Suburban Safari

It was a good weekend....I got to have some fun, cook, and go to the beach. On Saturday I hit up some farmers markets. I got some corn, eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes. I made an eggplant bake, which I'm going to taste tonight (pics to come later).

Saturday's lunch was at Max & Erma's, a new place in Wellington. Most of the family got the Erma's special, which was a great deal! For $8.99 you get a cup of soup, a burger, fries, and a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. I couldn't pass it up. The soup was potato cheddar bacon. It was delicious! You could taste all the main ingredients. I'm sure it was calorie laden, but worth it. Hey...I walked around the zoo later so I probably burned a portion of it off? haha.

The burger was very tasty, with the right amount of blue cheese. It was a tad overcooked but still had good flavor. Most of the fries were crisp and well seasoned. A couple soggy ones snuck in, but that happens. The cookie was really good, gooey in the middle, just the way I like it. I devoured it so quickly I forgot to take a picture. The service was decent, but was slow towards the end of the meal. I would go back to Max & Erma's for sure.

We went to Lion Country Safari after lunch. It's been at least 10 years since I've gone. It was fun! The best part was the drive through at the beginning. It takes about an hour. We saw rhinos, giraffes, and zebras walk right in front of our car! That night I relaxed...caught part of the NFL Draft (wished Harvin could've stayed in Florida)...and watched a really weird movie called Synecdoche, NY.

My Sunday consisted of going to the beach, cooking for the week, and working on some Beachbody stuff. I had an early dinner at Smith & Jones, and am lucky enough to have some leftovers today for lunch. I didn't really exercise this weekend...but that's okay! I'm back on the wagon today...the health nut has returned.
