Somehow I had forgotten how great it can be... PJO and I were looking for a lunch break from packing today and all I really wanted was a good salad. Unfortunately, the options for getting a good/substantial/healthy salad are few and far between near us. (One thing I'll admit NYC was better at ... those deli shops are everywhere and usually amazing!)
Anyway, there is a Soup Plantation pretty close by, and it was even better than I remembered: For $7.99 a person, you get the all you can eat buffet, with about 50 things to put in your salad, a soup bar, pasta, bread, tea/coffee, soda and dessert. It was comical at the end of the salad line when I couldn't pile anything else on my plate, but I also couldn't leave behind any of those amazing vegetables, so my tray quickly was covered in salad paraphernalia. I left completely stuff and satisfied, but not sick! Amazing.
This may sound crazy now, and I may totally renounce this in a week, but I'm excited to get back to a normal routine... to buy groceries and cook them, to shop at the farmer's market and actually eat what I buy, to not eat out for 3 meals a day, every day, and when I do eat out, to sometimes eat at cheap, casual restaurants.
It won't be too long: this is my last week of work coming up, and we're moving next weekend, yet somehow I still have two firm dinners next week. Unfortunately, this routine I will be getting back to involves school, and I am still SO NOT excited for that.

Thanks for the comment and congrats on the pregnancy! How far along are you?
I completely know what you mean about finding a great salad. Good salad bars are hard to find! But when you find them, it's like gold! Good luck on the move- a lot of people seem to be moving right now.
I'm starting my third year of law school and having a baby too (I'm taking a semester off though). I also have two cats! yay! ok, end of nerdy rant.
