A preview of 105

Heyyyyy 😀 Hope you’re all having a wonderful morning!

The pilot and I went to go check out 105degrees yesterday afternoon when I got back from a cardio sesh at the gym. After getting lost in a neighborhood of swanky wanky mansions, we were happy to find it 🙂

I was greeted by a friendly face:

014

Megan! I haven’t seen this girl in way too long!

And yes, that would be Matthew Kenney in the background:D

Matthew gave us a tour of the restaurant:

016

We checked out the shop, which sells a lovely variety of goodies including these kale chips:

012

Water bottles:

015

RAW ICE CREAM!

013

Come here, ice cream… 😀

And we saw the kitchen and the school, which is located next to the restaurant. Classes start on Tuesday!!!

017

Each student has their own workstation with a cutting board, drawers full of their own tools and gadgets, and their own fridge. On the left you can see the wheat grass and sprouting wall. Pretty snazzy, eh??

I also picked up my cheffer outfits:

018

Everyone that we met seemed to be truly friendly and very passionate about what they do. I’m super stoked about the upcoming weeks 😀

After our little tour, the pilot and I hit up Pei Wei (one of my favorites!) for lonchi.

I ordered the kids teriyaki shrimp with brown rice, steamed instead of fried, add vegetables.

They brought me out the adult size, so I munched all of the toppings and half the rice.

026

The best part: (I don’t actually eat the cookie, because well, it tastes like cardboard)

021

Thank you fortune cookie, for making me feel better about my life’s dilemma 😉

We also went to THE MALL which is dangerously close to school. I see some shopping in my future 😀

When we got back to the hotel, I had to try on the cheffer outfit.

029

I know they aren’t supposed to be form-fitting in any way, but the pants are GIANT. I kind of look like a sweet 80’s rapper 🙂

 

Alright guys, I’m off to take the pilot to the airport (wahhhhh!) and then running with Michelle –I just met her yesterday and she’s amazing 😀

See ya soon with the bit of news I told ya about 😉

Have a great day!

Love,

G$

  19. Melissa on September 7, 2009 at 10:34 am

    I loved what you ordered at Pei Wei. I never know what to get there. Their adult sized meals are like two meals and tons of them are loaded with calories! Your meal looked perfect! Thanks!!
    105 looks awesome. Enjoy your experience…it looks like it’s going to be a blast and I cannot wait to follow your journey through it!!

  20. fittingbackin on September 7, 2009 at 11:03 am

  28. Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) on September 7, 2009 at 2:41 pm

    The crispness of everything, the way it is neat, angular, pretty, visually just works for me and I would be sooo inspired cookin in a kitch like that! I am so happy for you, although I wish I was there too 🙂

  29. Low on September 7, 2009 at 2:46 pm

    So glad you’re enjoying OKC. I can’t wait to eat at 105degrees! I don’t know if I ever would have known it existed if it wasn’t for you!!

  30. Bec on September 7, 2009 at 3:13 pm

  31. Emily on September 7, 2009 at 3:20 pm

    105 degrees looks incredible! You’re going to have so much fun there.

    Hey hey..it’s the chef that makes the outfit, right? You rock out in those Hammer pants!

  32. Lara (Thinspired) on September 7, 2009 at 4:50 pm

    You look totally adorable in the chef’s outfit! I love, love that fortune cookie message 🙂 When ordering something like that delicious shrimp teriyaki, it wouldn’t occur to me to order it steamed instead of fried. Such a great tip…thank you!

  33. The Formerly Anonymous Yvette on September 7, 2009 at 7:20 pm

    So freaking cool! Congrats and I think you should negotiate a commission for all the new students you’re inspiring!

  34. GirlonRaw on September 7, 2009 at 7:48 pm

    Lucky you! I am uber jealous right now. You are gonna have the best time. Try and enjoy it all as the month will fly!
