Their lox spread is a little ho hum, but the bagel is delish. Check them out next time you’ve got a craving (or get motivated by a local news story 😝). What’s your bagel order?

Wii FundNick has been diligently saving money to buy a Wii, adding another five dollars over the weekend from shoveling snow, and a few dollars from two good test scores, and twelve cents found on the sidewalk.

    Ummm….that salad looks SOOOO good! Is is black eyed peas, tomato and avacado? I have been wanting to go to a zumba class but none are at a good time for me around here. Wii apparently has a zumba game…wonder how that works?!

    Claire, it was delish! black-eyed peas, avocado, tomatoes and Thousand Island dressing. We had our belated New Years’ Day dinner today, and my mom made sure we all had our black-eyed peas for luck. I haven’t tried the Wii Zumba yet, but think it’s much like the official Zumba dvds – better than no Zumba, but not as good as going to a live, in-person class. Won’t stop me from getting it once Nick gets the Wii. :)

    With all of your talk of Zumba classes, I think I’m going to have to see if my gym offers any. It just sounds like so much fun! (Minus the “Help Me”)

    You’ve inspired me! I’m joining fitness factory tomorrow because they offer the most zumba classes a week and the price is right – and I need to get 30 lbs. off for my stepson’s May wedding. I’ve been looking for Wii Zumba but have only seen it for Xbox360. I have the official Zumba dvd’s – BORING! Don’t waste your money.

    Love your weekend photos!

    ps – I just have to tell you how mean you are when you post food finds. I went to get a sandwich today at my favorite italian bread place – and staring me in the face was Sicilian Sunburn. Of course I had to buy it to try it since it looked so good when you posted it. OMG! I ate one and left the rest in the car so I wouldn’t eat any more.
