Sorry for the late post, I was out running around all day. Uptown and downtown and uptown and downtown and Brooklyn and the nail salon and Whole Foods and Starbucks and it’s a tough life, okay?
And yes. I did go to Starbucks again. I’m actually quite glad I did because while I was there a completely sane man approached me with a very lucrative offer. He wanted to know if I would like to wrestle with him on Wednesday night, and if I wasn’t up for that, perhaps we could just go on a date.
I swear.
And then, to continue my bizarro day, I was walking Jack this afternoon and a woman stopped to let her dog sniff him and then proceeded to tell me that her dog was having one of her “sexy days.”
I pulled Jack away. He is just a puppy, for god’s sake.
Anyway, in the midst of all this I ate a Z Bar, but did not photograph it. Things were just too hectic, I think you’ll understand.
But I did photograph dinner:
Did you know that if you mix pesto and plain yogurt, you get a nice, creamy sauce? You do, it’s true. This is just my pesto mixed with about two tablespoons of non-fat yogurt. Then pasta, shrimp and sun dried tomatoes.
And now I will probably have some chocolate chips. I think I deserve them.
I actually use ff plain yogurt frequently to make “sauces,” especially with pasta or as the base of a creamy curry. I often cook all the vegetables I want in my sauce or curry, add lots of spices (or grated parm cheese if making an alfredo type dish) and the put in the yogurt, stirring super fast, at the last minute. Tastes great but definitely does not refrigerate well. I’ve learned to make only as much as I am going to eat that night.
Apparently both you and the lady’s dog were having “sexy days” considering you easily attracted the guy at Starbucks. His pick up line needs a little work.
Where are you headed for your vegas trip? After 2 years of living here - would be happy to give you review or recommendations!
whoops! totally meant that for Chandra’s blog! Haha my bad!
I can’t wait to try your pesto idea! I wonder if Fage would be good like that? Do you cook the yogurt?
And “sexy days”.. hmm…
So did you decide to wrestle or go on the date? I bet you Chris would show up to support you if you decided on the wrestling. If you need any hints on some wrestling moves I could put you in touch with my brother!
At least he had the sense not to break the “never ask a woman to wrestle with less than 24 hours notice” rule. He was planning ahead!
Is the title of this post a not-so-subtle reference to me?
Chris,
I think that’s EXACLTY what she’s trying to say.
OMG - I have attracted some creepy crazies this year, but that is the best attempted pick-up ever. I don’t know how you were able to resist!
Corey -
Never thought of that, thanks for the tip. And I hate leftovers anyway.
Eating -
That’s true, I didn’t think of that. His pick up line needs a LOT of work. So did his hair but I didn’t want to get into that.
Rae -
That’s cool, I understand. I wish I was going to vegas.
Ashley -
Don’t cook the yogurt. You’re actually not supposed to cook pesto either, just stir it into the hot pasta. I think fage would work great.
Larissa -
I think Chris would support me too, but I passed. He moved on to another lady. I’m pretty sure she turned him down too.
Jenny -
That is so true. I should’ve said yes.
Chris -
Of course not.
Chrissy -
Shh.
Chandra -
I know.
I was reading this article in the health section on CNN about “dealing with jerks at the gym”, and part of it made me think of you and the day you had the annoying person next to you in gym class:
“Then there’s the New York lawsuit involving a screaming spin class participant who was forcibly upended on his stationary bike by a classmate fed up with his loud grunts and shouts of “You go, girl!” ”
LOL Here’s the article if you’re interested…

and by gym class I meant spin class…
