I burnt it

We ate it anyway. It was okay. I’m not a fan of these crusts and I couldn’t taste the basil at all. Perhaps I should have added it after baking. Or just not burnt the pizza…. I lowered my oven rack to the very bottom before cooking this. Bad move Pamela.

I had Pita Pit TWO times this week because I sucked at packing my lunch this week. Ohhh well.
Baba ganoush pita:

And the other one with a chopped bell pepper:

Friday evening Andy and I went to Tamarind for dinner before seeing Doubt. It’s in an old house in Oakland:

I got the Beigan Bartha because I LOVE eggplant like nobody’s business. Haha I just said nobody’s business. That’s one of those things that goes through my head while typing but I usually don’t type it.

I hope you’re enjoying my WILD blogging today.

Here’s a picture of the menu:

Andy got some kind of paneer that was vibrantly colored plus rice and some veggie thing:

Beigan Bartha + rice + roti (whole wheat naan):

I am now officially a lover of Indian food. It was GREAT. I ate about half then took the rest home. I ended up eating it around 10 PM when I got home from the theatre!!

Doubt was really good too! The theater in Oakland is really tiny and we were right in the center so I found myself really engrossed in the story. That’s the third play I’ve been to through the Irish and Classical Theatre and it was definitely my favorite. Thanks Andy!

I got to bed pretty early with plans of doing my long run fairly early in the AM.

I got to North Park by about 9:30 Saturday morning. I made a stop at Dick’s to get some new socks. I concluded that the blister on my toe was due to my socks so I got some actual running socks.
They’re pink:

There is a grey pair too though.

So the plan was 6.5 miles. Each week I’m attempting to increase my long run by half a mile. So I started out feeling okay. I was concerned that the Garmin might die because it immediately warned me of a low battery when I turned it on. Luckily it didn’t die! That would’ve been very discouraging.

It was much more humid than last week so this 6.5 miles was A LOT harder than last weeks 6 miles. I remember chanting WATER in my head repeatedly as I searched for a water fountain. I stopped at 3 I think but was still majorly dehydrated by the end. I was also chanting something like “you can do this, you can do this. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? Water water water water.” Yes, it was that kind of run.

I managed to survive though!

The Garmin:

Slower than last week but I finished!

COVERED in sweat:

But feeling good:

I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and munched on a Luna bar and a plain wrap because I couldn’t keep my hands out of the groceries plus a giant bottle of water.

I got home and relaxed and ate a TON until I felt way too full and then went to Sarah’s house.

She gave me a fruit strip:

I love these!

Sarah and I hung out until around 9 or something and then I came home and read my new book which I love. I’m about halfway through. It’s definitely easy Summer reading which is what I’ve been wanting.

Oh by the way, I never mentioned where I’m going for my little solo-vacation. I’m going to Vegas!!! LOL I know. It was really random. I had been planning to take a train to DC for a couple of days but that was going to be more expensive than flying to Vegas and staying for three nights. Weird. Sooo I’m going to Las Vegas by myself for three nights. I’m definitely not a gambler or a partier. I just plan to relax and take long walks and pictures. I might take a trip to the Grand Canyon but I’m still undecided at this point. I’m really excited though. It’s going to be lots of fun!

That’s about all I have for you now. You, my friends are caught up on my life. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I’ll leave you with a picture of my pleasantly plump cat, Bowie.
