Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week! It was nice having a long three day weekend last week. A lot of the weekend was spent doing house stuff including power washing the deck and taking care of an unexpected HVAC issue. I also did a bit of shopping in preparation of my brother-in-law’s wedding next weekend. But, we did manage to fit in some fun. Here are five from this week:
1. Dia Beacon – Sunday we went to Dia Beacon. This is a contemporary museum in Beacon, one of my favorite Hudson Valley towns. Even though we’ve been here several times, we took a museum tour for the first time and it was so enlightening!
2. Eating – I treated myself to The Angry Lobster Roll from Wild Fusion. It has tempura shrimp and spicy crabmeat rolled in a soy paper wrapped topped with steamed lobster and an eel and sweet chili sauce. Very tasty!
I also enjoyed the stir fried eggplant from P.F. Chang’s. However, the Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts that I also ordered were a bit disappointing.
3. Reading – This week I finished Part Of Your World by Abby Jimenez and it was SO good! I’ve read all her books and I highly recommend them if you like contemporary romance.
4. Cooking – This week one of our favorite dinners was Grilled Chimichurri Portobellos with Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes. I love mushrooms! And adding goat cheese to mashed potatoes is so delicious!
5. Watching – Of course we started watching the new season of Stranger Things! Anyone else? I also finally finished watching Candy on Hulu this week.
6. Two Way Brewing Company – after the museum we visited a new-to-us brewery, Two Way Brewing, in Beacon. My husband had a beer flight and we ordered some food. We plan on visiting more breweries this summer!
7. Buff City Soap – A Buff City Soap just opened in Mohegan Lake. I visited and picked up two soaps as well as a mystery box. I love the items I received in the box and they all smell sooo good!

Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
My dad has been power-washing our deck, and it does not seem like a great time. Good for you for doing it, haha. Those soaps you got are so cute!
Oh my goodness that lobster dish looks amazing!!
My husband binged ALL the new Stranger Things episodes over the weekend and is anxiously awaiting part 2 to come out in July. I just can’t get into the show though I was happy to see Winona Ryder in something again.
