Hey everyone! (laughing right now - see #3 below). Thursdays are my favorite day in Peace Love & Oats world because Thursday Thoughts is my giant brain dump and opportunity to share all random thoughts of mine with you all. I start putting together my Thursday Thoughts posts as early as Thursday afternoons the week before. I love it. However, honestly, some weeks I do it that morning! Depends on how active my brain is 1.
Kelsey (my favorite person in the whole world) gave me a little jar of Coconut Butter this weekend after I told her I'd never tried it. I am in love. And now I have a collection of wonderful gifts from Kelsey.
2. Um WHAT!? It was 59 degrees at 6:15 am on Tuesday here in Chicago. Talk about unseasonably warm! So weird. But don't you worry, today the high is around 19 with wind chills tonight as low as -15. All is right in the world again.
3. I have something that I struggle with every single day. Greetings on my blog post. Seriously. I usually start off with hey everyone or Happy _____ (whatever-day) but I'm starting to feel like a broken record. #firstworldproblems I'm thinking for the next week I'll start with salutations from various languages and countries. Salut! 4. You all know I love me some Kind Bars, but this was first time I'd gotten a chance to try Peanut Butter & Strawberry, and it did not disappoint. SO GOOD!
5. Today is the LAST DAY that you can use the code GIRLTIME to get 20% any

6. Yesterday I decided to try out a new lunch place near my school when I needed to grab a quick bite,
Sataza. The concept is basically an Indian version of Chipotle, kind of like
I Dream of Falafel, which is an AMAZING Mediterranean version.
I have to say, however, that I wasn't a fan. I don't like giving bad reviews, but I wouldn't go back and wouldn't suggest anyone else go either. I ordered the Chicken Tikka salad with Raita sauce and asked for carrots and tomatoes on top. They were a little sparse with the toppings and it just didn't taste great overall.
When I saw how little my salad was going to be I made a quick decision at the check out and ordered the masala potatoes (I was huuuuungry). I assumed they'd be like home fries but they were just french fries. Not bad, just a little greasy. The mango sauce on the side was good though.
Disappointing At least now I know. 7. I have spelled disappoint/disappointing wrong several times in just this post. I keep trying to write dissapoint shameful. 8. Today is the LAST DAY you can fill out my
Peace Love & Oats survey, so get to it! I am LOVING reading all the results and will share them with you tomorrow. Well, not totally loving since apparently so many of you aren't a fan of book reviews : 9. I think I've mentioned this before, but I get an email every morning now called
The Skimm and it basically gives you the low-down on all relevant news that day. So basically if you're like me and don't have a TV and don't read about the news, then you don't feel like an idiot when head into work/school and have no idea what's going on
What was a restaurant that you've been disappointed with recently? (spelled it wrong again ) Have you ever tried coconut butter? Are you a fan? What's your favorite nut butter?
