These, are some, of my fayyyy-vorite things
August 28, 2010(Sung to the tune of the song from The Sound of Music, of course!)
The weekend isn’t even over yet, but already it has been jam-packed with many of my favorite things.
1. Whole Foods made-to-order pizza (half Daiya/tomato/basil for me, half dairy mozz with mushrooms for Mike) If you’re read this blog before you know I’m obsessed. I’m starting a campaign to convince Mike that every Friday should be pizza night…. in the interest of carb-loading for Saturday long runs, that is.
Just look at that beauty!!
2. More of the above (each pizza has 8 pieces, 4 for each of us, and we always eat the entire pizza in one sitting. Hey, it’s thin crust!)
3. These bars. Mike claims they are life-changing… you can be the judge of that once I post the recipe and you try them for yourself!
4. This morning’s 12 miler. In the 60s/low 70s, breezy, perfect… everything you can ever hope for a long run to be, this long run was.
5. Greekfest with my family and Mike’s family. Oh, and # 5 1/2 is for matching shirts (coincidental, I swear).
6. Grandmothers 
7. Moms 
8. Dads 
9. Waiters that bring me more than one measly slice of avocado when I ask for avocado on the side… they actually brought me the equivalent of two avocados worth!!! Perhaps that’s normal in San Fran and other glorious vegan-friendly cities, but in Chi-town, this is unheard of and I was thrilled to pieces. And full for about 6 hours afterward! 
10. Living in a beautiful city that is located halfway between my parents and Mike’s parents. And I love that Chicago boasts an exceptional ethnic scene… Greektown, Chinatown, Little Italy, Pilsen, the Ukrainian Village, and more!
11. The “Tall Ships” exhibit at Navy Pier. Well, truth be told this exhibit was a bit lackluster but riding on the $7 Water Taxi to get home was ridiculously wet and fun! 
`12. Being able to take a picture from Mike and my favorite spot in Chicago when we are both wearing decent clothes… typically when I’m at this juncture I’m clothed in sweaty running attire.
Tell me 3 of your favorite things!

i whole-heartedly agree on pizza. especially pizza sitting in the top spot
we DO have pizza & salad every friday here at my house. sometimes we make it, sometimes we get a WF pie, and sometimes we go out for it. but yes, pizza. every. single. friday. (Love).
Great list!
Mmm… homemade tomato-basil pizza, my cat’s rusty-colored belly, and not waking up to an alarm.
The 2 avocado lunch serving is awesome – I noticed that too when I would ask for it in addition to a house/garden salad.

And I can see why! I’m so jealous of your closeness to the city.

I sign your petition for Friday night Pizza night if you need me to…that is, AFTER you post that recipe for those bars. YUMMY!
Oooh…those bars caught my eye! Please share the recipe!
I hear you on the avocado. There is one place around here, BJ’s Brewhouse, that brings about 1/2 avocado when I ask for it on my salad. Love it!!
My fav things – my kids, hubby & chocolate.

In no particular order:
