I spent the weekend home with my family which is always so refreshing. Definitely helps me prepare for a new week. Friday night we made a trip to that favorite Italian restaurant I wrote about before, sorry no pictures this time, I was too hungry! I had this amazing seafood pasta; it was linguini with a light red garlic sauce with mussels, clams, calamari, and shrimp in it. YUM! I know what I'm eating leftover tomorrow! I also tried a new wine, Lambrusco. I'm a fan!
Yesterday I enjoyed a girls day with my mom while my dad and boyfriend golfed. We took a trip to Utica to get pedicures, do a little shopping, and grabbed a snack and drinks at Applebees. You can't beat that quality time!
Today was a relaxing day, as Sundays usually are. My boyfriend and I took some time to go visit with my grandparents which is always entertaining, they're 82 and 84 years old. They were so excited to see us, it feels good to see them and make their day. After that we went to Piggy Pat's in Washington Mills for some lunch and football. If you've never been there, I highly suggest making your way up there some Sunday and ordering smoked chicken wings. Trust me, they're fabulous and like nothing you've ever had. Then it was time to head back to school. Since we got home I've been working on homework, cleaning up my apartment that looks like a hurricane already hit it (embarrassing!), and making cookies. Making cookies was quite the adventure!
If you go to make cookies ( I was making chocolate chip) and you're out of brown sugar, you can use white sugar then just a couple of teaspoons of honey and you'll never know the difference. Everything online I read said to lower the heat and take the cookies out way sooner because they'll burn but that was not my experience. So delicious! Before I put my cookies in the oven we smelled something, it smelled like something burning! I figured it was cheese or something burning off in the oven (we could pizza in there frequently) but thankfully I opened it to look, it was a potholder! It is still a mystery how it got in there but I've never been so thankful to have an electric stove that just caused it to start to melt from heat not actually ignite. The oven hasn't been used since Thursday night and there was no potholder in it when I took the pizza out! What an experience! |
| Mom, you shouldn't cook pot holders! We'll weather Sandy together! |
This week should be interesting with this storm hitting. I wouldn't mind having to stay put in my apartment for a bit. Hoping that everyone is safe and has everything they need. If we have power and everything is back to normal I'll be dressed as a cheetah to celebrate Halloween Wednesday night. Meow!
That's all for now, stay safe!
