food and rest


Andy and I had a few fabulous days in Asheville with the doggies. It was just what the doctor ordered. Got to spend time with Andy, eat the best food, browse some lovely shops, and REST. Do nothing. I even watched American Idol!

We visited some old faves and new places for me:
Malaprops....and yes I bought another book
Early Girl
Chelseas Tea Room
Woolworth Walk
Barleys Taproom....where we watched the NCAA championship game....with loads of NC fans.
Rise and Shine Cafe

See the theme? Lots of food!

The coolest thing I did was have an ayurveda consult at Blue Lotus with Vishnu Dass. It was so great. I felt very empowered walking away with my very own recipes, concoction of mixed herbs, and an ayurvedic spice cooking kit.

Glad I did all that eating in Asheville. Starting Monday, I'm going on a two week sugar FREE diet. No sugar....of any kind. I'm stating it here cause I know that you all will hold me accountable. Or I'll hold me accountable just cause you know. ;) I was planning to do a spring detox after getting back, but after learning more about my needs and my dosha, seems this would be the very best thing for a sugar cravin' gal like myself. I'll keep you posted on how it's going! Wish me luck...

Andy's parents and brother came into town last night. I'm going to continue to play....we've got a trip to Cincy for today and Keeneland for tomorrow. I was in bed when they got here last night, but I saw several baskets on the table. Better get to eating some chocolate before Monday!

Have a beautiful weekend!!

Hey Sharon! I went to Asheville too, last weekend! (April 17-19) LOVED it!!! I went to Malaprops too and couldn't resist buying a book... oh have you been to The Laughing Seed Cafe? My favorite was Zambras - a Spanish restaurant and tapas bar on Walnut St. Like you I had LOTS of good food!
