It's weird- when I'm home, there are things I miss about the city, and when I'm in the city, there are things I miss about home. I love the atmosphere of both, though they couldn't be more different.
One of the things I miss about the city when I'm away? My gym! This morning, I woke up (well, actually my smoke detector gave me a heart attack when it beeped loudly to tell me the battery was low), ate a Clif Z-Bar and headed to the gym for spin class. Today, the instructor focused on sprints, which is always more challenging than it seems. It's tough to go fast and stay in control of your legs! I was a sweaty mess by the time class was done, and headed home to whip up some breakfast.
My fridge is shamefully empty (a block of tofu, a few lemons and a massive jar of salsa are the most nourishing things in there), so I dug into the freezer for some Van's organic flax waffles and frozen raspberries.
First, I made some peanut paste with 1/4 c peanut flour, maple syrup and a splash of water, then I prepared some "jelly" by microwaving a handful of frozen raspberries for 45 seconds on high. I spread two defrosted waffles with half of each, and dug in!
One of the things I always miss about home? Plenty of natural light and beautiful outdoor photography backgrounds!
By the way, like my strawberry plate? I've been waiting since January to break this guy out!
Today is looking hot and sunny in the Big Apple. YAY. Too bad I'll be in classes all afternoon! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Which do you consider "home"- the place where you grew up, or the place you live now?
