Dentist appt. went well. I LOVE my dentist!! It’s all serene in there and soothing. And I’ve never waited more than 60 seconds, unlike my childhood dentist, who often kept us waiting for 2+ hours. I also LOVE getting my gums prodded and poked – it feels so good! I have two teeth on “watch” ( 🙁 ) but no cavities to date. I have pretty good oral care (floss daily, brush 2-3x minimum) but I inherited my mom’s cavity prone teeth. Luckily it seems my diet changes have kept them at bay these last few years (I had too many cavities in college), and my dentist says diet has a huge impact on teeth.
I stopped in to say hello to Matt on my way uptown! He was baking about 20 loaves when I got there and could only pause for a kiss
After a few hours of work, I had to get out of the windowless office for lunch!
On the menu:
A curry salmon + veggie salad.
Made with a carrot, a cob of corn cut off, half a cuc, a can of salmon, 2 tsp olive oil mayo, a few blobs of Dean + Deluca mustard, and a tsp of yellow curry powder.
Served with only the best –
+
Dessert was a red plum – my favorite kind.
Headed back inside for another few hours until I head to the gym!
Dessert #2 –
Later guys!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Ohhh…the new Real Simple magazine is out? I have to pick it up…
Love your lunch today. Especially that plum…it’s *almost* too pretty to eat! 🙂
Have a great rest of your day, Kath!
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
I have the same dentist experience now – it’s so much quicker than what I remember from when I was a kid!
And I too seem to have inhereted cavity prone teeth 🙁 I’m off to get a root canal tomorrow – 2nd one this year!! Such a bummer. But interesting to know diet plays a role!
Glad your check up went well though 🙂 And yay for lunch with RS!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
salmon salad looks awesome! I love the corn mix-in. Have a great afternoon 😉
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
That plum looks like it is packed with antioxidants, yay! And I love Real Simple magazine…I think it’s my favorite.
jess says
That salmon salad looks great! I also love La Croix – yummy. Is that the berry flavor?
I miss my subscription to Real Simple – thanks for the reminder to pick one up! 🙂
rhodeygirl says
i have that same mag sitting in my room asking to be read.
i love my dentist too. each patient has her/his own room with flat screen tv, you never wait long, and they are so nice and caring and GENTLE.
MarathonVal says
That’s so funny that you liked being prodded by the dentist… I hate that feeling! haha.
One of my fave things to do is to spend an hour or two at Barnes and Noble and read Real Simple magazine 🙂
Cynthia (It all changes) says
I love red plums! I like to squeeze them a bit to loosen the pit and make them juicier before biting in.
I also bought the newest Real Simple yesterday and will be reading it throughout the week when I do the elliptical. This is probably the best magazine ever!
Help Meghan Run says
I had a salmon & veggie salad with Kashis for lunch too! 🙂 But mine was make with paprika, not curry. Alas!
leslie says
2 hours at the dentist!? were they trying to torture you? glad your new one is an improvement!
that plum looks so juicy and delicious!
Becci says
Last time I went to the dentist, he told me that I was eating too much fruit (!!!!) and it was going to give me cavities. He flat out told me not to eat more than 1 or 2 small pieces of fruit per day! So much for trying to get healthier!
Vanessa (Last Night's Leftovers) says
Your dentist sounds great! That salmon salad looks awesome 😀
Mrs. Myers (Eat Move Write) says
Mmmm love your lunch salad. I haven’t read that Real Simple yet. Like the cover already!
brandi says
i like going to the dentist, too 🙂 and i used to have a cavity almost every time I went when I was younger! I haven’t had any in a long time.
Nicole says
Your lunch looks really good today, Kath!!
The dentist scares me! The office I go to isn’t the friendliest of places. I need to find a new one.
Erica says
That plum looks awesome Kath! I have very cavity prone teeth as well. Such a pain- I brush/floss as much as I can! Glad you had a good dentist visit.
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
I hate the dentist! Mine is not serene at all. It has window that faces a brick wall 🙁
That lunch salad looks great! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Glad the dentist went well.
What a gorgeous lunch! I love eating outside….makes it so much more fun!
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon!
kristi says
I have a dentist appointment on Friday. You know it’s funny you bring up eating habits and the effects on your teeth. I know that since I started eating better, my mouth is a lot happier… the college years did a number on me too! But, on another note, plums are back in season yay!
Natalie says
You’re so lucky you like going to the dentist! I wish I did.
I love the mini Dove dark chocolates, its satisfies the chocolate craving for only 50 cals 🙂
Amanda (My Summerizations) says
i love my dentist too! they offer massaging hand lotion treatments and individual tv screens over the chairs. and i love real simple too, it’s my favorite magazine!
Jen says
I dont mind the dentist either, I love the fresh clean feeling leaving!! My brother in law is a dentist.. hehe
Yummy lunch!!
Greta Marie Huberty says
Not sure if you have tried it before… but I received a bottle as a gift, and it may have been the best thing that I have ever tasted. Perfect for summer:

Hi Kath, If you are trying to prevent cavities, you should use ACT fluoride mouthwash every day. It doesn’t have alcohol and it helps people who may get cavities from lack of chlorinated water.Hope this helps and enjoy your day!
