Project 365: Day 102

Worked out this morning before meeting D-Dubs for breakfast at Dolores Park Cafe. I had to give him Kry’s camera before he flies out for Germany. It was nice catching up with him and I’m super excited to meet then in Dublin in 1.5 weeks. Had to go into work again for a quick assignment. Now, I’ve just been working on this blog, doing laundry, and watching tv. This weekend as flown by! Now I have to pack for my trip to Las Vegas tomorrow afternoon. Ugh, I’m SO tired of traveling!

I’m not sure where they get their pastries, but this apple danish was calling to me. It was pretty good! And I love the friendly guys at Upper Terrace Market. It’s such a cute, neighborhood corner store.

Project 365: Day 101

Had an early morning workout today and by the time I was done, I was starving! I had nothing to do until 2 pm so I decided to stop by The Little Chihuahua on the way home and have a relaxing Saturday brunch. Between my entree, the free chips and salsa, and a large margarita, I was stuffed! Omg, why do I always overeat! I’ve got to head into work for a quick job later, but afterward I’m just going to sit on the couch and do nothing but catch up on DVR. Sounds perfect!

I couldn’t find a good description of “campechano” online, but I guess the word describes things from the Mexican state of Campeche. I’ve also read other accounts of campechano tacos having a mixture of carne asada and chorizo so at least this preparation is consistent with that theme. This was pretty good. I did notice that when they grilled this to order, they used a generous amount of oil so I’m sure that’s partly why it tasted so good. The steak could have been a little more tender, but it was definitely flavorful. I ordered this because I thought it would be healthier than some of the other options, but I didn’t know they’d add that much chorizo and use that much oil. Oops!

Project 365: Day 100

Wow, it’s the 100th day since I’ve started these Project 365 entries. I’m glad that I’ve stuck with it. It was great to be back at the office, but I’m looking forward to a weekend filled with absolutely nothing. Silverfox and I are gonna grab a quick dinner at Kasa Indian Eatery before having a Friday cocktail. We’re gonna have an early night since he flies out to Seattle tomorrow morning. I’m also still really tired and need to catch up on sleep.

The office got this light and delicious birthday cake for me. I was genuinely surprised when they presented it. I was SO preoccupied thinking about the upcoming weekend that it didn’t even cross my mind that my office would get a cake to jump start the celebration. Thanks guys!
