The Goings Ons v.6

in stuff to know about

 

Reading: Sunset magazine, and the third Hunger Games book. Thinking about reading A Thousand Gifts on vacation. Yes? No?

Listening to: The Lumineers on Spotify.

Thankful for: My new nephew, Isaiah Michael. He was born last week to Katie and Mikey. I play to spoil him and can’t wait for him and Anna to be able to chase each other around by next summer.

Anticipating: Hawaii! Hawaii! Hawaii!

Cooking: Real Simple’s Pasta with zucchini, tomatoes, bacon and feta. I needed to use all my garden produce!

Baking: Easy Oreo Truffles, because it’s STILL TOO HOT to turn on the oven. Hint: I used Trader Joe Joe’s with chocolate filling. Also, add a little bit of baker’s wax to the chocolate if you have some on hand.

Drinking: 2009 Earthstone Chardonnay from Trader Joe’s. It’s cheap, and it’s good. Read the review over on FrugalFoodieFamily. Photo credit goes to them!

Watching:  The new Bourne movie tomorrow night at the drive-in to celebrate our 7th anniversary. I might be sipping a little of that chardonnay, and I might be eating those Oreo truffles while there. And we might makeout. Don’t tell.

Amy- I made it on Friday night, and it's good! Needs a little more salt than called for, but it was yummy and healthy (especially if you were to leave out the bacon, but why would you do that?!?) Michelle- I am very sorry to mention TJs. :)

oh, any mention of Trader Joes-- makes me just a tad bit homesick.

I saw that recipe in Real Simple this month. Let me know of it's good!
