#CatTravels: Quiet Monday with fries

By Catherine Toth Fox • November 22, 2011 • #CatTravels, Food

We’ve been eating a lot.

Duck strudel, gourmet cupcakes, hand-tossed pizzas, cheese curds.

We needed to burn some calories, STAT.

Luckily, it warmed up this morning — reaching the mid-40s — with bright skies. Perfect running weather. So we laced up our shoes — and wore as many layers as possible for a three-mile jog — and headed out the door and to the runner-friendly Lakeshore Path.

It was the only way we could justify eating at Five Guys later.

Here’s what our quiet Monday in Madison looked like:

Right around the graduate student housing is the Lakeshore Path, which runs along Lake Mendota.

    1)did you see any squirrels and think they were mongoose, yet? 2) did you skip-throw a rock across the lake and hit that lovely mallard? 3) if you were a member of the Polar Bears Club….ya woulda went for a swim too! 4) heard anyone say “bubbler” yet? and 5) have the urge to end your sentences in prepositions yet,there…

      1) No, but I thought about mongooses and how much I miss them.
      2) Nope, but Derek did. And he didn’t hit a duck.
      3) No way
      4) Not out loud
      5) You betcha

      Oh, Five Guys is pretty damn delicious! Wish one would open in Hawaii!

    That burger looks great! But I think you and Derek need to run a half marathon to burn off all those calories….over 1000! Yikes!

    But you both look like your in great shape so what’s a few calories here and there. Ok it’s lunch, time for an In-N-Out double-double with a chocolate milkshake.

      I actually only ate half of my burger; Derek ate the other half. So essentially, he ate one and a half burgers! But I ate most of the fries, which, I think , are worse.

    Considering how long you have to wait at Inn&Out for your food, I hope this place was more efficient.

    • Reply Catherine Toth November 22, 2011 at 8:52 pm

      It wasn’t too crowded, so the wait wasn’t long at all. But even at In-N-Out, I don’t mind the wait. It’s worth it!
