what i ate wednesday: drive me to drinkin’
Blogs are funny animals.
You start off all innocent like. You set up an easy-to-create free account on some blogging website and within just a few minutes you are off to the races rambling about kittens or baseball or whatever your bag is. And then, one day, you realize the free route just isn’t going to cut it anymore. You want pretty layouts and freedom and monetization. So you decide to become self-hosted. And then shit gets real. What suddenly took just a few hours to administer every week is now full of an insane amount of acronyms (PHP, DNS, CSS, HTML, SOL, FUBAR, MF). And suddenly, this thing that started so you could uh…write…now requires an obscene amount of knowledge about other non-writing topics just so you can do said writing.
It’s kinda like going to the hospital to volunteer to clean the bed pans and then finding yourself doing brain surgery and having no freaking idea what you are doing.
This is me raging.
Anyway, as you can probably guess, my yesterday evening was full of me going full on rage blackout with customer service reps. Which didn’t get me anywhere. So, sorry if you are on one of the ISPs that currently can’t seem to load BTHR (which probably means you can’t read this apology anyway). Our home computer can’t connect either. Anyway, onto yesterday’s eat, because that’s why you came isn’t it?
Lunch was leftover chicken pot pie (recipe coming this week, SO good), some Chobani, an apple and a square of chocolate.
For an afternoon snack, I had some grapes and some cheddar. I came to the realization today that I don’t think I like grapes. Unless they are perfectly ripe and crisp. Mushy grapes are the worst.
My after-school snack was a big glass of apple cider and what I’ve been lovingly calling “brain cookies”. Caramel applesauce cookies. But they look like brains. Perfect for Halloween!
Dinner was some roasted broccoli plus a few small fillets of Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia. This recipe was incredibly good! Babyface said it was so good that it “didn’t even taste like fish” Which I guess is a compliment? Considering he scarfed it down, I’d say so.
And then the problems started happening. And I started drinking.
And eating chocolate.
After being talked off the ledge by a web guru/friend from high school (thanks, Joe!) I decided to employ the “wait and see” approach to my web problems. As of this morning, things are still touch and go, but here’s hoping it resolves itself soon.
Thanks for bearing with me while I tumble aimlessly through this world of internet-y things.
What was the best thing you ate yesterday?
Tie. Between the overnight oats and the tilapia. Yum!

I’m able to see this post at work! Sorry about your blog woes last night. Those problems are the worst!
Totally the worst. Still happening, but my host has at least figured out the cause now. Which is good!
I can see the blog posts, but it takes a while to load here at work. I see you have the black cherry Chobani. I just finished eating some. I don’t care normally for black cherry flavored stuff, but I love it in this yogurt. The best thing I ate yesterday was probably a Honeycrisp Apple oh and some chocolate dipped Peeps…so bad for me but oh so good..lol
I’m working on the load-time issue, too! Soon it should be a lot better.
And I really liked the black cherry Chobani! But nothing will ever top the pineapple in my book. 
Ugh. Internet issues are he worst. It takes me hours to figure out something that should take 10 minutes.
Hmmm best thing I ate yesterday was probably a warm wrap with bananas, peanut butter, and honey. So good.
YUM! That sounds amazing. Warm honey is one of the best things ever.
Lol, I know how that feel about website/blog stuff that I don’t get. That’s when I go on google all day and give up. Ha. Definitely can’t wait for your chicken pot pie recipes. And btw, don’t think I’ve ever run across black cherry flavor Chobani yogurt! That looks great! I need to look that up!
The pot pie recipe is up!
And the black cherry is very, very good. But nothing tops my true yogurt love: Pineapple Chobani. YUM!
I’ve never tried chocolate overight oats, but it looks tasty! Happy WIAW!
Super yum! I just mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder. I think it tastes like chocolate pudding.
I have been following your blog for some time now, but have yet to comment. Oh. My. Please tell me you can explain these wonderful looking “Overnight Oats” to me. And sidebar…love your blog, recipes, you, all of it! Cheers!
Mmm! Overnight oats are just oats that are “cooked” by sitting in liquid and yogurt overnight. They are never heated, but you end up with a nice yummy pudding texture in the morning. I wrote a whole post about ‘em here.
Mmm, I cannot wait to try this! Thank you
I’ve never seen mint paired with white chocolate before! Which is AWESOME! cause I love white chocolate
ps. Nutella + banana = best thing ever!
Holy confusing packaging!
It’s regular dark chocolate with “white mint” not white chocolate. Who knows what white mint is? Is it different from regular mint? 
Oh my goodness. I can totally relate. I spent months (and lots of money) getting a money-saving blog up and running two years ago. It was going smoothly and DH deployed so I called Go Daddy and them help me take it down (and save everything)– needing to spend those hours being a mommy to my girls. I was told over and over that EVERYTHING was saved my PC and that there would be no problem starting it back up whenever I was ready. When DH came home, I decided to start it back up. Guess what? Nothing was saved. Nothing. I cried for like two days. Chocolate? Yes, please.
Also – I am also very picky about my grapes. They have to be borderline solid to be delicious to me. I want them to crunch when I bite into them. Dillons (Kroger affiliate) has had THE BEST grapes this week. Perfect. Delicious. Try the black ones. They are usually the firmest.
Oh no! That is so sad. I would be so crushed, too!
I really need to do overnight oats, I do really ones all the time but have yet to do overnight. I am sure I am missing out and seriously nutella…delish!
LOVE overnight oats! They are so creamy and pudding-like.
