Ben said we had a gourmet day today! It started out normal with a BIG yogurt bowl. I always am hungry on the day after a long run so I made sure to pile this with fruit, yogurt, a lot of cereal and PB.
I also “cleaned” this almond butter jar with a spoon. I was going to put the yogurt bowl in this, but I put it in the micro for a second and it sparked, which scared me. But I still ate the AB 🙂
Bad News though, TJ’s was out of my precious AB yesterday. I almost caused a scene and was about to either scream or cry when I confirmed it with an employee. I decided I wanted to be welcome in TJ’s another day so I held it in.
Then, I got a flash of LOST at church. They showed a video where Desmond was Jesus. I wanted to ask the person by me if they realized this too, so I did. Luckily, that person was Ben 🙂
After church we packed a lunch and had a picnic at a local park. 
I packed a salad in my hummus container. I use hummus containers like other peeps use almost empty nut butter jars. It was filled with veggies, hummus and beans – lots of beans. 
This park is HUGE and since Ben hadn’t been there before I conned him into walking around the entire lake. I love taking a long walk after eating. 
I love the little geese babies every where. 
After we walked off lunch we were ready for round two!
Ben has been wanting to try the Iron Bridge Wine Co. for a while. A co-worker told him great things about it and we’ve passed by a few times, but it’s never worked out. Well, today it seemed like the perfect afternoon snack!
Ben got a flight that I helped him with… I actually really liked two out of three of these. Normally I order my own wine and then pawn it off on him if I don’t like it. Today was the opposite 🙂
We ordered the Eggs Chesapeake because I’ve never had Eggs Benedict and this one also had crab (my new obsession). Since this place is fancy the portions were perfectly sized and it was just enough to have a few bites for a taste.
I swear Ben suggested dessert and decided on the Brownie Sundae! I know he did it because that’s what I love, but I wanted him to order what he wanted so he would eat more of it! Luckily, he did.
Hot brownies with vanilla gelato, is there anything better?
No. The answer is no. 
Then, we went to Ellicott City to walk around and enjoy the old timey area 🙂
A stop at the Little French Market was necessary for a refreshment…
This place is adorable. And look at that guy sitting outside waiting for me…
Fun fact: Ben can only do a French accent. One time I asked him to do an Australian accent and all he did was say, “Huh huh huh, do you want to see my koala? My back yard has a kangaroo…” In a French accent. I told him listing Australian animals in a French accent doesn’t work. 
I got a decaf misto…
…and a granola cookie! See, I told you it was a day of good eats! This cookie could have been better. I am going to recreate it (better) soon 🙂
YUM! Today was a great day of food and fun with my guy. We just finished dinner and now I’m going to watch crappy TV and recharge until Monday morning.
Oh, I almost forgot! Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers out there 🙂
And a special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom. I love you!
If you don’t mind me asking I just wanted to get the scoop on what is the difference between blogenenigne and wordpress blogs? Is it easier to use or more efficient? I amseeing a lot of blogs powered by this software popping up lately and wondering if it is better or not? Thanks…
Great publish! I’ll subscribe right now wth my feedreader software!
Hi, i just thought i’d post in addition let you know your blogs layout constantly actually messed up on genuine K-Melon browser. Anyhow preserve up precise really work.
Don’t you love a church that uses pop culture references to explain the sermon? I sure do! 🙂
If you ever get a chance to try Eggs Benedict with smoke salmon and cream cheese do not, I repeat, do not pass it up. It is my favorite version of Eggs Benedict!
for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
I went to the TJs in Towson yesterday and they were out of almond butter with flax too! I asked if there was some sort of shortage with the company but they said no….so weird!
The theme of your blog is very beautiful and the article is written very well, I will continue to focus on your article.
Was that Centennial Park? I love it there. I ran around the park the other day and was happy to see the water fountains and bathrooms were open!
My mom loves the Iron Bridge but I haven’t been for a meal yet, I should!
Thank you. This has been one of the most well written blogs I have ever read. The topic is very interesting and the content is well written. I appreciate your blog writing skill.
Looks like a wonderful day! Especially the gelato. Love your blog!
Thanks Courtney 🙂
What a fun day!!!
Hot brownies are amazing…yum!
I love Ben’s take on the Australian accent and, yes, it is true…..we all have kangaroos in our yards! Ha ha ha!!! When I was over in the States, I found it weird how people did not know what I was saying and this was especially hard in food places. I remember being in a diner of some sort and the waiter said “White or Wheat?” about my bread and I said “Wheat” but white came. I think Australians totally understand the American accent because of TV and there are not many Australian accents on TV over there I guess!
You were such a gorgeous baby by the way! Too cute!
Carla, I love that story about the bread. If I ever get to Australia I’m sure they will not be able to understand me either 🙂
One of my fave shows, LOST, has a few people with Australian accents and I love it.
ah, what a great day! that dessert at the restaurant looks great!
hahaha I love that Ben can only do a French accent – my husband can only do Scottish. He tries to do, like, German accents or whatever, but it always comes out Scottish!
Excellent site
You look just like you did when you were a baby. That wine looks pretty good right about now. I think I need to go have a glass.
Sounds like it was a great day!
How’d you end up with red hair??
Umm, cutest baby ever!!! And your mom is gorg!
Oh. My God. You could not be a cuter baby. You look the exact same! Older of course, but still the same! Adorbs.
Using an almost-empty hummus container for veggies is a revolutionary idea–I’m totally stealing that!
Cute little geese babies! 😀
Glad you had a nice walk. It looks beautiful.
