Happy Friday! What a snowy week it has been! I’ve had two, 2-hour delays and one snow day from work this week! And there is more snow expected next week! Tomorrow Dana and I are picking up a treat that we ordered for the kids for Valentine’s Day. They have all of next week off for their February break but I only have off Monday. Here are five from the past week:
1. Eating - last weekend we drove down to Port Chester to support local restaurants. They have been closed for indoor dining for quite some time and restaurants have lost a lot of business and some have even closed. We went to Mary Ann’s, a Mexican restaurant and I enjoyed the Sabras combo plate which included a cheese relleno, a black bean enchilada and a guacamole taco served with rice and beans.
Even though we were all stuffed, we went to Bona Bona ice cream and shared a cup of Holy Cannoli. So good!
2. Reading - I am finishing up Get Lucky by Katherine Center. It’s one of her older books that I found on the little free library bookshelf at work. It’s been an enjoyable read but I don’t love it as much as I love her newer stuff.
3. Watching - This week I started watching Virgin River on Netflix. I didn’t realize it was based on a book series by Robyn Carr. I don’t know why I didn’t start this show sooner, since I’m really enjoying it!
4. Cooking - This week we’ve made so many tasty things! Super Bowl Sunday we made soft pretzels again. This time I also made a beer cheese sauce to go with.
I also made homemade naan on the snow day to go with the 20 minute basil chickpea curry we had for dinner.
Wednesday, my daughter and I made everything bagel cheese balls after she saw them on a TikTok cooking video.
5. Loving - I found this murder mystery puzzle at the Salvation Army store in Port Chester. It was brand new and only cost me $2.70! It’s challenging since there’s no picture to help you. But the finished puzzle should have clues to help solve the mystery that was laid out in the booklet that came with. I haven’t done a puzzle since the beginning of quarantine when I was doing so many! And with the snow day and delays, this was a good week to start it!

I am obsessed with Virgin River…such a good show! I also didn’t realize that it was a book series and I’m tempted to read them now. Also have you watched Bridgerton? That’s another series that’s great and based off a book series.
I am so glad I found Virgin River. I’m loving it! I have watched Bridgerton and loved it. I haven’t read those books either!
That puzzle sounds fun… but challenging without a picture to go by.
It was a challenge but I enjoyed it.
