Happy Friday! How was your week?
Yesterday I took a long walk with SR. She’s been MIA inoculating migrant birds in Spain so it was nice to finally catch up.
Now I’m cleaning my house and getting ready for the weekend!! Boom.
Friday Favorites – for May 2nd
1. Andrew Zimmerman. I can’t decide if I want to be him or his best friend, but I want to travel the world eating all the foods with him. Yesterday he was eating poutine and I’ve never had it. I need to though. Soon.
2. Smoothies. It’s hot and I can’t get enough smoothie action!
3. Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock – it dries super quick so I don’t get it in my eyes when I start sweating 3 seconds later.
4. Ridiculously large visors. I’m going to turn into one big freckle if I don’t get a bigger visor for walks.
5. Pizza.
6. Racer back bras. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before – but I wear racer backs about 92% of the time. Love them. Love that I don’t have to mess with straps.
7. Sunflower seeds. I put that ish on everything.

Question: What is your favorite thing this week?
Last week I was loving graduation and warm weather!
Poutine is awesome. It’s like disco fries but 1000x more amazing. Find them ASAP!
Ya, I’m totally with you on the straps thing, hate them!
You haven’t tried poutine? For Real? TRY IT! I would say it’ll change your life but you’ll either love it or hate it. I’ve only met one person who didn’t much care for it tho 🙂
I am Canadian 🙂
I love sunflower seeds on my salad! I’m totally addicted to goat cheese, so I put that, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds on every salad. SO GOOD.
This week I am loving the warm weather!
Fave thing this week is exploring Boston, my future city (moving up in August)!
one of my newest food groups is salted in the shell peanuts..so should not be a food group, but I am in love..please send help
I think you mean Andrew Zimmern:) And, yes, he is the greatest.
My favorite thing this week is that it’s over. There was a lot of emotionally stressful stuff going on personally and at work this week, so I’m super glad it’s over. Plus I will be up bright and early to meet up with some people for a run. Really looking forward to it!
It genuinely upsets me that you have never had poutine. You need to come to Canada!!
Say hi to SR for all of us former blog readers, I really miss her 🙁
I’ll tell her 🙂
I feel the complete opposite way about racerback bras, I can’t find one that doesn’t chafe my left collarbone. Yet I keep buying them in the hopes that, one day, I will find one.
Favorite thing this week so far has been the Flying Dog Mint Chocolate Stout I had at lunch today. Awwww yeah.
My favorite thing this week….lunch at Spain Plus in St. Pete. It’s authentic spanish food and it’s insane.
YOU’VE NEVER HAD POUTINE?!?!?! Break my little, Canadian, heart.
I know 🙁
My favorite thing was these homemade “raspberry explosion” cookies I bought at the farmer’s market this morning….but after eating 3 of them I got sick 🙁 They’re really rich.
Think dark chocolate, heavy cream, almond paste, eggs, sugar and flour.
So I’ll go with my new nike miler running t-shirt that’s so soft and comfy I bought a second one so i can wear one as non-running attire lol!
Happy Friday!
That’s because fruit and chocolate don’t go together. It’s science.
My favorite thing this week is watermelon! I have buying the little containers of cut-up watermelon at the store for $1 and then I eat the whole thing 🙂
One dollar?! I need to go there.
We had pizza for lunch at my work yesterday. Free pizza is the best!
Yum pizza is deadly! Lol I can never just have one small piece 🙂
make your own poutine! http://tinyurl.com/oj5v5om
I want ‘real’ french fries with it though! I should buy those somewhere and add to it!
Haven’t tried it yet, but Trader Joe’s sells poutine kits in their freezer section.
Ive been on a real sushi kick this week and its the best.
I’m seriously eating Costco sushi right now. Does that count?
Andrew Zimmerman is awesome and funny. He eats a little crazier than I do!!
I tried Trader Joe’s simmer curry last night and it was delicious! Super easy to add to chicken and makes a great meal. Plus the ingredient list is all real foods! 🙂
I love, love, love Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock> I can not survive summer heat without it!
I got to meet and attend a Q&A session with Ryan Hall. I think that definitely takes the cake for favorite thing this week. But I also won first place in my age division at a local 5K. Yeah, I can’t complain about the week I had at all! 🙂
…what is poutine?
That is awesome!! Poutine is this epic dish of french fries, cheese curds and gravy.
You lost me at “cheese curds”. 🙁
But I was in with the french fries!
I love that bra and how wonderful to not have to see the straps in halter tanks – ugh, yes! My favorite thing this week is the new Ultra Upper Body Circuit I created for myself. I’m still sore – just love it. TGIF!
This has nothing to do with this post…..but…..
I was at Target in Huntington Beach yesterday and saw on one of the end caps in the cookie section….wait for it….WATERMELON OREOS. Have you ever heard of such a thing?!? They are like the golden Oreos but with watermelon cream in the middle. Sounds kind of gross to me, but as a long time reader I thought I had a duty to let you know so you can check it out.
Yeah! A lot of people have tagged me in pictures of them – ha! I’ve spotted them too, but I’m afraid to buy them 🙂
That sunblock really is great and works well for my kids faces too. My favorite thing this week is celebrating my little guy’s 3rd birthday 🙂
Have you tried TJ’s chocolate covered sunflower seeds? They are awesome! I made muffins with them a few weeks ago. Something I’m loving now is Sparkling Ice water.
I haven’t tried TJ’s version, but a friend bought me some that were colorful before. They were called ‘flamingo poop’!
Ok, as a Canadian, I need to ensure you have proper poutine for your first time. Make sure it has real cheese curds and proper poutine gravy! Though really, the cheese curds are the most important part
I’ve actually never had a cheese curd either – I’m excited to try it!
You should come to Montréal, Canada for the best poutine! Maybe you’ll be interested to run Rock’n’Roll marathon on September 28th 🙂
That is tempting 🙂
I need a good sunblock! I’m a sweat machine and pasty so not the best combo for summer workouts 🙂
Me too, total sweat machine.
I always forget about sunflower seeds. Need to get some soon! 🙂
I have been seriously putting them on salads, yogurt and straight in my mouth!
You’ve never had poutine? I do to understand that sentence. How can that be possible? (I’m Canadian, which may explain my disbelief.) Get some poutine in your belly ASAP. Then come back and thank all of Canada. 😉
Ughhhhhh, *don’t*
Can I come visit you and try it?!
Poutine is great! When I used to go to school in Detroit, we would drive across to border into Canada to just get some poutine for lunch!
I need to try it!
I’m having pasta for dinner tonight! And probably ice cream 🙂
Enjoy your weekend!
You too! Have a good weekend 🙂
Travel size products! Try out fun new items without spending the big bucks!
Mmmmm pizza!!!! I love that sunscreen too!
Now I think I need pizza for dinner 🙂
