(More Than) More Than Waffles

On Friday, "The Ukrainian" told me to come over to his area a little early the next morning because he said he was conjuring up some plans. So after the work and gym on Friday, I quickly did laundry and other stuff piling up in order to go to bed, run the next morning, eat breakfast with the parents, watch a World Cup game, take a shower, and make that 35-mile drive.

We went to More Than Waffles in Encino, CA. Here are some pics from my second breakfast:


Above: The front. There were tons of people waiting, but the wait was only 15-20 minutes. The best part about this place was its FAST and friendly service!


Above: Here's what I ordered -- a Mediterranean omelet: 3 eggs, feta and mozzarella with onion and tomato. I don't like bell peppers of any kind, so tomato in an omelet is the next best thing. For those of you who haven't read my blog in a while, I've been eating cheese again.


Above: "The Ukrainian"'s lox benedict. Yeah, I've never seen one before, either!


Above: I couldn't go to a place like this without getting a waffle! This came with the omelet. They said the waffle was 140 calories, but I was overstuffed after 70 of those calories... "The Ukrainian" had a bacon/cheddar waffle.

After eating more than I should have, we went to the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

We walked around the museum so much, that my legs were bone tired! Plus, we ended up walking back down to the parking (at least downhill this time). I guess it was worth it, as there was a Leonardo da Vinci (one of my favorite people ever) exhibit, and it was a nice day weather-wise. Plus, I got to walk my second breakfast off!

On another note, today is Father's Day. There is something great to be said for all the dads in the world who stick around for their children, including my own Daddy... so Happy Father's Day to all you dads and would-be dads!

    Too bad I live so far from the valley. The breakfasts look delicious! My favorite meal of the day!

Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

StyleScience Airfoil Sunglasses

Much too long after the death of my last pair of sunglasses, I managed to get my hands on another pair. This one comes from CVS/pharmacy. I figured that since a more expensive pair blew out on me, why not a drugstore one? So after going to speciality stores, I came upon this one that looks and feels good... StyleScience's Airfoil. I didn't notice until later that this is meant for men, but my large head circumference called for it, I think. Anyway, I like that the sides have some ventilation (via a large triangular hole). I hope not to break this one...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat
