Around the Fan
Normally for “What I Ate Wednesday”, I show you a snap shot of what I ate the day before, but I thought it would be fun to show you some weekend eats, since they were a little more out of the ordinary.
So this is what I ate around the Fan!
*For those of you non-richmonders, “The Fan” is a neighbodhood, near downtown Richmond, shaped like a fan.
Breakfast
I started the morning off with a classic banana smoothie (banana, protein powder, almond milk, ice, stevia, peanut butter, granola) while I read the paper and sipped coffee. Yes, I’m an old man.
And yes, that’s Samoa granola on top!
Lunch
Sarah, Lindsay, Adrienne and I wandered around the Vegetarian festival, trying samples and such.
I loved this kale! They were giving away coupons for the Tahini dressing, so I’ve already picked up a bottle of it. It’s delicious, low calorie, and vegan!
Dinner
In honor of Eric’s departure of Richmond, we had a big bar crawl on Saturday night. To ensure our stomach safety, Eric and I had dinner on the patio before hand, at F.W. Sullivan’s. I’d never actually gotten food there, so I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this hummus wrap. I mean, I feel like it’s kind of hard to mess up a hummus wrap… but still. It was good!
This kept me nice and full while we crawled to 3 Monkeys, Starlite, New York Deli, and Babes. Is it embarrassing that my legs were sore the next day, from all the dancing? Maybe. Did I count that as my workout for the day? Yes.
We all wore stickers that said “Ay Dios Mio” and had Eric’s face on them, with a twitter hashtag.
Because that’s what real friends do. They wear stickers of their friends faces, to clearly indicate that there is a major celebration going on.
Eric and I leave for Dallas on Saturday! I can’t wait for a 20-some hour road trip!
definitely 🙂 dancing is a major workout! those fries look heavenly
Everything looks delicious. Especially lunch and the wrap! Yes, Dancing is exercise. I think it’s unanimous 🙂

The kale looks yummy! I’ve actually never had tahini before, except in hummus, but now I think I’ll be trying to track down a tahini dressing!
Dancing is TOTALLY a workout! I just had kale with tahini dressing today and it was soooo yummy! your pics are great and I want those fries!!!
Dancing is definitely exercise and so much fun!
Dancing is most definitely exercise!
That looks (and sounds) fantastic!
Fun weekend! I was just in Richmond a few weeks ago for a special Zumba Master class. Richmond’s downtown is so cool! We are at a great local place for brunch. I can’t remember the name– Urban Farm or something like that? Anyway, loved your pics from the weekend!
Ohh Urban Farmhouse? That places is so cute!! Next time you’re in Richmond, we should meet up!! 🙂
Dancing on the weekend? Yes. It’s a workout. I like to think it cancels out at least ONE of my vodka sodas… 😉
Ah. I love the Fan. 🙂 I wasn’t able to hit the Veggie Festival (le sigh) but glad to hear it was great! (And yes. Dancing most definitely counts. Definitely.)
Dancing should absolutely count as a workout – and Samoa granola? Yes please!!!
