neglected bloggity blog

It's that time of year where every weekend fills up... And almost every week night too. And then I forget about TTEAL. So, what have I been up to you ask? I've been to a double-header baseball game, the lake to see my Mama, watched every show saved on the DVR, played soccer (injured at that), made the best waffles ever, and got tons of laundry done - all in 3 days. This week is just beginning too. Tonight I have another soccer game, tomorrow I have bunco, Wednesday is blank right now, Thursday I have a graduation to attend, Friday is blank, and Saturday I'm throwing a bday/poker party for one of the Roomies. I think I thrive on this stuff though. I'd be a very bored and lonely lady if I didn't have things to do.

Speaking of things, kind of... Okay, so no one warned me about the wedding nightmares. We're down to 5 months and 13 days. Yikes! Last night I dreamt that T decided the day before the wedding he didn't want to get married. And on top of that the rental place kept screwing things up, annnnnnnd he found a cute little blonde twit that he wanted to date. It was one of those awful dreams that I couldn't get out of either, like you wake up and go right back into it. Those suck something bad. And then they really ruin your day once you remember everything. I've got my catering taken care of, invitations are here and perfect, my dress should be in this week, and I just have to find a DJ that I like. I'm on the ball and feel really good about everything. It's just crazy how things are flying by but I'm really glad we didn't do this any faster because I wouldn't make it to the altar, they'd be checking me into the mental ward for obsessiveness.

I cooked a little this weekend and I realized how much I miss making dinner and baking. I really only get to cook the good stuff when The Roomies are gone. I don't like being in someone else's kitchen, ya know?

Everytime Toddles and I eat waffles I have to order a side of sausage, I have a bite of sausage with each bite of waffle. So I keep saying that I'm going to make my own waffles and put sausage in them. Oh. My. God. They were just as delightful as I expected. I browned some breakfast sausage and crumbled it up into small pieces. Then I added it to plain old Bisquick made for waffles and poured into the new waffle iron I went to 3 stores to find. I ended up eating 3* of them because they were so tasty. Shortly after that, I went into a hypoglycemic coma because of all the syrup. Totally worth it.

*3 little square Eggo sized waffles, not giant round ones, thanks Mike.

I also made pizza this weekend. I bought the dough because dough is a pain in the arse to make without my bread machine. I used Gorgonzola, roma tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. It was good, a little salty for me. I think I'll add some spinach to it tonight when I reheat it.



I almost forgot it was Menu Plan Monday... Ch-ch-check it out.

Breakfast: whole wheat English muffin and a poached egg.
Lunch: either leftovers or a spicy black bean patty and a frozen steamed veg pack.
Snack: Kashi bar or apple
Dinner
Monday: leftover pizza
Tuesday: bunco night - cheesy olive bread (thanks P Dub!)
Wednesday: spicy turkey empanadas
Thursday: pinto and cheddar patties, salad
Friday: whole grain penne with ground turkey and marinara
Saturday: snacky stuff - it's poker night
Sunday: lasagna - I've been craving it for 3 weeks and I want to make it for the fam

sushi therapy

I was bored yesterday so I decided to go to the grocery store. I got inspired while I was there and decided to get stuff to make sushi, thought it would be therapeutic since I was kind of in the dumps. *Note to self, making sushi is NOT therapeutic - it actual makes you want to pull your hair out everytime the nori splits.

Left to right: tuna, mango, cream cheese, & avocado; spicy crab and green onion. Top to bottom: cucumber and mango, avocado, cream cheese, & pistachio; mango and cream cheese; and spicy crab cups.

It turned out pretty tasty. By the time I was finished I was full because I kept eating my mistakes, so I took it the guys to share with while we watched BB8 and Entourage. They scarfed it down really fast - that's always a compliment!

Other than that it was a pretty boring weekend for me... I tried to go antiquing and thrift shopping but didn't have a lot of luck on Saturday so I headed to the library for the first time in my adult life. It was a bit confusing, I completely forgot about the whole Dewey Decimal system, it took awhile to get reacquainted with that whole thing. I ended up reading a book, watching some of the Planet Earth series, and reading cookbooks on Sunday - it was nice to stay indoors parked on the couch.

Well, I'm off to reorganize my reading list - it was a total clusterf*&k trying to find stuff. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a library system like Netflix?

Oh, goodness! My co-worker just came in here and told me about this - how freaking sad!!!
