a delightful day off!

Ah another year has come and brought midterms, and just like that they are over. It's strange we spend 2 weeks reviewing for only 2 days of testing. 

Actually there are 3 days of testing. 2 whole days and 1 half of a day for language exams. luckily for me i quit french this year so instead my friends and i decided to celebrate by going out to breakfast!

we went to an old favorite Kristen's in Braintree square. i have always loved this place. My mom used to take me every now and again if it was a slow day during the summertime. they have an extensive breakfast menu, with the specials written on the chalk board wall. 

We walked in and got a table in the back, it was very quite back there, perfect for the three of us. Our waitress was almost immediately there to welcome us and offer coffee, she was so sweet, and had a southern accent! which is something hard to come by in the north east. 

as we sat and got cozy we looked over the menu, which all looked delicious, 

Leanne decided on getting the strawberry pancakes,which funny story, while they were being made our waitress came back from he kitchen flustered, to tell Leanne that the cook had read the order wrong. He had read the abbreviation for 'whipped cream'  as 'white chocolate" and ended up sprinkling white chocolate chips into the batter, and was worried Leanne would be upset by this. we were dumbfounded, UPSET BY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND STRAWBERRIES?! AS IF! she was so stoked.

i myself ordered egg whites, a fruit cup of citrus fruit, and a whole wheat bagel not toasted. i really do love bagels, its as if i am eating a loaf of bread!

Ian ordered eggs Benedict ( i think) it had hollaindaise sauce. that's really all i remember from his order...sorry Ian!

our order was out on the table in 15 minutes flat! i was very impressed by how quick and efficient they were in getting our food out. 

the price was extremely reasonable between the three of us. I love this place, it makes me feel welcome and cozy. i believe its praises are no where near sung enough!

we're back to school tomorrow for a half of a day, so it really feels as though this week never happened!

here are some other pictures from our adventure! such as the remains of the pancake massacre of 2012

isn't she adorable?

when you go out to breakfast, where do you like to go?

I'd love to know!

so i decided to try my hand at lemon pepper tofu

and i failed, miserably.

but i still ate it anyway since i was starving,
the problem was the recipe called for 1 Ib of tofu and i only used 2 slices, and so i tried to adjust the recipe to a smaller and halfway through i forgot, and i put in a whole tablespoon of pepper...
ick.



today was a half day, so all my friends and i went to panera bread where i got a Thai chopped salad with no chicken (no picture) it was okay, im not one for spiciness. the wantons were delicious though.
till later!

Boston sunday brunch

wow, what a looooong day.
literally. i woke up at 12 am and I've been awake since! its about 7:24 pm. i feel awful, I've been taking 5 minute snoozes since i woke up.

so, this morning since i was up AT 5 AM i decided to make my breakfast

it was extremely tasty just exscuse the bad lighting, it was still dark out.
my oatmeal consisted of
steal cut oats
almond milk
blueberrries
strawberries
equal
bananas
cinnamon
and vanilla extract

ireally like this oatmeal, i feel like steel cut fills me up way more than instant oats, which we are now FILTHY with in my home. they were on sale so we now about about 8 different boxes of oatmeal :)

sunday was such a day of procrastination for me. i shouldve worked on my homework more consistently, i just dont get what im doing with my physics work :/

on to my second half of the day starting with my beautiful lunch!

the bits of white are egg whites!

then i went into Boston to visit my friend Margaret who has just started college , and we HAD to get something to eat seeing as how we were in Harvard square.

we decided on veggie planet

Margaret and Catherine both got the open face grilled cheese pizza sandwich. i loved their ordering style at the restaurant, what they do is they have certain dishes of vegetables and you have your choice of putting it into an omelet, pizza dough, brown rice, or coconut rice! and they are incredibly vegan friendly and organic!

well, that's all for tonight, i need to do my work or I'm so dead, wish me luck!
