my weekend, in details

I had such a wonderful weekend! The best word we came up with to describe our days is efficient, from big (packing lots of fun things into each day) to small (cooking lots at once without making a huge mess).

A. and I met up with a few new friends on Friday night to see an improv show, had dinner with A.'s parents (homemade quiche...drool), bought supplies for an upcoming secret dinner party (see aloe vera plant & napkins above - from World Market - love that place), ate lots of veggies, bought a new french press, bought and soon-to-be-planted begonias for A.'s mom, and baked 2 (unsuccessful whole wheat) baguettes, another batch of those oatmeal raisin cookies*, and trail mix cookies**. Oh and of course one morning of spinach & egg pancakes. :)

Off to plant begonias! Have a wonderful Monday!






* i used half the sugar and 3/4 the butter (1/2 cup and 3/4 stick). they tasted great on the first day but definitely lost some crunch by the second day, likely because of the decrease in butter. still a worthy substitution in my book!
