A Day of Delicious Discoveries and Cider Fun at the Cider Olympics

Starting the weekend with simple pleasures can make all the difference. On Saturday, a day filled with tasty bites and a lively local event brought a refreshing mix of flavors and fun. From a protein-packed breakfast to a unique cider competition, the day offered moments worth savoring.

Morning Fuel: A Protein-Packed Start

The day began with a straightforward breakfast: a couple of scrambled eggs paired with a Starbucks protein box. Although the hard-boiled eggs were left untouched, the rest of the box provided a satisfying mix of nutrients. To complement the meal, a grande cold brew with sweet vanilla cream added a smooth, slightly sweet caffeine boost, clocking in at 110 calories. This combination offered a balanced start, blending protein and caffeine to keep energy steady through the morning.

Midday Treats and Homemade Delights

Dinner was a highlight with three small mini egg rolls from VT Thai Eggrolls in Aberdeen, WA. These homemade egg rolls stood out for their authentic flavor and satisfying crunch. Their size made them perfect for a light yet flavorful meal, showcasing how local culinary gems can elevate everyday dining.

An Afternoon at the Cider Olympics

The afternoon brought a change of pace with a visit to Snowbird Farm and Cidery for the Cider Olympics. This event, though quieter than usual, still attracted a handful of customers eager to enjoy the cider tasting and festivities. The relaxed atmosphere allowed for a more personal experience, and two gallon-sized zip lock bags of cider were frozen for personal use, ensuring the enjoyment could continue beyond the event.

Practical Errands and Restful Evening

Aside from food and fun, the day included practical errands. Clothes shopping and picking up dish soap were on the list, balancing enjoyment with everyday needs. The day wrapped up early, with a peaceful 10 pm bedtime alongside Mom, marking the end of a good day filled with simple joys and meaningful moments.
