Thoughts...

So...yesterday was a Friday without that Friday feel...I knew it was a Friday but it didn't feel like a Friday...and the last thing I thought of at 11:59 PM was my little blog...sigh! And then I fell asleep. My iPad was on the kitty's chaise lounge right next to me and I was going to grab it and blog but...I fell asleep and I didn't wake up until 7:00 AM. As soon as I woke up I reached for my Paperwhite...and immediately started my book...Try Not To Breathe...and I have been reading it...in between doing other stuff...ever since! It's so good. It's all about a 15 year old girl who makes the worst decision of her life and has been in a sort of vegetative state for the last 15 years and the washed out reporter...Alex...who has lost everything...career, husband, self esteem...because she needs to have 5 chilled bottles of a crisp white wine in her fridge at all times! She drinks them! Every night! Alex is a sloppy barely held together mess but she is now invested in trying to find out what happened to Amy. The mystery...the writing...the storyline in this book...I am loving every bit of it! This book is so good!

Finally made this soup for dinner last night...from SkinnyTaste...it's delicious! It is seriously like eating a bowl of meaty sauce! Everything cooks in the same pot. I had pre diced carrots, celery and onion from Trader Joe's...I added a huge can of plum tomato purée, another of organic beef stock. I added a handful of fresh parsley and basil, a few rinds of a really good Parmisano Reggiano cheese. Once it was bubbling I tossed in the Acini de pepe...tiny little pasta pebbles that cook right in the sauce. I also added a few squirts of a really good tomato paste! Den and I were loving every bite. It doesn't make a huge amount...which I love!

This is the tiny pasta that all Italian moms feed their babies...buttered and loaded with Italian cheese. My mom made the best!

 

The Red Lion Bakers made bread yesterday...so we had fresh bread with it...soooooo delicious! And you can't walk out of their house without grabbing a few brownies!

Tonight we are having carnitas from Damn Delicious! Love her recipes! These have the juices of oranges and limes plus a rub plus onions and garlic...slow roasting in my slow cooker...

 

We are getting ready to binge watch some stuff...so...I am off to watch and to read...

Have a great week end! We will all be back on Monday!

A rare treasured moment of calm before Lucy gets mad and huffs off and Roxie looks at me as if to say...what did I do?
