Hello Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. The weekdays have this routine of picking the kids up from their sports practices and/or attending field hockey and soccer games. Then we rush home to get everyone fed and make sure homework gets done. I’m looking forward to a three day weekend. Here are five from this week:
- Fall Things – Saturday we went to DuBois Farms for some cider doughnuts. We are trying to sample as many different cider doughnuts as we can this season!
2. Reading – This week I finished The Seven Day Switch by Kelly Harms. I enjoyed this Freaky Friday type story that addresses the still present mommy wars argument.
3. Cooking – My husband made this delicious sandwich for dinner Sunday night and we bought enough ingredients so that we could enjoy it for lunches the next day. It had roasted eggplant, sautéed broccoli rabe, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella and some balsamic vinegar. It was so good!
I also made One Pot Melty Burrata Lemon Pesto Pasta this week but used fresh mozzarella instead of Burrata.
- Watching – My daughter has binge watched the entire season of Squid Games, which has become THE show amongst the teen aged crowd. So I of course had to see what all the hype is about. My husband, son and I ended up watching the first episode and it’s now become our nightly thing. Honestly, I just love that the three of us have this bonding experience.
Other than that my husband and I have been continuing to watch Top Chef Kentucky and Ted Lasso and the new weekly episodes of Only Murders in Building and The Great British Baking Show.
- Eating – Besides cider doughnuts we enjoyed an apple crisp sundae from Tantillo’s Farm.
And we had this apple cider slushie from Hurds Family Farm.
My husband and I also enjoyed a lunch date over the weekend at Raga Indian. I’ve been craving Indian food and haven’t had it in so long! I miss the lunch buffets that all the Indian restaurants near us have stopped because of COVID. I love sampling lots of different dishes since we don’t eat Indian very often. We enjoyed a mixed appetizer and a veggie korma with naan.

You all ate so well this week! Those cider donuts looks delicious as does that apple crisp; I think those are my two favorite fall treats.
