Please forgive me for not posting an entire day's worth of food. This is my first time. Don't I get one free pass?
This week, my dear readers, I am staying in a hotel at an academic conference out of town. On Monday, I had two downright scary presentations to tackle - so I knew excactly how to treat myself the Sunday evening before. I hit the pavement quickly after checking into my hotel to collect supplies:
1. Wine (specifically, a 3-glass mini Boca box of merlot).
2. An inappropriately massive salad (specifically, a Jason's Deli salad bar explosion with greens, a hard-boiled egg, apple slices, tons of veggies, trail mix, pickled beets, feta cheese, balsamic vinegar, and honey).
3. A pint of icecream (specifically, a pint of choclate peanut butter Arctic Zero to which I added spoon-fulls of real peanut butter).
4. My PJ's.
5. My king-sized hotel bed.
6. My flat-screen TV tuned to Food Network.
Those presentations on Monday? I kicked ass.
With fuel like that how could you not rock your presentations ;)
ReplyDeleteI miss arctic zero, I want to make a trip to the states just to have some more!! GOod luck with your presentations :)
ReplyDeleteoh yum, I haven't had arctic zero in ages. so expensive. good luck on the conference!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, Jason's Deli has the HUGEST salad bar ever. I think that just might be my suggestion for dinner tonight - good call Sarah! Good luck with the rest of the conference...and congrats on kicking ass and taking names on the last ones!
ReplyDeleteNice collection of preparation supplies! And the TV tuned to the Food Network is obviously genius.

Congrats! Btw I have never thought of using a hotel's ice bucket for keeping ice cream chilled but now I know what to do next time I'm travelling ;). Oh how I've missed your dry wit and your posts! I have been reading from time to time and catching up, but am so glad to comment again ;).
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE you kicked ass. I wouldn't have expected anything else.
ReplyDeletePlus, with that salad and boxed wine to fuel you, you were destined to succeed.
Congratulations! (:
You go girl ;) Glad to hear your presentation went well, AND that you are also a fan of Jason's Deli :D
