Today I kept thinking it’s almost Friday, it’s almost Friday – 3 1/2 day weekend – wooohooo!! Since my brain was already in vacation mode, off we went to AAA today at lunch to pick up some books and maps. We are taking my Sister-in-Law and her hubby to Las Vegas and possibly the Grand Canyon next month – I can’t wait!
Rachel and I were completely on the same brain wave length today. After running to AAA and to Target to buy fun stuff, we both were like – “what do you have for lunch?” She eats the same thing everyday – I don’t know how she does it. In my mad rush, I threw in stuff to make a sandwich with hummus and veggies. Then, on thought…we are right next to the cheap “sushi” place – let’s get take out!
We both ordered a Hawaiian Roll – Spicy tuna with cucumber, avocado, Tobiko and spicy sauce – so awesome!
And we shared an Avocado Rice Wrap Roll Up Thingy ~ Yes, that is exactly what they call it on the box 😀
Avocado makes everything better, doesn’t it?! It was the best lunch and all for under $10 – woohoo!
My lunch held me over for a long time. Until….we stayed late and traffic was once again awful! My 11 mile + 7 mile drive to my co-workers house took 1 hour and 15 minutes ~ugh! I seroiusly had thoughts thinking I could walk and run it faster. Ok, I know this isn’t the case, but, still!
After I dropped off my co-worker, I stopped at the local Farmer’s Market by our house. I am on a quest for nectarines. No such luck, think I need to try on Saturday. I did pick up two packs of these awesome looking tortillas.
I was STARVING by the time I got home at 7:15 and ended up switching from my planned BBQ Chicken Avocado Wrap to Black Bean, Corn & Avocado Burritos. I took out a baggie of frozen beans I put in the freezer when I made them a few weeks back. Dinner was ready in 10 minutes – woohoo!
All wrapped up and ready to go! The Husband cut up the avocado – I LOVE big chunks of AVOCADO!
I also learned an important lesson tonight. You know how I freeze everything? Well, in my haste to not waste (hey, that rhymes!), I froze a 1/2 a butternut squash in hopes that I could cook it up later. I popped it in my microwave steamer with some water and cooked it for 8 minutes. Here was the result sprinkled with a little sea salt:
Absolutely nasty! It was totally soggy and watery and just plain ick! So, if you are ever thinking to “freeze” that butternut squash, I wouldn’t recommend it! 😀 Just go ahead and cook it up!
I came home to the coolest surprise ever, however, The Husband made me wait until after dinner to open….My surprise is up next!
weird your new posts didnt show up on my google reader. luckily i came by your page to check the older comments!
i thought it was weird that there werent a bunch of new posts from you though.
anyway! YES avocado makes anything and everything better, as does sushi!
ok a surprise, i better go read more 😛
Wow that hawaiian roll and avocado roll looks delicious– and I love the name, haha!
Eew! I’ll remember that about the B-nut squash. Soggy butternut squash does not sound appetizing. I’ll just make more b-nut squash fries. I never seem to have any trouble finishing them, haha!
Janetha ~ I am in the process of dropping my “blogspot” and going to just http://www.danicasdaily.com. I think it is making my subscription/reader feedings whacked. They said it would take up to 3 days but I hope it goes faster. Thanks for checking anyway 🙂
Anne ~ I LOVE butternut squash fries too – I should have done that with this one but I was too lazy.
