Five on Friday {September 15, 2023}

Happy Friday! Another week has flown by! It’s been a long week, so making this short and sweet! Here are five from this week:

1. Reading – This week I finished reading Cul-de-sac by Joy Fielding. I had to take a hiatus on reading this book when I was trying to finish my library’s book bingo. One of the boxes was to read a one word title. I took a poll in my Instagram stories as to whether Cul-de-sac is one word or two since my husband and I couldn’t agree. I thought it counted as one word but my husband didn’t. The poll results were fairly split, so I chose to read a different book.

I read Stamped by Jason Reynolds to complete the box. It’s a non-fiction middle grade/YA read about history and race. It’s very well written and informative.

2. Cooking  – I made Three Cheese Baked Pasta and there was enough for leftovers, which saved us a night of cooking! Other dinners included Trader Joe’s Spinach Tortellini with Alfredo sauce and salad, veggie burgers and fries and pierogies with roasted broccoli. No major cooking going on since we are so busy.

3.  Watching – My husband and I watched Adam Sandler’s You Are So Not Invited to My Bar Mitzvah (Netflix) last weekend. I thought it was pretty good. My teen daughter enjoyed and recommended it. I was impressed by the acting ability of Sandler’s daughters, who play his daughters in the film.

4. Field Hockey Games – Our world currently revolves around my daughter’s field hockey season. They had a game last Saturday and this past Wednesday and Thursday, all of which they won! I caught this sunset at last night’s game. As always, the picture doesn’t do justice to the beauty of the actual sunset.

5. Guilty Eats Posts: I’ve still been writing for Guilty Eats. Here are some of my recent posts:
