I am happy to report that I am back in Maine and preparing for the upcoming semester (by lounging around and doing nothing, of course!). I actually got back yesterday. My mom drove me to Freeport to meet Patrick and he brought me the rest of the way. We had lunch in Freeport at a nice little place called Azure Cafe. The food was yummy and I was surprised to find that their portion sizes were appropriate. I was bad and ordered fettuccine alfredo, but it was really only about a cup's worth of pasta so I didn't feel so guilty. It also came with a salad, so I got some veggies in too. My camera was packed so I had to take a picture from their website. Because we all know that this place did not look this pretty in January!
When Patrick and I got back up here we went grocery shopping. I was so impressed by how many fruits and veggies we bought in comparison to the rest of the food. We're going to have a healthy week. Go us! One of the few things that was not a fruit or a veggie was our ice cream. I'm slightly addicted to sweets and I love a little something sweet before I go to bed.
Enter Edy's Slow Churned ice cream. I love this stuff! For a half a cup it only has 120 calories and 3 grams of fat. How can you feel guilty about that? And what I love most about this stuff is that I don't feel like I'm sacrificing. There are lots of cookie dough chunks and chocolate chips and honestly, I can't tell the difference between this and the real stuff. Patrick says he can, but I've got him eating this without complaints, so I think he's lying. We also like the Peanut Butter Cup flavor and the Mint Chocolate Chip flavor.
And don't you love our little ice cream bowls? My mom and I just had to stop at the Crate and Barrel outlet in Kittery on our way up. I found these for 95 cents! I like that they're on the small side so they keep portion sizes in control.
I also bought these cute vases while I was there. These are the accent colors I want in my kitchen after we get married (we don't really have a choice right now). And I was happy to see that my plants weren't completely dead. In fact, my African Violet is in bloom!
What a nice thing to come home to! Hope you all have been having a lovely weekend. I'm off to run 4 miles!
