No Greek Yogurt Breakfast today for me. Two Pumpkin Raisinet Cookies were my grab and go choice. Since they were very soft and cake-like, almost like a muffin top, and filled with pumpkin, raisins (chocolate coated) and walnuts, they must be healthy. Well....maybe not, but they were tasty. The only thing that would have made them better was a cup of Kenda's Pumpkin Spice Coffee to wash them down. I need to make another appointment with that cup of coffee.
This morning I traveled to Gainesville for a late morning meeting with Margaret and Blake to discuss the production of an art book. Every so often, a very special project comes along. Margaret's book is one of those projects. Happy dance.
I cannot go to Gainesville around lunch time without visiting my college haunt - Leonardo's by the slice. Today's special was Spinach Artichoke thin crust. As I walked in the door, a whole fresh pizza was placed on the rack. Mmmmmmmm, I had to try it! It was definitely extra pound worthy - a white pizza topped with chunks of artichoke, spinach and just the right amount of cheese.
Tonight Mike and I met at Cheesecake Factory for an appetizer and drink dinner in the bar. This is one of our favorite ways to dine. We order a beer or cocktail and 2-3 items from their small plate menu. Normally it is a great way to experience a nice evening out without a lot of expense, however, Cheesecake Factory went up on their cocktail and beer prices. Our wallet really felt the pinch when the bill was presented. The small plate menu has expanded to include some interesting choices. Tonight I tried the Crispy Stuffed Olives - large green olives stuffed with sausage and cheese, coated in a light breading, fried until crispy and served with a Red Pepper Aioli. It sounds weird, but tasted awesome. Mike ordered Mini Corn Dogs and Stuffed Garlic Rolls. Everything was delicious and just the right portion size. The items range from $3.95 - $5.95. Next time we will order the small plates with water instead of cocktails.
Many hugs,
Kathy
