Day 23: Happy Valentine's Day!

The day started off slow. Both Leigh and I had the day off. We figure since we have the built in babysitter (daycare) we might as well use that and take a vacation instead of trying to pay extra for someone to watch Stella.

For breakfast I made a fresh fruit bowl and heated up some leftover french toast from Sunday.

For lunch we went out for Valentine's day. We went to An in Cary. While they might not have had E2 approved meals, that had a pretty good vegetarian selection. We started with the Viet Spring Rolls (Vegetarian Option Available) Noodles, Cucumber, Sprouts, Greens, Mint, Peanut Sauce.

For the main course I ordered the Pad Thai (Vegetarian Option Available) with Rice Noodles, Onions, Celery, Bean Sprouts, Scallions, Egg, Peanuts, Lime... I also had some Miso soup with the dish. Everything was excellent!

For dinner we tried the Panini Recipe. It started with 2 slices of bread with hummus spread on each slice. Then I saute onions and mushrooms in a pan. While that was sauteing I chopped some spinach and some fresh cilantro together. I combined everything together. The sandwich looked huge! But, no fear. once I put the sandwich on the pan and squashed it with a tea pot filled with water, it slowly shrunk in size.



We also made some sweet potato fried using this cool nonstick film that Leigh bought for me for valentine's day. While the fried were not crispy, they were also not stuck to the pan, so I guess it did its job.
