A New Car!

Where have I been?!

Well, my laptop completely died on me last week. I lost everything (except my most recent backup which was apparently 90 days ago-whoops), BUT Apple was able to repair it at no cost to me and get it back to my apartment on Saturday morning. I was very impressed by their customer service and couldn’t believe they paid to overnight my laptop from Texas for Saturday delivery in Florida. Amazing. If you are ever wondering if AppleCare is worth the money, YES, it is.

While I DID have my old laptop available to me, blogging is not a fun experience on it because it doesn’t have a card reader and Ecto (desktop publisher for Mac) is outdated. Plus it has about 3 GB of memory left on it and I hardly wanted to bog it down with the hundreds of pictures I take on a regular basis.

Oh and did I mention that also had 8 assignments due for my 3 grad school classes on Sunday? Yeah, there was that too.

Oh and Evan drove me to Jacksonville (6 hours round trip) to pick up my new (used) car on Saturday…I LOVE it!

Yes, it’s an SUV. No, it doesn’t get the best gas mileage. If you’ve ever been in an accident in a small car, you understand. It’s terrifying and I never wanted to experience that again. Problem solved!

Soooooo….I’ve been busy. Who isn’t these days? But, I have been enjoying some great food, so let’s get to that photo tour, shall we?

Cheesy Nacho Kale Chips and Raw Onion Bread sandwiches.

Raw pancakes from Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen .

Finally figured out (after 3 failed attempts) how to use my spiralizer I got for my graduation present from Evan’s parents. I wasn’t putting the blade in far enough in my Benriner Turning Slicer .

Raw pesto with slightly dehyrdated grape tomatoes and a side of raw onion bread (I made it up but it wasn’t the best, so I won’t post a recipe).

Lots of green smoothies:

And to finish it off, a wonderful blogger meet-up with Ashley, Megan, Katy, Caitlin and Meghann on a Tuesday afternoon! A few of us went to yoga before lunch and were a very relaxed for our afternoon date!

My food: A Milton Special salad (was supposed to be half but they messed up and gave me a whole…I wasn’t complaining!).

And a half pesto panini:

Overall, it’s been a great week? How about you?

I leave you with a funny photo of Harvey in the pantry (his favorite spot because he never gets to go in there).
