With the pest control guy stopping by our apartment this morning, my head was all over the place. I completely forgot to bring my totally-packed lunch (and all of my snacks!) to work. Bummer!
Thankfully I keep an emergency stash of soup in a drawer at my desk so I have something to eat should a food emergency surface. (Apparently I keep lots of fun stuff in my desk drawers!)
Foodie Drawer
Also in the drawer: A crap-ton of tea, honey, jelly, hot chocolate, utensils, lady products 😉 and miscellaneous personal papers. Things not in the drawer: peanut butter. I tried this once and the whole jar was gone in three days. Three days. And it wasn’t even specialty flavored peanut butter. I’m a mess.
Around lunchtime today I rummaged through the drawer and selected a can of Progresso chicken barley soup.

I also purchased a pack of honey roasted peanuts for $.50 from the little café on the second floor of our building to add some healthy fats and protein to my meal.

Fat + Protein
Fat: Check! Protein: Check!
This makeshift meal was surprisingly pretty darn good. Drawer food to the rescue!
Before moving on to some giveaway fun, I just wanted to let you know that the Fashion page was updated!

Strawberries are definitely my favorite. I like to puree them up and bake them into angel food cake 🙂
Oh man, where do I even begin in terms of favorite fruit? I love so many of them, for such different reasons. I guess in the grand scheme of things, should I only be allowed to eat one fruit for the rest of my life, it would be watermelon.
So. So. Good.

I love pineapple!! i love putting it in greek yogurt MmMmM 😀
Oh my gosh, all-time favorite? I don’t know that I could choose. I love all fruit. If I REALLY had to pick one, I’d probably go for strawberries – the best way I’ve ever had them was drizzled with a 25 year aged balsamic vinegar and then torched with a creme brulee torch. They were pretty amazing.
All time fav is probablyyy blackberries. Plain, fresh and simple- they’re the best!!
My all time favorite fruit is mango! I love to slice and eat it 🙂
