Breakfast at Flour + First Meal

A day or two after the big move, J and I were running an errand in Boston's South End, and we decided to have breakfast. I was pretty grumpy from living out of boxes, not having a hot shower for days on end (stupid hot water!!!), and realizing that my new SONY travel laptop got stolen, but was happy to stumble upon Flour, a bakery that J has been to quite a bit without me!We had a couple pastry items alongside breakfast sandwiches. I had a coconut macaroon (of course...) and J had a fluffy, sweet brioche bun. Both were awesome, but my egg + cheese + tomato + arugula sandwich was off the chain! YUM!!! The egg was crazy good- but came in a weird rectangle shape with a custard-like consistency. I did like it, though, and the roll it was served on was warm and crusty, and soft on the inside. This breakfast powered me through to go home and do some serious work on the new house!

Here's the new dining room! It's getting there! :)That day I headed to the grocery store for actual ingredients, not just prepared food items. I wanted to finally cook in my kitchen! I was tired, so we were still talking an easy meal here... but cooking nonetheless! We had whole wheat spaghetti, red sauce, meatless meatballs, a kale salad, and garlic bread. And, since I don't have cable at the new place, we watched a few episodes of Six Feet Under that I've been renting from the library.

I had so much fun in the new kitchen!! :) I know it's silly, but I snagged a photo of the stove boiling water for the first time. Haha. Dinner rocked it out. Old school and delicious. I loved the first few days of WF salad bar splurges, but I was ready for a hot meal, that's for sure.A day or so later it was time to christen the oven! :) J and I both were dreaming about nachos so we made some ultimate vegetarian nachos with meatless buffalo wings. We toasted the wings in the oven first, chopped them up, and sprinkled them across tortilla chips with cheese and refried beans. After melting everything together we topped them with lettuce, salsa verde, chopped black olives, avocado, and sour cream. Nacho, nacho man! :)
