Just a glimpse of something pretty...

hot chocolate, cinnamon-swirl toast, scrambled eggs

Happy First Day of Summer! I spent it watching Doctor Who and working. I don't think I went outside at all today, which is sad because it was really nice. This was breakfast from last week. I was really busy this past weekend (and had a few opportunities to take pictures, but I just... didn't...) but it was really great. I finally saw my best friend on Monday and spent a good portion of the day with her. She's been back for two weeks, but our schedules didn't match up until yesterday. Sunday was Father's Day, which I spent with my family. And on Friday (I'm going backwards here...) I went on a field trip for work! We ventured into LA to visit R.M. Schindler's King's Road House and then decided to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House spur of the moment right after instead of getting lunch. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the Hollyhock House, but outside was fine. I just didn't take my camera out of my bag. (It might have been because I was there for work...)

This Hello Kitty mug makes me feel nostalgic. I've had it for so long (I think I got it as a free bonus for spending so much money at the Sanrio store in second grade when it was the most popular and important thing in my life) and it's really small. But I still love it after so long and it's perfect for hot chocolate.

multigrain toast, scrambled eggs, orange

I'm pretty sure this is from last week sometime... And I didn't even eat the orange because it was dried out and gross (which I found out after I took these pictures...). I think I drank some orange juice to make up for it, though.

business as usual

This moment in my life is called Lauren Works from Home. I don't have to change out of my PJs if I don't want to and don't have someone stopping by. And I get to eat pretty much whatever I want when I want. But it's almost like doing what I was doing a week ago before I had a job... It's surprisingly difficult to balance work and random Internet surfing, though. The past week hasn't been that hard and I'm really only working part time, so it's all working out.

Leftovers

Sometimes it's just best to reheat things you already have in the refrigerator.

Like couscous and asparagus and chicken parmesan, with nectarines and blueberries and a glass of lemonade.

Breakfast of Champions

The most interesting things that I've been doing since I've been home for the summer have been the food I make now that I have a fully-stocked kitchen at my disposal all day. Most of the time I don't even change out of my PJs...

Cheese Omelet, half of a grapefruit, chai latte.

Naked Lunch

Couscous, asparagus and chicken. Yum.
