Today marks one week since Matt and I committed to getting at least 30 minutes of physical exercise a day. Mostly that's consisted of brisk walking in and around Reston, which we've really enjoyed. This morning we chose, perhaps counterproductively, to combine it with a breakfast date. I got mushroom and cheese crepes and Matt got eggs, a croissant, and bacon. Bellies full, we then walked back home and proceeded to run a couple of errands by car--hitting both the Arlington and Reston libraries, cleaning out my locker at work (hurray), and also hitting up Trader Joe's for the first time. Let us just say we are big fans of that experience! We picked up some frozen fruit, bread, cheese, hot chocolate, and a couple of other things for around $30--not quite Aldi's, but cheaper than some of the other grocery stores around and almost everything was some kind of funky organic house brand. Right up our alley!Our favorite thing by far was a couple of bottles of Gluhwein, or German mulled wine, which we'd been introduced to at the Krista Detor house concert. If anything ever tasted like happy holidays come home to roost, this is it--delicious, warming, and spicy. We heated some up on the stove right away and are planning to spend the rest of the day getting cozy with that and our new library books. This is the way to spend a winter weekend!

I just returned from Trader Joe's. It's one of my favorite places to shop. Try the Cranberry Dunkers...they are absolutely fabulous! Did the mulled wine come from Trader Joe's?
