Pumpkin (seed) power

Under the influence of the Times piece on The Best 11 Foods You Aren't Eating, I picked up some pumpkin seeds at Ukrops tonight. Beets, cabbage, swiss chard are all on my realfood order coming tomorrow so I was ahead of the curve there. AND I ate fresh blueberries as a snack this morning. For once I'm on top of things, healthwise at least.

I also made my hotel reservations for the NCHC conference in San Antonio in late October. Ahh, 3+ months to mull over the many Texas food possibilities. Is Lockhart on the list? Damn straight! I will be reading up on Homesick Texan's posts in preparation.

In other news, I stopped at the Wine Seller in hopes of getting a fruity beer to go with the outstanding clinatro chili pork lettuce wraps seen below but came away with three bottles of wine (yay) and an Imperial Cherry Saison beer. The beer turned out to be good but it's not the kind of cherry beer I was hoping for, as Andy warned me. If anyone knows where I can get a good lambic or kriek in Williamsburg please let me know in the comments!


P.S. I also got some pink prosecco but blogging about that would have made this post way too alliterative, what with all the pork and pumpkin power.
