Check out newest piece of furniture! 
Our “new” table was once owned by Mal’s parents many, many, many years ago. It’s been in storage for ages, but now it’s ours to keep– at least for a little awhile. 
I love the “rustic” look of this table. It has random paint spots and coffee ring stains all over, which gives it tons of character.
It also fits perfectly in our dining room!
Dinner
For dinner tonight, I tried to another gardein product: Tuscan Breasts. They’re so quick and easy to make, why not, right? I have places to be tonight!
I also liked this product, but I liked the Bbq Pulled Shreds a lot more– they just seemed so much like the real thing. I could tell that the Tuscan Breasts were a meat-free product, ya know?
I chopped up one of the Tuscan Breasts and added it to a big salad for dinner tonight.
Delicious meal.
For “dessert,” I ate a couple of Sandwich Thins with peanut butter and raisins on top. I also ate a vanilla Chobani yogurt with Uncle Sam cereal and sliced banana as an afternoon snack, but I guess my camera ate that photo? 
I’m off to meet friends for some celebratory birthday drinks. See ya!

WHat a beautiful table! Love it and does look great in your new apartment.
Have fun tonight!
I love the table! I’ve always wanted a table like that…some day…enjoy
The new table is a perfect background for your salad pictures. It actually reminds me of my family’s dining room table, an old western-style picnic table my great-grandpa made – definitely has character. Have fun with your friends!
I love big wooden tables like that! It looks great in your new dining room!
I love, love LOVE the table! Old wood tables like that are so full of character and charm. It looks perfect in your dining room too.
Great table! When are you going to do a tour of your new place? Or did I somehow miss that?
Furniture with a history is definitely the best kind; it adds instant character to a room
I love things with “imperfections.” It does give them character
I’ve had those Tuscan cutlets before and they weren’t bad! Have fun tonight
That is a great table. Wish I had one like it. Enjoy your evening.
I love the table! Reminds me of the one I used to eat at at home
Hey Tina, kinda random but I was wondering if any of the Healthworks locations have a pool? Thanks!
I love the character. I’m sure Mal has good stories to go with some of those stains.
Enjoy your night out.
The table looks great – it goes with the hardwood floors so well. Have fun tonight!
Aww I love your table! We have one my parents’ old one–but it doesn’t have as much character as yours!! Very nice!
I love this table!
Have so much fun tonight!!! Your new table looks so good in your dining room!!
I love old pieces of furniture that have “character”!!!!!
Love the table! Old furniture is so great.
i love the table! our current place doesn’t have room for our dining room table, so we use it as a desk in the office. it’s HUGE!!!
I love hand-me-down furniture. So much more meaning than a regular ol’ table from the store.
I love old furniture too. It has much more character.
That is one gorgeous table! It looks like it has many interesting stories to tell …
I also really love the paint color in your dining area – lovely space.
I love your “new” table! I think the old antique finds and the pieces with stories behind them are the best. Plus, you can add some fancy tablecloths/plates/etc. and it won’t look stuffy
ok now im obsessed not only with your wood floors, but with your table too!!!
Love the table! It looks so loved.
i love the table!!! its awesome! hand me downs are great.. cheap with tons of character : )
Love the table, my husband and I have his mothers table from years ago. Looks similar to yours, it really does bring so much character to the room!! And lots to talk about when you get everyone around it again! Have fun tonight!
i love that table….i’ve been wanting an awesome table like that for so long! that’s awesome it was free
hope you have a blast getting drinks!
I love furniture that has a lot of character – if nothing else it’s a conversation piece. An old piece of furniture has so many stories behind it
Nice table and also nice that it was free….that was nice of Mal’s parents. I wonder how many more times I can say “nice” in this comment?
Have a fun night!
Yay for the new table!!! Especially awesome that it was free hehe
I love the table! I’m a sucker for wood furniture
Hey Tina, wanted to just comment that it looks like you had a SUPER healthy day! Enjoy your drink (or 2) tonight
I love rustic, old furniture too – especially when it has been owned by family!
CUTE TABLE!!!Love the rustic look, and I love the new place
What an amazing table! Rustic furniture is totally my style!
Oooh, do you have more of the gardein products? I keep waiting to hear what you think of the ones I’ve tried…
That table looks almost EXACTLY like my mum’s dining table, just a shade darker. The rustic touches definetly add to it
Yay for hand-me-downs!! They’r oftne better than new I reckons 
Have a good night!
Love the “new” table. Most of the furniture in our house is antique or vintage and nothing matches anything and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
What an amazing table. It has so much character. This is the sort of table that my boyfriend really wants when we buy a house, a large rustic table with loads of character. Helen x
That table is so beautiful!!! Our dining room table was my parents’ (and my great-grandmother’s before that), and I love having a table that has a history attached to it. Beautiful!
Salad looks yum…as usual….I also love used/antique-ish furniture! That table also looks like real wood! Not some faux wood bought at ikea!
Wow, that really LOOKS like chicken. I did not know they have made that much progress with fake meat. Researchers are already growing real meat in a petri dishes. They are just looking for more funding to go commercial… that would take some time getting used to.
Love the table! Really need to get a wooden one too. Glass is driving me crazy with the fingerprints. haha
I love the table! It has so much character!
Loved the “new” table!

Lovely eats, as always
Have a great Sunday, Tina!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela

I love the look of your rustic table. It looks like one I’d like to have in the log cabin that I want to build someday!
Tina, that table looks great in your dining room. Especially with the dark brick colored walls!
Hope you had a fun night with friends! Enjoy your Sunday!
That table is awesome!! I LOVE new old things
Love the table. Would look great with black chairs I(not that the ones you have aren’t nice).
