Sweet, indeed

In January, I completed another goal - I ran my first 5k! While I was very excited to have finished under my goal time (43 minutes, thank you very much!) and to not have been the last person across the line, I was also stoked to have won one of the door prizes - gift certificates to Sweet Tomatoes! So, I gathered up a fellow starving college student and we headed out to the local Sweet Tomatoes to stuff ourselves as full as possible - gratis! Whee!

I couldn't believe that I hadn't actually been to ST before, but I was very happy that I finally made it there. As my dining partner and I hit the front door, we were a little disheartened to find that it was pineapple month - normally, this would be great, but a drop of pineapple juice magically turns my poor friend into a blowfish. So, with some caution and a careful eye, we made it down the salad bar line, loading up our plates with as much lettuce, pasta salad, and baby corns as we could. Just about everything was very, very tasty - the only exception being the pineapple jell-o that I tried.... ew. I lost count on how many trips we each made up to the various bars, but suffice it to say, we practically needed a crane to get out of the booth to finally go home.
