Packed lunch

Homemade spaghetti with meat sauce makes for a comforting lunch on a wintry afternoon

brrrr it's freezing out there and just one of those mornings that makes me wonder why i had bothered to get out of bed at all... and i'm seriously starting to feel burned out in this position - thank goodness this temporary assignment is coming to an end soon even though i don't really want to go back.  I had convinced myself that it was a fair trade - the title to put on my resume and the opportunity to gain the knowledge and experience at the next level up for sucking it up for a year - but it's become so difficult once I realized that I'm being asked to perform at a higher capacity compared to my peer while getting paid way below the pay grade for this position.  I'm usually pretty good at keeping the bitterness and the feeling of being taken advantage of at bay - and most days I can put up with the constant nitpicking for the sake of improvement - but not today.  not today.  Today i'll take a stand.

How could I resist these exciting new flavors like Jelly Popping Candy and Cookie Nut Crunch?

maple French toast bagel

Forgot to bring lunch (that had been packed and waiting in the fridge) and just realizing that had made me that much more aware of my hunger so I hopped over to Timmy's and found my new favorite bagel... the maple French toast toasted with cream cheese

insalata caprese

Tried to hold onto the taste of summer for just a tad longer with a simple caprese salad - except the downpour this morning sort of killed our basil plant and I had to improvise with pesto - not quite the same but turned out nice enough
