Happy Friday! This weekend starts the kids’ spring break. We are going on vacation so there won’t be a Friday post next week. I wish everyone an early happy Passover and Happy Easter! Here are five from this week:
1. Hike – Saturday morning we went on an early hike to Rockefeller State Park Preserve. We walked around Swan Lake and walked the Old Railroad Bed Trail to Peaceful Path. It was nice seeing spring trying to make an appearance. I am excited to be able to get more hiking in, now that the weather is starting to warm up!
2. Eating – After our hike we stopped at Falafel Taco for lunch. This is an Israeli-Mexican fusion restaurant. We shared several items including this Fatoosh Taco (fried eggplant, fried egg, black bean hummus, and Israeli salad) along with an Israeli Corn Salad and Mexican Latkes!
3. Reading – This week I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Even though this isn’t my usual genre, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed his other book The Martian. I’d heard such good things about Project Hail Mary, I thought I’d give it a try and I’m glad that I did.
I also finished listening to The Therapist on book on cd. It was an okay suspense read.
4. Cooking – one of our favorite dinners this week was Honey Sriracha Tofu that I served with rice and roasted broccoli.
5. Watching – Friday we watched King Richard, which was a great movie. Kind of makes me want to play tennis again!
We also watched Tick tick Boom, the musical about Jonathan Larsen. I saw Rent on Broadway twice and it was so interesting to see Jonathan Larsen’s life before that.
A fun television show that I’ve been watching is That’s My Jam on Hulu. Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, it’s a music and trivia game show with musicians and celebs competing against each other.
ICYMI this week on the blog:
Tuesday I shared a post about Brothers Fish & Chips.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
I love B. A. Paris books! The Therapist wasn’t my favorite, but it passed the time just fine.
We enjoyed King Richard too! I hope you have a fabulous time on your vacation.
I really don’t know much about musicals, and I don’t know that I’ve seen Rent all the way through, but I do know about some of the backstory/Larson’s sudden death, and it is wild! Also, unrelated, but thank you for introducing me to Heardle, haha! I’m hooked!
