Would you believe it if I told you I had never heard “Cheeseburger in Paradise” by Jimmy Buffet until I was 22 years old? Considering my growing up in Texas and college years at Texas Tech it’s pretty weird that I never had! At least I came to light at some point in my lifetime, right Nate? 🙂
Yesterday I had my first smoothie in a bowl (SIAB) ever! I wasn’t sure my blender could handle it, but she was a trooper! I topped it with some amazing cereal that we’ll be talking about soon 🙂
Lunch was the last of the leftover Spicy Chicken Sausage, Zucchini, and Eggplant bake:
HEAVEN.
My walk/jog went well today…super hot, but I really tried to focus on how my feet were hitting the ground as well as keeping my abs pulled in tight. It was hard, but I finished the whole hour! The hard workout left me craving a big JUICY hamburger though…
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and French-fried potatoes
A big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY which way do I steer?!?!
Fine, mine only had grilled onions, tomatoes, dijon, and ketchup. Whatever…it’s all in the spirit of the song anyway 😉 A side of sweet potato fries:
And classic grilled corn:
My night was made! You know, sometimes you just have to have a gosh darn hamburger…and last night was that night! I was so happy with the way Nate seasoned the burgers and the sides were perfection. Jimmy Buffet ain’t got nothin’ on my burger 🙂
MARRIAGE REF FRIDAY
Mmmmmmmk. So here’s the deal. I do not get motion sickness. Neither does Nate. But I HAVE TO have air moving in the car at all times or else I feel like I will spontaneously combust…and yes, that applies to snowy cold winter days as well.
HOWEVER, my dear sweet husband will drive in the car on 90+ degree days with the windows rolled up and NO AIR MOVING. How he does not spontaneously combust is beyond me.
So guys, what’s it going to be? Air moving or no air moving? Windows up, windows down? Just remember…I’m counting on y’all 😉
Sometimes during lunch I have to go out to the car so that I can sit in the hot air with the windows rolled up, because I can’t take another moment in the air conditioning. I will open the windows in the house any chance I get… I prefer to stay warmer than 80 degrees!
Wow! Great pics, great blog! That burger and sweet tater fries and corn on the cob…..*SLURP*
I am the biggest freak about having air moving ALL the time. I hate stillness and not having air does make me sick because I do get motion sickness. So windows rolled up with air. Yes, I might be a bit high maintenance at times. 🙂
Ok. I’m in love with your photos. That burger is gorgeous. This is my first time checking out your blog (even though I’ve seen your comments EVERYWHERE) and I officially am in love.
hahaha Im always on your side in marriage ref!!
THOSE BURGERS LOOK BALLER!! I love me some jimmy buffet!! happy weekend heather boo!
First of all, Jimmy Buffet has been my most seen concert…he is awesome! I’m from FL…need I say more?
Second…those hamburgs look awesome!
Third…I am a window up (mostly). I have to clarify….if I am done with work or coming out of a really cold, cold building, I will drive about 20min with all windows up in the 90degree heat just to thaw out. My husband doesn’t understand it either Heather, so you are not alone.
But after a workout, I like to ride in the 90degree weather with the windows down to cool down. Other than that, I don’t like the AC running very much cuz it gets too cold, so in the morning on the way to work, I am windows up and no air moving.
Sorry Heather!
Hahaa your last paragraph made me laugh because I am the same way.. I have to have the A/C or heat blasting.. and if it’s too warm in the winter, I crack the windows too! Driving in dead air, 90* out.. no way no how could I ever do that!!!
Windows up! The wind will mess up my hair. 🙂
Love SIAB, it’s kind of like a frozen yogurt sort of breakfast. Except not really frozen. Unless you put too many ice cubes in. Iamnotguiltyofthat.
Your SIAB looks amazing, especially for your first ever! I need to try that. And crinkly sweet potato fries?! yummmm 🙂
I like windows up, but I too need air moving — AC or just a light fan works good too. I can’t have it blow right on my face though or my contacts get dry and feel like they are about to pop out of my eyes!
i was soo craving a cheeseburger today but i didnt have a roll! 🙁
AIR MOVING!!!!
I love Jimmy Buffet! His concerts are the best!
cute song, air c or windows either way, i’m happy
I get terrible motion sickness as I get older and I have to have some air flow! Thankfully, my fiance is all about the A/C or windows down if the weather is right. 🙂
Air moving. Compromise by only having your window open? Or maybe a back one?
The burger looks great!! My husband always has to have air moving. He HATES being hot.
I’m with Naturally Single Mom. I have to have the A/C on, but I hate when it blows right on me. My husband gets so annoyed on road trips, because I adjust the vents every two seconds!
Air moving! It can either be the air conditioning or the windows down, but there has to be circulation. My husband is just like Nate. He will drive around for hours in the Texas summer with no air on. I DIE!
Considering I leave in Louisiana, the king of heat and humidity, I’m all about the air conditioner being on or the windows being down. I’d suffocate if not!
ok what is heinz 57?? i noticed at the grocery store awhile back but i’ve never used it/seen it before! and now i totally want a burger!
i can handle no air moving for awhile in the car but hubby hatesss it. 🙂
Those sweet potato fries look heavenly!
If no air is making you physically ill, then you need to turn on the vents. Perhaps you can close his off or get him an old man sweater 🙂
Sweet potato fries are one thing, crinkle?! I must find those immediately.
I have frequented Margaritaville one too many times on spring break many years ago, lol.
And just as you wouldn’t leave a small child or dog in the car with no windows down, neither should two humans have to suffer. Is he saving the air? Lol.
Air moving for sure! Who likes stale, stagnant, and hot air while driving? Besides your husband, that is. 🙂 Lol.
Also, I love that Jimmy Buffet song. It captures the spirit of summer BBQs perfectly!
I can’t believe you hadn’t heard that song!! The is crazy!!
Although I find I typically side with Nate on most things, I’m with you on this one. I have to have airflow.
I HAVE to have air moving in the car at all times. Temperature doesn’t matter, just must have air!
Air moving. I don’t care if the windows are up or down, but there must be airflow.
That said, I don’t like it when the airflow “touches” me. I have all of my vents pointed upward, so I can’t actually FEEL the airflow, but I know it’s there.
Now, must go get crinkle cutter, because I feel like sweet potato fries probably taste better than they already do when they are crinkle cut…they certainly look better that way.
Mmm, nothin’ wrong with SP fries instead of the “real” ones – those look just as tasty!
I never heard Jimmy B ’til college either – don’t feel bad 😉
Windows up with air conditioning on. That’s how I like it. My husband could do windows down no matter how hot it is… I just say yeah there is a breeze but it’s a hot breeze! I have to have the air conditioning to actually keep me from sweating.
Okay, that is seriously amazing– especially getting through college in Texas without hearing it!!! How does that happen?! My sister went to TCU, and I feel like every time I went to visit her, I heard that song no less than 20 times. 🙂
Air moving at all times please. I don´t think I remember being in the car with it off. 🙂
well back when I was younger I’d say have the air on all the time….but recently even though dallas is ridiculously hot, I enjoy no air and just the windows rolled down…..idk, i think i’m just used to the crazy hot weather now since all I do is play outside in it.
Biggest pet peeve EVER. I hate when air is not moving. I hate to be hot. Many times when I leave the house on the wknd, my husband will open all the windows and turn off the air, even when it’s 90 degrees. It drives me mad.
Love that song! Puts me in a beachy mood.
And certainly air moving. I don’t HAVE to have it at all times, but I much prefer it. If I get cold I just turn the temp up a bit.
