Typical Tuesday: Ode to Whole Foods

Why is Tuesday night different from all other nights? Because on this night we go to Whole Foods! I like to go to WF on Tuesdays to stock up on snacks for the week and to get dinner. I had a deeeelicious black bean soup and a mess of a salad bar concoction, as it always seems to be. The WF stores in Dallas (I've been to 3 of the 4) are a little different than the ones in NY. There is more prepared-meal type stuff in Dallas, which is nice for mish-mosh prevention, but there isn't an Asian bar or an Indian bar the way there is at Union Square. And yes, there is often a Tex-Mex station. I really love eating dinner at WF at least once a week, because it feels like real food, as opposed restaurant food. It's as close to cooking for myself as I can get while on the road. I realize that with $40 a day I could get something more high class, but it works for me.

This week's snacks: ginger snap Larabar, blueberry Pure bar, dark chocolate, apple, plum, white peach, bananas. It's kind of fun to try to buy local foods in a different state because they're all different than what's local at home! While still not local, I'm much more ok with buying fruit from Cali when I'm in TX vs when I'm in NY.

I brought my glorious dinner back to the Executive Lounge at the hotel and had a nice big free glass of wine (tell me that isn't baller), and blogged! I like going to the Executive Lounge because there's wireless, and I like being around people. Not like I'm chatting people up, but I get lonely otherwise. Also there's only wired internet in the rooms and I get restless just sitting at the desk.

Now I give you photos of my room this week (experimenting with lighting). Keep in mind this isn't even the nice section of the hotel.





Tuesday night also happens to yield my favorite TV event: The Office on TBS from 9 to 10pm Central. I love it! I only started watching regularly last season, so I have a lot to catch up on. This week's new episode was great, by the way. My favorite line was when Jim said that they were playing the game correctly "if Point A is delusion and Point B is the hospital."

Ohhhhh Jim Halpert, why aren't you a real person?
