After running lunch errands the other day, I returned to my desk to see:

Haha…. why thank you.  Given the amount of food I keep at my desk, you’d think I was an even bigger deal…

And under the giant container of oats I keep at my desk:

42 ounces of oats at your fingertips at all times = necessary.

And my personal favorite was found in my top desk drawer…

What I ate

A friendly dinner

1 Comment

So last night, I hit up a local farmer’s market with two of my friends/coworkers, Jessie and Tim.

We were in search of inspiration for something to make for our friend’s dinner we scheduled what seems like 5 months ago….  All because you have to be VIP to get on Jessie’s calendar  …  Not pointing fingers or anything…

We did a loop around the market, to check out the goods:

After a mini-powwow on our findings, we decided to go with fajitas for our friends dinner. 

We ended up going with:

  • 2 green peppers
  • 1 lb of mixed lettuce greens
  • 1 green zucchini
  • 1 yellow zucchini
  • 2 ears of corn
  • 1 candy onion (basically a mild onion, but we were all super intrigued by the name)

We divided the remaining necessities for our fajitas amongst us, and each of us left to grocery shop/scavenge for food in our fridges/pantries.  Us accountants are so dang efficient sometimes 😉

First thing I did when I arrived at Tim and Jaci’s house was spread all the ingredients out on the counter. 

I guess I’m not capable of cooking unless I’m surrounded by a big fat mess 🙂

Jessie got to guac makin’ while Tim supervised:

I tended to the veggies:

Tim got his grill on:

Jaci got her shred on:

Then we feasted:

Yeah, I ate that. 🙂  And it was goooooooooood!
