I think this is my eight WIAW type thing (counting the WIAS)…and I just realized that I still wasn’t doing it right. Okay, here’s the icon:
And now, thanks Jenn, for hosting the party!
I think I got everything, this time?
Pre-Breakfast: I had to do somethings early in the morning, so I grabbed something quick before settling down to breakfast about an hour later.
Cucumber with the last of my vegetarian pastete (and a little swirl of mustard and sprinkle of pepper)
Breakfast:
Quark, frozen raspberries, slices almonds, Zucchini-Walnut-Prune Murfin
Whole Rye bread with Artisana Pecan Butter (underneath) and Ovomaltine Spread
Tea (I’m more of an under- than an over-steeper)
Snack:
Roasted brussel spouts (thawed frozen brussel sprouts (sliced) with olive oil and spices). I’ve been on a roasting-veggies-in-the-oven kick lately (maybe because winter is approaching quickly) and I have yet to find a veg for which the result wasn’t absolutely delicious!
More tea with honey. And a side of book. 
Frozen Mirabellen – frozen grapes, your days are numbered!
Lunch:
An apple, part of which landed in this
Muesli with buttermilk and flaxseeds
Whole rye bread with quark, wildberry jam (not homemade), and walnuts
Another pecan butter-ovomaltine spread wonder : match made in heaven. 
Chocolate soy ice cream with soy nuts (see a theme?) and 2 crumbled up chocolate creme sandwich cookies…yummers.
Snack:
Two of these…they always help when my stomach starts feeling wonky.
Zwieback to (hopefully) sort out my stomach
(Dinner time) Snack: I still wasn’t feeling top form, come dinner time, so I made myself eat a snack and then I took a nap.
Yogurt with granola, dried fruits, and pumpkin seeds
Dinner: When I woke up (around the same time most people probably go to bed!) I not only felt quite a bit better, but had my appetite back!
A bowl of muesli with buttermilk
A few sundried tomatoes
A slice of whole rye bread with a tasty milk chocolate bar from Aldi
A bunch of salted roasted peanuts
What I Wore Wednesday (WIWW?):
I like different colored long sleeved tees paired with a simple shrunken blazer. And dark jeans, of course. While the tees can really be from anywhere, I think blazers are something worth investing a little money in. You can tell if they’re cheap and they can lose their shape quickly, whereas a high quality blazer holds up well over time.
What pieces are your ‘splurge’ pieces?
Do you prefer light or dark wash jeans?
When do you start thinking about/getting excited for Christmas?
Loving the artisana action
I have to say those butters are DELICIOUS!
As for splurge pieces- for me I splurge on a nice pair of heels/shoes, blazers/coats, and my number one item: purses!
And as for jeans- ALWAYS dark wash; i really don’t like the way light rinse jeans look…though they could work during summer i suppose
But only during summer.
I still need to learn how to walk in heels…
I’ve been on a huge roasted-veggie kick lately, as well! I can’t get enough.
Every time I read your food posts, I end up craving rye bread. You always make it look so delicious!
I ALWAYS prefer dark-wash jeans. Actually, I don’t think I even own any that are light-wash. I usually splurge on jeans, blazers/jackets, and shoes (particularly boots and heels)- the fun stuff!
Rye bread *is* so good!
i used to prefer dark wash jeans but i’ve recently got into light ones and think i prefer them more at the mo – i’ll change my mind again soon though
great eats – what a great selection!
Thank you! Oh, and this is kind of random, but….I think quirky is such a fun word. It makes me smile.
I want those grapes!! I need to start roasting my veggies more, I’ve been on a lazy microwavable veggie kick and it just does not compare to the deliciousness roasting brings out.
I can definitely relate, though. Microwave veggies are faster….but just not as tasty.
Your eats always look SO SO GOOD!!
I love your outfit to!
Thank you!
The zucchini walnut prune muffin looks delicious. I love prunes! Happy WIAW!
Thanks so much for being an <80 year old who likes prunes, too! I was starting to feel a little geriatric.
Good eats in there! I like your top. I prefer the layered look too and it always feels more comfortable. I prefer darker jeans but that’s probably because I prefer darker clothes in general. Happy WIAW!
I love the layered look, too, but I don’t do it as often as I’d like (it takes a little more than the 2 seconds I usually allot to dressing in order to put it together). Since I like clothes, though, and they make me happy, I’m trying to take more time to – layer!
That is an epic looking ice cream!!
your eats are just amazing.. everything looks so delish *drool*
btw, what’s quark? Sorry for the silly qs but I’ve never seen it before
Quark is this amazing dairy product found (as far as I know) only in northwestern Europe. It’s like a thicker, creamier, tarter greek yogurt. Yuuuuummmmm.
Thanks for the comment!
i just found your blog and i really enjoy reading your posts
did you try some of the spreads from alnatura? they have such a wide variety!
i’m from germany and maybe i find some food inspirations, because i can’t get the american stuff most food bloggers show
do you have a favorite whole rye bread and vegetarian pastete?
i love the spreads joghurt-gemüse, tomate-pikant and pfeffrig-scharf from aldi
i don’t know if it’s my pc, but everytime i open your blog firefox starts to freeze…
maybe it’s because there are so many posts to load??
any suggestions what i should do?
I’m not a huge vegetarian pastete fan, actually (I’m not buying it again). That’s probably because I like sweet stuff way better than savory things, though! Aldi is awesome!
And I’ve only tried granovita spreads… I *love* the whole rye from Mestermann (?), it’s what I buy most of the time!
Oh no! That sucks – I guess it’s maybe due to bandwidth (and how many posts show up). I wish I knew how to make fewer posts show per page, but I really don’t! I’m such a techietard.
I’ve never thought of a pre-breakfast before. Except maybe that is what my breakfast really is since I always eat something right when I get up, even if I’m not hungry. And no matter what, I’m always hungry around 8 or 9 am!
I guess everyone calls things different names – some people say they eat six meals, some say they eat 3 meals and 3 snacks. TomAtoe, Tomahtoe.
