Happy Friday! This afternoon we are headed up to Rochester for the weekend. I’m looking forward to sharing more about this city in upcoming blog posts! This week flew by, like most do. Here are five from this week:
1. Super Bowl – I am not a football fan. However, this year our office had a Super Bowl pool. I bought two boxes and wanted to watch the game to see if I won. Since we don’t have cable, we bought Peacock for the month so we could watch. For dinner we made a bunch of appetizers to eat while we watched the game. The best part was definitely the half time show!
2. Valentine’s Day – We celebrates a very low-key Valentine’s Day. We ordered sushi for dinner and I bought a fruit topped cheesecake for dessert.
2. Reading – I finished Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins. It’s her newest suspense/thriller book. I enjoyed her previous book, The Wife Upstairs, but this one was just an okay read for me.
3. Cooking – This week one of our favorite dinners were these Vegan Tofu Katsu Bowls. They were fairly easy to put together and my daughter helped me make them, which made the time go by even quicker.
4. Watching – Last week my husband and I saw Spider-Man No Way Home on the big screen. LOOK Dine-In Cinemas just opened in Dobbs Ferry and we were invited to the ribbon cutting event. It’s a great theatre where you can enjoy dinner and a show. I’m posting the full write up on the blog next week.
I also watched Marry Me on Peacock this week. It was a cheesy romantic comedy but was fun to watch on Valentine’s Day.
5. Eating – My husband is finishing doing our closet remodel. We needed a few pieces from IKEA that were only available at the New Haven, CT location. It was our quickest IKEA store visit ever! Since we drove so far to get there, we figured we would get lunch in the area. We found an Ethiopian restaurant, Lalibela. Our local Ethiopian restaurant in Mount Kisco recently closed so it was so nice to get to have Ethiopian food! If you’ve never had Ethiopian food before, you use the injera (a spongy, sour flatbread) to scoop up the food. There are no utensils.
I saw an ice cream shop, Milkcraft, that looked interesting when we were driving around looking for parking. We stopped in and shared a strawberry with aged balsamic ice cream in a bubble cone.
6. Puzzle – Over the weekend I finished this Wizard of Oz puzzle. I’ve been working on it for awhile and was glad to finally get it done.
7. Guilty Eats Contributor – I’ve recently become a contributor to Guilty Eats, a site that’s part of the FanSided network. I’d love for you to check out my articles:
Honey Graham M&M’s
Cereal Flavored Popcorn
National Snack Food Month
ICYMI this week on the blog:
Tuesday I posted about Snowshoeing at Winter Fahnestock Park.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
We saw Marry Me for Valentine’s too and I thought it was cute enough (though my husband commented on how very much the plot was to Notting Hill and now I just can’t stop comparing the two!). We don’t have any dine-in theaters near us but I have seen them on some other blogs and they look neat.
