants season :(
what fantastic looking food! after a meal like that, I can't imagine anyone wanting to eat meat again :)
