  • Sunny Sunday Brunch

    Brunch was so lovely this morning!  Today is my dad’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Daddy!), so I was up at 8 AM to sing him ‘Happy Birthday’ over the phone.  Since all of my sisters and I are spread apart, it’s always a race to be one of the first to call on birthdays and holidays, hence why I was up at 8 AM.  I think that I was one of the first ones today, so go me! :P

    Of course, I went back to bed, and woke up at noon (love lazy weekends).  P and I finally got our act together for brunch around 1:30 PM.  Today is such a beautiful, sunny day!  We decided to try a new place, Peter’s choice.  He chose Cafe Cluny.  We had walked by it several times, but never tried it.  I am soooo glad we did!  Not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere was so precious!  It felt like a lovely antique parlor.  I adored it.

    (This is a picture from their site, obviously it was packed when we went).  We sat in a little booth/nook in the window…SO lovely.

    Anyway, I had two iced coffees over the course of the meal:

    We split a berry medley with sheep’s yogurt and a drizzle honey to start.  I thought the sheep’s yogurt was a nice touch - and the berries were so fresh!

    For an entree, I had two sunny-side up eggs with 2 pieces of whole wheat toast:

    and a side salad:

    Such a sweet brunch.

    After brunch, P went off to do more ‘mystery shopping’ and I went back to the apt to blog and watch more Olympics.  My only assignment for the afternoon is to workout before 6 PM, because P wants to do something tonight.  I’m not sure what that will entail, but I was told to be ready to go by then.

    As far as a workout today, I’m doing my C25K run for sure, and I’d like to go to the gym as well, but I need to take it easy on the weights.  I’m going to start consistently going to the Total Body Conditioning class (basically a weight lifting class) on Mondays at 7.  I love the teacher and I always get a great workout when I go.  So I don’t want to do much with weights today because I’ve got class tomorrow!  Alright guys, have a great Sunday!

    Hmmm, never had sheep’s yogurt before. Does it taste any different?
