Hello loves!
Firstly, I’m sorry for the unannounced absence. I wasn’t planning on it; I was only planning on not blogging for my weekend (two weekends ago now) spent at Chicago pride, but I figured out while I wasn’t blogging that this just isn’t right for me at this time in my life. Blogging and taking pictures of my food causes me to spend way more time than I would like thinking about food. I love the blogosphere though, all you girls are amazing! So probably once I have the kind of relationship with food that I want, a healthier one, I’ll be back. And until then, I’ll post when I feel like it, but that’ll probably be pretty sporadic.
Anywho, picture catch-up time!
best salad everrrr
While in Chicago, Alex took me out to lunch at a raw restaurant, Karyn’s Fresh Corner! I got the house salad, which came with vegan cesear dressing on the side (I didn’t even have to ask for the dressing on side! I can never order salads with the dressing already mixed in.. ). I loved my meal, but Alex’s wasn’t so good. She had the raw ravioli, which ended up tasting mostly like salt and, well, salt. Ick. I would totally recommend the salad though. I don’t remember everything that was in it.. I do remember that there were candied walnuts that were AMAZING. 
Ohmigod, pride was awesome! It felt great to be in a place where being gay was really celebrated. It’s not that I feel discriminated against most of time (I don’t!), but this was a completely new and bright atmosphere. It made me so happy.
ADDICTED. green smoothie + strawberries + puffins!
Enough said.
LOVE.
I try to restrain, but we were at Whole Foods and I just couldn’t resist. I liked the Botanic No. 9 better than the Trilogy (that one was Alex’s), but the Botanic No. 7 is my favorite. I love that Alex is holding these for me to take a picture. We were at the train station and I had to get a photograph before I drank the whole thing on the way home. I think she’s more comfortable with me taking pictures of food in public than I am sometimes :p
Taken at a wedding we went to last Saturday 
That’s all for now. I love you all and I’ll still be stalking reading your blogs and tweeting. Have a wonderful (WIA)Wednesday!
xoxo.
Welcome back..for now! I can relate to what you felt with becoming overly engulfed with taking pics, and thinking about food. It’s all about that balance between life and blogging, and you do what you gotta do to get that!!
