What I'm Reading This Week #36

How do, all! Here's a quick recap of what we've been shoving into our cake holes this week.

Monday was our official cook together day and it came together quickly.  Lobster ravioli with lemon sauce and sauteed haricot verts.

Tuesday I made a Brussels sprout flatbread I had my eye on.

It was insanely good and I think even the Mr was surprised because when I originally mentioned it, I felt judged.

For my birthday dinner, we cooked together again and did a steak au poivre with shallot sauce, chipotle honey sweet potato and blistered sugar snap peas.

Neither of us could stop smiling through every friggin' bite.  Amazing.  He said he felt like it was his birthday.  

Last night was Mexican cheesy chicken rice.

I've been taking a drink of water after every bite and that one had me floating with the rice.  It was good though.  

It's finally Friday and a long weekend for many.  I will take that even if it's really no different than other weekends these days.  I am ready for the unofficial close of summer!!  

For those tempted to poop on us Fall fanatics by saying "we've still got about 3 weeks left of summer, so pipe down pumpkin butt!"  I will remind those Summer folk they were kicking off the season on Memorial Day weekend which is more than 3 weeks before the official start of summer so...
