Hooray for Friday – my favorite weekday! My husband was away at a work conference Monday and Tuesday so I had to do the single parent thing for two days. It really made me appreciate how much of a team we usually are in doing the house stuff and taking care of the kids. Wednesday, we finally got some snow and had an early dismissal from school/work. Thursday, I had a dentist appointment to get a new crown made. I had an old one that I’ve had recemented three times in the past couple of months and this past weekend, it came off and I ended up swallowing it! It’s Here are five from this week.
1.Date Night – Saturday night my husband and I went to Mahoney’s Irish Pub in Poughkeepsie for a murder mystery dinner. It was presented by ACME Mystery Co. I had been wanting to go to one of these for a while! It was a different and fun night out.
2. Eating – Sunday for lunch we ordered takeout from a local pizzeria. I was craving eggplant parm and did not want to make it, so this really hit the spot.
3. Reading – This week I finished reading Love & Saffron by Kim Fay. It was a quick, short, easy read about food and friendship written in letters between two friends.
4. Cooking – This week’s menu included One Pot Creamy French Onion Pasta Bake, Vegan Meatball Soup with Pasta & Kale, Brussels Sprouts, Mushroom & Goat Cheese Casserole, Crispy Sesame Tofu with rice and roasted broccoli and homemade pizza.
5. Puzzle – I finally finished the 3,000 piece Nickelodeon puzzle! Unfortunately, there are two pieces missing, thanks to my cats, who enjoyed jumping on the table and knocking the pieces off. I’m hoping they turn up.
6. Watching – It took me awhile, but I finally finished watching Wednesday (Netflix) this week. I’m surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, kind of like with Stranger Things. Not my usual genre of television, but it had me intrigued. I heard it was renewed for another season, so there will be more to come.
7. Internet Things:
ICYMI this week on the blog:
Tuesday I posted the 2023 Westchester County Dining Guide.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
That sounds like a fun date night and all your food looks so good! I enjoyed Love and Saffron and Wednesday too.
OMG I love your Nickelodeon puzzle! For some reason, Stu and Grandpa Lou from Rugrats jumped right out at me like Where’s Waldo, haha! I feel like the characters you see first must be some kind of personality test LOL! I did really like Rugrats back in the day and will occasionally listen to the theme song while I’m working, it’s still so good! 🙂
