Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week! It was nice having a shorter work week, since I had Monday off. Here are five from this week.
1.First College Tour – Monday we went on our first college tour with my daughter! We visited SUNY Stony Brook in Long Island. It wasn’t at the top of her list, but she surprisingly liked it. Wednesday she toured Manhattan College, my dad’s alma mater. We have a whole list of additional schools that she wants to visit. I’m just finding it crazy that we are at this point!
2. Eating – Before we got to Stony Brook we stopped in Queens for lunch at the New World Mall. This food court has over 30 different Asian food stalls. We enjoyed vegetable soup with hand pulled noodles, a vegetable bibimbap and egg and chive dumplings.
Then we had an ice cream crepe with berries and bubble tea.
3. Reading – This week I didn’t finish reading anything! I’m over halfway through my current read Miss Cecily’s Recipes for Exceptional Ladies by Vicky Zimmerman. This afternoon I’m picking up some library books that I had on hold that came in. I’ll hopefully finish this one over the weekend since I’m very excited to read some of the other books.
4. Cooking – This week’s menu included Sheet Pan Cauliflower Fajitas, Creamy Tortellini French Onion Soup, salmon with rice and broccoli and homemade pizza.
5.Watching – This week my husband and I finally watched the last episode of Fleishman is in Trouble. Although it was a sad show, we enjoyed it. The new show that we are watching together is Shrinking (Apple TV+). This show is both emotional and funny. Although we’ve only watched three episodes so far, we are really liking it!
6. Field Hockey Winter League – Sunday my daughter played her last field hockey winter league game. Next year, after the fall field hockey season ends she won’t be playing in any off-season leagues.
7. Master Bedroom Renovation – We are in the process of redoing our master bedroom. My husband painted the walls, we ordered new furniture and he’s been putting in the new flooring. Part of the process has been going through our stuff and getting rid of things. We dropped off BAGS of donations to our local Goodwill this weekend.

Monday I shared a post about Kura Revolving Sushi Bar.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
Eek! I’m trying to put off college tours until the spring and since he only has a couple of culinary schools to look at; I think that’s totally doable. That ice cream crepe looks amazing. I need to make sure to get to our library and pick up the books I have on hold tomorrow.
An ice cream crepe?! That sounds fantastic! I do not miss the days of college tours. I loved my high school, so having, like, one foot in college when I was still in high school was not my favorite.
