A Taste of Summer.

Note: I know I've written both yesterday and today, but methinks I'll be posting every other weekday as a general rule unless circumstances prove favorable.

Urgh. School is no fun at all, mis amigas.

So...I will move on to more funski topics!
Like climate conditions!

Today's weather = schizophrenic.


How so, you ask?

Welp, when I left home this morning, the experience went something like this:

Morgan: Oky, Mum, I be off now! Love y-SWEET JESUS. *hop back inside*

Mum: Cold, innit?

Morgan: *glower*

Long story short: froze my poor liddle hiney off for the first half of the day.
Shuah, the sun was a'shinin' happily, but them dern Alaskans sent their cold front our way.
Wind.
Like.
ICE.
*grumble*

PLUS, my human space heater (Kevin) wasn't around to keep me toasty.
*doublegrumble*

Unfortunately, however, things really began to heat up around noontime.
"Unfortunate", because:

I now look like a tahmayter.
Owie.

I'll just cut to the chase and give ya the moral of the story now: One must never lie down on soft grass in warm sun on < 5 hrs. sleep.

..whilst dozing, said sun burnt Morgy a little crispy.
And Morgan is supposed to be cooked rare, NOT well-done.

Ah well. FIRST SUNBURN OF THE SEASON.
And y'know what that means?

SUMMAH IS COMINGGG.

...in three months.
*facedesk*
Ow.
Moving on.

Foodie today involved all sorts of awesome. I show you now. Brekkie:

Strawberry Activia with (SHOCKER) moah strawberries, PB puffins, and (WHUT) moah PB.
Plus tea, hangin' out in tha back.

May I mention that this is the first time in evar that I eated PB with cereal?
Uhm.
Where has this combo been all my life??

I had not truly lived until today.


But now I am in a pickle.
For my PB jar is nearly emptied. =[
Soo..RANDOM SURVEY.
What is/are your favorite brand/s of PB, and why?

Participants will be given Morgan sundaes, free of charge.
Although hugs are always legit pay. ;]

Mhmk. On to lunch!

*'LICIOUS LUNCHIES*

Ham and cheese sammie with Sun Chips and mini Vitamin Water.
NOW it's the end of the Sun Chips.
FINALLY.

School lunches are packed by Mum, so they aren't as affected by Morgan craziness (read: creativity) as my other foodage.

But nevah fear!
Thar be no repetitive eating HERE:

Boonana-Nutella smoothie and vanilla NuGo bar
*taste buds dance with glee*


Oh Nutella. You have stolen my heart.

I'll need that back, though.
So I can, y'know...live.
Preferably...*gasp*...soon....

Speaking of hearts, does anyone know how to improve blood circulation? Though I'm fairly close to my goal weight, my fingernails/lips still turn blue whenever the temperature drops below 60, and I get cold very easily.
No es funskies, let me tell you.

Anywho. Back to foodie! Snack didn't hold me over well (Again? WHUT?), so I had early dindins.

Salad with raspberry vinaigrette, strawberries, and pine nuts, plus crepe filled with (as much) broccoli-mushroom-shallot sauce (as I could cram in there =D).

Mhm. Strawberrehs.

Each one of those little ruby beauties was reminiscent of summer. *sigh*

BUT HEEYARS THA REEL WINNAH:

Peach cobbler with French vanilla ice cream.
Oh noez! No moah cobblah. =[
*sniffle*

Wowza. It be late, m'dears.
So I'm callin' it beddybyetime now, lest I fall asleep in one of my five classes tomorrah.

o.o

...Wish me luck.

Oh Morgster you're so cute.

Sorry about that sunburn. Ouchie.

Oo I've never had PB with cereal...must. try. now. Those are only two of my favoritest (teehee) foods in the whole wide world.

And strawberries <3

Holy Moses (sorry that's the Jew in me comin' out)...NUTELLA+BANANA smoothie!?!? You are a goddess.

ice cream = major food porn

So so...you asked me for suggestions on eating at school. I think I'll write more about this on my next postie, but but. I won't lie to ya, my friend. It's hard. I always feel v. self-conscious (is that your probs too?), like everyone's looking at me and wondering why in the hey I am eating (ED's all like, "Why is the fat girl eating?" and I'm like, "Dood. Shut up now.")

But I figure this is not about ED or about what people think. This is about me and my HEALTH and my LIFE. And if that means having a snack in public, then who am I to complain (more foodie for my tummy)? We need to keep looking at the BIG PICTURE. Health is so much more important than anything else!

Have a good day honeybunches <3

MMMMM SUUMMMMMMMMERRRRR!

look at yyour gorgeous pics. i MISS PUFFINS! i cant find pb ones anywhere anymore.. theyre only cinnamon wherevv i go! :(

thanks for the help morgy morg!

*confession*
just scared that if i DO eat more then i am eating now.. (even though i'm a litttttle bit hungry all the time)

*sigh* stupid ED.

thus if i increase i'll gain.
makes sense???
but i'm still hungggry monkeyyy..

lol! as usual I cackled my way through your entire post. damn you, morgan, for making me burn so much calories from laughing! haha!
as for my fav PB brand...I don't really care for brands, so long as they are 1) all natural 2) chunky 3) cheap, cheap cheap! So I usually buy WF's 365 brand...hee!

Kiki said...

Morgy, you're so funny! You're a cute little 'mater, don't worry! Can't wait til summer!

Glad you experienced the amazingness that is PB and cereal! I have a lot of fav. brands. I like Skippy natural because it's cheap and okay for being a maintstream brand. And maranantha but it's like $7 a jar. And PB and Co, because it comes in chocolate banana flava!

OH, bril idea just now. Instead of me and Emily stealing your ice cream, and you stealing my pecan walnut butter, we can meet in a central location. Like Iowa! You can bring your cobbler and ice cream, I can bring my PW butter, and Emily can bring her bunny scones. And we can make amazing sundaes! Yes. I like this plan.

Have a great day love!

Just found your blog so wanted to say "hi" cause your food looks delicious and anyone who eats peach cobbler is very cool IMO. So "hi"!

I am pretty new to nut butters so am eating PB and Co smooth operator- it's good, but too runny to put on anything but oatmeal/cereal (which I have also recently discovered is awesome).

next up to try for me is almond butter! Barney and Maranatha seem popular but I am in Scotland with literally 1 brand to select from so hope it's good!

I LOVE PB IN CEREAL!!!
My favorite pb is Arrowhead Mills organic valencia peanut butter. No salt, no sugar, and they keep the skins of the peanuts on so it's more nutritious! Love it.

My bottle of fish oil pills says it helps with the heart and circulatory system. I've only been taking them for 2 or 3 weeks and already I noticed I'm less cold!

I had strawberries with raspberry vinaigrette yesterday too! We are twins! :D

That dern crazy weather! It's happening here too- sunny and bright then gloomy and... cold. I despise the cold. Well, not really. It means I can wear scarves!

Tehe, you're a tomato! :)
Buttt a very cute tomato.
Wait, tomatoes aren't normally considered very cute... how about a raspberry? They are downright adorable!

Mmmkay, total loser over here with my lack of special super cool pb brands, but I still love Jiff! It's delicious.
I've always wanted to try PB&Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams. It's so expensive though (like $6 at the local health food store).

Strawberries in salad = best thing evaaah. Wait, maybe nutella + strawberries? Now, that is tasty!

Haha, how could I think I needed my trusty chagul?

Your comments always make me laugh too! All the people around me when I read them think a silly, giggling loon. (Pffft, they just don't get it.)

<333
Have a super cool day!
(Kick those classes in the buttocks!)

hey morgs! sorry im a little late! (dont hate!) :D

the weather has been so strange here too! it was warm and breezy over the weekend, then rain, then snow, now we are back to one digit temperatures? bazaar! but i hope you get some aloe vera sweetie - it helps sooth the sunburn.

i want your breakfast! puffin love + more pb? oh my goodness, *swoon* ill have to remember that tomorrow.

my favorite pb - anything from pb&co! white chocolate wonderful and cinnamon raisin are my top picks. i also like buying the raw, freshly ground from my co-op (i then add salt and honey) but ive heard great things about TJ's creamy pb!

a nutella smoothie! recipe!? i would be dancing too :) and vanilla peach cobbler looks amazing. girly you eat so well - i hope ed is scared right now!

i know you have a long day so i hope you get a good night sleep! love you with all my heart <3

p.s thanks for the extra-special comment - it made my day!
