The most important meal of the day

October 25, 2010 By Laura

On Sunday, that meal is brunch.  Yesterday I tried out the new brunch at the Inman Park Pure with one of my favorite partners-in-crime.

Reason #1 she is one of my favs: we ordered dessert first.  I think it may have even been her idea.

Churros y Chocolate Caliente

Churros are basically Spain’s answer to doughnuts beignets.  They’re fried and then coated in cinnamon and sugar.

The exterior of these was perfectly crisp, not greasy at all.  The inside was airy – the dough was just cooked through.  Watch out, Krispy Kreme.

Airy churro goodness

Served with a cup of hot chocolate perfection.  It wasn’t too sweet (a must given the fried sugary goodness) or too heavy (to the point that we questioned whether it was made with skim milk).  In fact, it only got better as we dunked the churros in it.

From the partner-in-crime:

I can’t not smile when I’m eating these.

Georgia has a silly law that you can’t serve alcohol in a restaurant on Sundays until 12:30p (after the good Southerns have attended church services).  After the churros were inhaled eaten, we were allowed to enjoy a mimosa.

Mimosa

Then it was on the the main: breakfast burrito.  It had a Mexican name that I naturally forgot to write down, but it was basically a chorizo, potato, and egg burrito (beans on the side, thankyouverymuch).

Breakfast Burrito

The burrito was topped with a medium salsa (just tiny kick to it), avocado slices, and oxaca cheese.  I ordered a side of salsa verde too!

Burrito insides

It was good.  Not great. The chorizo wasn’t very flavorful and the eggs were a bit over done. The rice a dry and would have benefited from more seasoning.  The salsas were definitely the best thing on that plate.

The guy at the table next to use ordered a breakfast version of salsa-verde soaked chicken fajitas.  Should I go back (and I will – those churros are crave-worthy), I’ll be ordering that. 🙂

We also took time to walk around the Inman Park neighborhood.  There are so many cute shops!  I bought a Life magazine from 1944.

July 3, 1944

It is so neat to leaf through and look at the ads and story topics (there are 10 pages dedicated to color printing!).

The discovery of the day was an adorable market, Savi.  It had some neat food items and a great beer/wine selection.  They aslo do beer and wine tastings – we were fascinated by the wines on tap, priced by the ounce for a self-serve tasting.

The owner was friendly and talked with us for a good 10 minutes about the wine selection.  He even offered to hunt down my beloved wine from a Barcelona trip 3 years ago.  They have a cozy–looking fire place and seating area.  I see a wine tasting in my near future!

In true Sunday fashion, I took a nice nap when I got home.  Then went for a ~4 mile run.  I think I could have gone longer.  It was such a nice night and my legs were feeling strong.

That was a nice surprise, as I’ll be adding miles to my runs in preparation for the 10K Gobble Jog with my baby sis on Thanksgiving.

This morning’s Whittle My Middle:

  • Front plank: 90 secs
  • Side plank:  60 secs each side
  • Torso twists: 50 reps
  • Plank ups: 14 reps
  • Boat pose: 25 reps
  • Bicycle: 4 sets of 30 reps
  • Side plank w/ twists:  15 reps each side
  • Double crunches: 30*

*I just added this one in today.  These are great for working the whole core, crunching your upper and lower half together.

I’m headed out the the airport to pickup a co-worker on the way to our team retreat.

In other news, I am turning into my mother.  I washed the sheets before leaving town so that I will come home to clean sheets.  Is anyone else this crazy?!
