Happy Friday! It was another four day work and school week since we had Monday off for Columbus Day. But why do short weeks always feel so long?! It was another super busy week. However, things will hopefully start to slow down now. The kids had their last games of the season this week. They still have practices until they play their sectional games but the end is in sight! Here are five from this week:
1. Eating – My daughter had me buy these Oreo Brookie-O cookies. They are filled with brownie, original and cookie dough cremes. We all thought that they were really sweet.
2. Mochinut – Monday after the kids’ sport practices we took them out for lunch. We went to the recently opened Mochinut in New City. They enjoyed bubble tea, rice hotdogs and we shared some mochinuts. This was our first time having mochi donuts, which we all loved! We shared the Vietnamese coffee, Chocolate Caramel and Mango varieties, but they had so many more that we’ll need to go back and try! It was also our first time having rice hotdogs (mozzarella for us non-meat-eaters) which were so good too! I was happy that the four of us got to to spend some quality time together.
3. Reading – This week I did not get to finish reading a book. I am almost halfway through The Winners by Fredrik Backman. This is the third, and I believe final, book in the Beartown series. It was just published and it’s over 650 pages! So far, I’m really enjoying it!
4. Cooking – This week’s menu included One Pot Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo, Curried Egg Noodle Soup, Pierogies and Roasted Broccoli, Crunchy Roll Bowls using Sweet Earth’s Korean Chik’n this time instead of tofu and homemade pizza.
5. Puzzle – I completed this White Mountain The Movies 1,000 piece puzzle in a 24-hour time period. It wasn’t a very challenging puzzle, but was fun to put together. My husband now wants us to watch/rewatch all of the movies featured in the puzzle!
6. Watching – I’ve finished watching the first season of The Morning Show (Apple+) and am halfway through the second. For mindless fun, I’ve started watching Bachelor in Paradise (Hulu) and my husband and I just started watching the newest season of the Great British Baking Show (Netflix).
7. Drinking – My sister sent my son a box of Warheads Sour! sodas. There are five cans in the box, but so far, he’s only tried the Watermelon soda. I of course had to give it a try. It was tart but not undrinkable. He enjoyed it a lot.
ICYMI this week on the blog:
Monday I posted about the Serious Fun Arts Fest in White Plains.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
I didn’t realize Beartown was part of a series! I’m going to have to look into that. I enjoyed the first book. Those cookies sound good and your donuts look wonderful.
Whoa, those are some next level Oreos! I regret not looking for them at Target when I was there earlier (because when am I not at Target? haha)
