What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
I'm traveling and didn't have anything too adventurous. I did find a great hamburger joint in Birmingham, though, which will be handy to know next trip. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that chili sure jumped off the page! Today is cooking day, gotta go to the store! (Although I'll bet I can't find chipotle gouda here, YUM!)
ReplyDeleteYum! I am a happy girl now that asparagus is in season. Stinky pee or not, it's delicious and one of my favorite veggies!
ReplyDeleteI can see why the naan pizza is a favorite of the Mr.'s. It looks fantastic! Last time I looked for naan I couldn't find it, but I'll have another look or maybe get some in a few weeks when I'm up at my folks' house. Where they have stores with actual food instead of pseudo-groceries. I also need to stock up on chicken sausage, coffee, whatever produce is on sale that week, and get some of that better than peanut butter stuff you use.
ReplyDeleteThis week - I was so sick all week I barely ate solid food. I did drink gallons of orange juice though. Hopefully tomorrow's dinner will redeem my woeful week.
LOVE these pictures. You make me so hungry! :D
ReplyDeleteI tried a pasta & asparagus dish yesterday and it did not turn out nearly as well as yours--that alfredo sounds SO good!
ReplyDeleteOn two blogs today I found a spicy basil chicken dish. I'm going to make it tonight adding pea pods, mushrooms and bean sprouts over brown rice. So good! Shrimp with angel hair pasta and asparagus is next. Can't wait to have veggies all around.
ReplyDeleteThe salmon day jumped out at me! :raises hand for more fish nights, too:
ReplyDeleteI wonder what spinach and carrot polenta are? I shall google polenta but will put out a general guess - corn-based?
Googled! it is cornmeal. Do I just mix in spinach and carrots to the basic polenta recipe? (Staring at the first entry - Giada de Laurentil recipe)
Always LOVE your FFJs!!!
Melly- The polenta is in Trader Joe's Frozen Food section. It's a quick fix, 6 minutes in the microwave!
