Blogger Meet Up 2.0

I feel like the blog experience really comes full circle when a blog friend becomes a real friend and I was lucky enough to make that happen yesterday when I finally met up with Lindsay of Summit Sandwiches.

This meet up was long overdue considering we both live in Boulder and have been reading each other’s blogs for probably close to a year.  Oh and did I mention we both ran the Denver Rock’n’Roll?  (Except Lindsay is hardcore and did the full marathon :))

Seriously, what were we waiting for?

Apparently we were waiting for the perfect work out to enjoy together.

Soul Sweat is a dance-type workout class set to music and I certainly set my inner dance demon free.  I danced from age 4 up until my senior year of high school and although I’ve definitely had a good number of solo and a few drunken dance parties in the comfort of my own home, this was the first structured(ish) dance class I’ve taken since.

It was fabulous to be in a room full of people letting loose and getting our groove on.  And the teacher, Chantal, was fabulous.  I’m really glad Lindsay introduced me to the class 🙂

And no food blogger meet up is complete without dinner, right?

We headed to Garbanzo.  I later described it to my mom as a Mediterranean version of Chipotle.

I was down, because with a name like that I knew there had to be hummus.  And now you know the true way to my heart.

We both went with the plate option and were guided down the line, making choices on salads, proteins and sauces as we went.  I think we ended up with similar plates.  Great minds think alike?!

On the plate:

• Falafel
• Greens
• Cabbage
• Pickled eggplant
• Vegetable salad
• Tabuleh (that’s how they spelled it at least)
• HUMMUS
• Cilantro tahini
• Lemon vinaigrette
• Red chili (which was too spicy for me because I’m a spice baby)

Whole wheat pita on the side.

Blogger in action 🙂

Overall, my second ever blogger meet up was just great!  From the class, to the food, to the company.  Lindsay was just as funny, sweet and down to Earth as she seems on her blog and I’m so glad we finally met.

Let’s hope there’s some Boulder blogger hiking in our future!

Have you ever had a blogger meet up?  This was my second, read about my first here!

How do you feel about hummus?  If you don’t like it, I don’t think we can be friends.  Just kidding… kind of.

What have you been up to this weekend?  I’ve been working, reading, eating, Farmers’ Marketing and almost winning the last ever night of trivia (it’s being cancelled, eek!).

Happy Sunday!
