This past weekend flew by in a total blur, but it sure was a good one.
It seems crazy that there are so few summer weekends left at this point. Mike and I were discussing yesterday, that we feel guilty about spending a summer Saturday or Sunday lazing around, because we know that all too soon, it will be cold here, and we will be longing for the warm summer days that we should have spent at the lake.
Still though, it feels so good sometimes, to spend a day at home, lounging, playing, cooking, and watching movies… especially after an exhausting Saturday spent partying all day at the neighbor’s house.
So that’s exactly what we did…
I did however manage to hit up Bath & Body Works to take advantage of their 2 for $24 candle sale. Their fall scents are my absolute favorite (leaves in particular), so when they’re on sale, I make it a point to stock up. I believe the sale runs through today, so if you want some, move quick!
On Sunday, we totally indulged, and I made some homemade pistachio ice cream from the Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home cookbook. Her recipes are some of my fave!
We also, tried Bread Cheese for the first time. If you have no idea what this is (like me), this article explains it perfectly. We grilled ours, and drizzled honey over the top along with chopped walnuts (which I failed to photograph). Honestly, there are so few cheeses I dislike, but this stuff was incredible.
Otherwise, we played, pumped gas in our underwear, and mowed the lawn in a dress.
Another perfect weekend in the books. Hope yours was perfect too.
OMG I have the same Jeni's cookbook and I am in love with it. Like, I've literally slept in bed holding it. What else have you made from there??
I honestly want to make EVERYTHING, but so far just the pistachio, several times, because my husband is obsessed, the Backyard Mint, and the Sea Salted Caramel! They're all so good!
