Happy Friday! Is anyone else looking forward to the long weekend? Memorial Day Weekend is the “unofficial” kick-of to the summer. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t looking great for today and tomorrow. So, we didn’t travel to Rhode Island like we normally do. Here are five from this week:
1. Yard cleanup – most of last weekend was spent doing yard work. Yes, it was 90+ degrees last weekend, but when you have a rare, free weekend, you gotta do what you gotta do. It was a lot but I felt so accomplished!
2. Eating – After running errands Saturday night in Danbury, CT we went out to dinner at Edo II. It’s a sushi and Korean restaurant. I had shrimp gobdol (bibimbap hot in a stone bowl).
3. Reading – I finished The Summer Place by Jennifer Weiner. It wasn’t my favorite book of hers. Just too many unbelievable situations.
4. Cooking – This week one of our favorite dinners was Ridiculous Baked Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce. I’m saving this for rotation in the fall/winter. It’s a bit of a heavier dish, but it was good!
5. Watching – My husband and I have been watching an episode of Ozark here and there when we have time to watch TV together. I’ve been watching Candy on my own. I can’t believe how Jessica Biel is almost unrecognizable!
6. Letterboxd– Not new, but I don’t think that I’ve shared this site before. I keep track of the movies I watch on Letterboxd. It’s like goodreads, but for movies!
7. Guilty Eats – I’ve been writing a lot about beverages for Guilty Eats. Here are a few of my recent posts.

Healthier Hydration with Karma Water
8. Spring Band Concert – this week my daughter had her high school band concert. Although they are a small school, their band is so good! The band teacher did a tribute to all the graduating seniors and they really are like a small family.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
I didn’t recognize Justin Timberlake in Candy either! It was a compelling show to watch and so many of the glasses/ outfits/ mannerisms reminded me of growing up (without the grizzly murder of course!).
I went to a small high school that felt like family too! It’s such a nice experience to have. 🙂
