The weekend, succinctly

{ pineapple water }

{ mushroom gnocchi with parmesan and black pepper, seared scallops, and lemony asparagus }

{ FurFur, watching Sex & The City and upset by the
Carrie-Big screaming scene when he doesn't get out of the car! }

The weekend, succinctly, was short and simple. I slept late and woke up late. I only left the house to take the dog out (sometimes), return overdue library books, and buy some fancy Dutch cheese and baguette from the store. I don't know what possessed me to voluntarily actively watch the Bears-Packers championship game – The Fella was out of town again – but I made up for this lack in judgment by watching Sex & The City on tv afterwards with my best girl pal who I dressed in a velour hoodie with crystals and a tramp stamp. I made a simple dinner one night consisting of only five ingredients. All the while, I tried to forget about the miserable Arctic Blast outside and recreate my recent Hawaiian resort lifestyle by making "Pineapple Water" (chunks of fresh pineapple in ice cold water!). Mmmm. I can almost feel the Aloha spirit!
