^^ There are lots of those out today!!! Anyone else still humming SOM after yesterday’s Oprah!? The temps dropped significantly overnight and I think today is actually the quintessential fall day.
I lost my morning in yoga. It was a great class – but it was long and left me a bit drained! Normally I find exercise energizing, but I think I almost fell asleep during our 8-minute savasana! Good thing this lunch left me energized, because I have a lot of work to get done this afternoon.
I made a big salad out of garden greens and basil, dressed in a drizzle of olive oil and honey, topped with leftover chicken and POM ARILS! It’s been way too long since there was a POM in this house!
And on the side, a cup of leftover sweet potato soup with roasted veggies mixed in and a few almonds on top.
What’s your favorite note? Mine is LA, a note to follow So!!
You….cannnn…singgg most annnn-yyyy-thing!!!
Jessie says
TI, a drink with jaaam and breaaaaaaaaad!
Love the Pom on the salad!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Hahaha I had that episode marked on my calendar for WEEKS and then I had to tend to something. I caught it this morning on youtube though. DO a deer a female deer!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I dug into my first pom yesterday. SO good!
Christin L. says

Christine says
Isn’t everyone’s favorite MI?

Carolyn @ lovinlosing says
We had the windows open b/c of how warm it was the past few days and I forgot to close them last night. Whew! I was FREEZING when I got up this morning!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I missed that episode and am sad that I did! Lunch looks perfect for re-energizing!
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
I didn’t watch Oprah and I had no idea what SOM meant until I got to the comments 🙂
“Ti : a drink with Jan and Fred!” <— that is what my dad used to say the real words were!
kate says
I cant wait to get my hands on my first POM of the season soon!
Katie says
Got to love the POM!!! Was just wondering if any of you out there have been plauged by the “Dog that wants to adopt you dilema” while you have been running? This happened to me today, and has happened before: You make eye contact with a freely roaming dog…it starts to follow you…you make the mistake of petting it….you try for about 45 mins. to get it to stay, go home, or find something that might distract it, etc. Today a little balck chiuaua was following me. I could not get the dog to stay or go home, so I tried to distract it with a terrible way….a roadkill rabbit (yuck!). This little dog started to drag the rabbit down the road with us?! Luckily my vet is not far from where we were, they knew the dog, and I went on my way…..so much for a peaceful, drama-free day off work, ha!
Camille says
Haha, that song has been stuck in my head for the past hour for no good reason 🙂
Gwen says
T – a drink with jam and bread!!!
That episode was delightful! I actually teared up a bit!
Meaghen says
Ti a drink with jam and bread. Because jam and bread are sooooo good together. Now I think that song will be stuck in my head too all day! My nieces love that movie!
Tricia @ Saving Room for Dessert says
“DO” – DO a deer, a female deer, ray a drop of golden sun! I’m going to show my age and tell you that Sound of Music was the very first movie I ever saw in my whole life. My parents took me when I was a little girl and remember being afraid during the scene in the graveyard. Not because of the graveyard but because of the suspense! Great movie, great music, great ending 🙂
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I like Ti….a drink with jam and bread 🙂 That sweet potato soup looks so thick and comforting!!
Christie {Honoring Health} says
Do, a deer, a female deer…
I love that song. I remember singing it in 8th grade chorus!
krissy says
I LOVED that Oprah. I went to delete it off the DVR this morning and couldn’t do it yet. I want to watch it again…with tea and a scone.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love how the sun is so bright right now! With the cooler temps its so beautiful!
Balanced Healthy Life says
I love Poms and it sounded like you had a great yoga class this morning! I don’t know if I could lay in savasana for 8 minutes, I usually get antsy if its longer than 5 minutes!
Joanne says
Have you ever tried Forrest yoga? If not, I have a super 5 day intensive course that I’m giving away on my site. Make sure to check it out. It’s not easy but def. rewarding.
Kath says
I don’t think I have yet!
Claire (Low Impact Fashionista) says
Yum lovely lunch, I can’t remember the last time I had pomegranate!
Megan says
How do you eat a Pom? Do you have to cook the seeds first?
Thanks.
Megan
Kath says

OMG. I NEVER watch Oprah, but I made sure to watch it last night (they re-play it at 9pm here) just for The Sound of Music my FAVORITE musical ever.
I like Ray! A drop of golden sun!
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf says
I don’t have any particular favorite solfege note in the major scale, but I go weak at the knees when I hear minor chords. Therefore, I love just about everything on the minor scale.
I’m sorry, my nerd is showing.
