COMFORTABLE WEEKEND








I feel like our weekend lasted about 10 minutes, but it was very nice. We had great weather. We had friends over. We went out for tex mex. I mean ... that's pretty much ideal by our standards. But for some reason it felt like it flew by. Oh well. I guess that's just the nature of weekends.

We started off Friday with a bit at Lobo. We hadn't been in a few minutes so we figured it was fine. I had some lovely pork tacos and Meena had her chicken enchiladas in garlic cream sauce.

Saturday morning I whipped up a bit of a garbage breakfast with some fridge leftovers. I threw together the following in a gratin dish:
- wheat bread
- seafood gumbo
- marinara
- egg
- sea salt
- black pepper
- sambal oelek
- cheddar cheese

Probably not very good for us, but pretty delicious.

We had a great Saturday night. Dan and Steve made their way over to the CG for a bit of dinner and laugher at our spot. Meena threw together an amazing veggie lasagna:
- lasagna noodles
- homemade marinara (tomatoes, carrot, celery, onion, basil, bay leaf, salt, sugar and garlic)
- ricotta
- egg
- zucchini
- squash
- carrot
- parmesan
- smoked mozzarella
- shredded mozzarella

I made a little starter that featured:
- balsamic pancakes
- garlic and chive sour cream
- salmon with spicy plum bbq

Meena also made a spin dip that was A W E S O M E. It featured:
- spinach
- artichokes
- parmesan
- sour cream
- mayo
- garlic
- salt

Again, not very good for us, but so so so so so delicious.

I also had to give Dan's limited edition DKNY Chandon bottle up there. Not bad. It had a little bit of a fruit finish. But fun, nonetheless. Very much a party drink!

Saturday morning we had a little egg, ham and cheese:
- egg
- swiss cheese
- whole wheat flat bread
- siracha
- field greens
- canadian bacon

Nothing noteworthy, but still pretty awesome.

Last night we just finished off the lasagna with one Matt C. I think it was even better the second time around. I love it when that happens.
