Picture Wednesday.

Breakfast: Oatmeal, diced apple, cinnamon, small squeeze of agave and a *splash* of half and half. Nothing wrong with a little fat.

Lunch: Open face turkey. With Laughing Cow soft cheese, herb and garlic variety., my new fave thing.

Wine courtesy of a Groupon. I love wine brought to my door at a lower price.

Bye bye Uverse. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Dinner, yummy corn chowder. With salad and warm bread, who needs Panera?
