Do what? Go grocery shopping on a Friday night, after a hot date at Moe’s and stop at a Joann Fabrics.
Lunch today was leftovers – leftover “kitchen sink” soup from last night with some rosemary bread that I toasted up. Seen on my newest vegan cookbook (eat, drink and be vegan), which I can’t wind to dive into!
I think today was one of those days where the weather completely influenced my mood and energy. Not only had I woken up exhausted, but the cold, drizzly weather didn’t help matters at all! Ross came home to find me dozing on the couch – whoops! It’s been awhile since I’ve fallen asleep unintentionally in the afternoon!
We headed out for a cheap “date night” at our favorite quick and vegan-friendly place: Moe’s! For $8.52 total we got our standards.
I got a “Big Moo” with a tiny bit of rice, black beans, lettuce, salsa, guacamole, black olives and cilantro. Eaten with tortilla chips and an un-pictured unsweetened iced tea with lemon.
We picked up a movie (Julie & Julia – I wanted to see it again, with my love of food, blogging, Amy Adams and Meryl Streep) for $1. Voila! Homebody date night for under $10. It’s how we roll.
Time to go finish some house clean up before the movie. Have a great weekend!


Sounds like a good date to me!
I love movie nights! I can’t wait to read your thoughts on Eat, Drink and Be Vegan — I wanted to buy that book this past weekend but the store was out. I heard it is a great cookbook.
well done…
I am interested in your thoughts in that book too… I checked it out the other day but didn’t buy it!
My hubby and I love to pick up vegan sushi and sneak it into a movie!
Okay, I admit- the title made me click over
Haha, grocery shopping on a Friday night is DEF something we would do. Does that makes us cool like you guys?
Sounds like one of our date nights.
Have a good night!
Very great cheap date!
Yeah….CostCo is the HIGHLIGHT of our weekends these days!!! I offer to go during the week when I’m off and get it done without the crowds but my hubs wants to go..I think he just likes the samples LOL!

They don’t offer Moos anymore down here. They changed all their sizing. You’re lucky you can still get the moo
And Moe’s mondays is like, one of our favorite things ever.
Haha, sounds like a great friday night
That bread looks amazing, too!
I’ll be in G-ville next week if you want to try to meet up
I have looong weekends this semester, so I’m planning on getting in on Thursday and leaving Monday.
My hubby and I used to do that same thing every Friday night! It’s the best time to hit the grocery, so much less crowded then. But he kept buying “bad” stuff so now I go alone on Saturday mornings, ha ha. Hope you enjoyed the movie again, I need to buy it!
My husband and I watched Julie & Julia last night too – I didn’t think he would like it (if it hasn’t been nominated for “Best Picture” he’s not interested – snore) but he was totally into the Julia Childs storyline.
I like your Friday night!
Gah, I miss Moe’s…all of the ones in Mississippi CLOSED! The Moo Moo was one of my faves.
And the weather has definitely been affecting my mood too lately. I need some sunshine in my life!
