What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

Free money and Food Journal Friday

It's Friday y'all!  Man this week has dragged/drug been long.  

You know when it's a good day?  When you get this...


$10 off at Sur La Table?  Don't mind if I do.  I know where I'm going Sunday!

I'm going to have the Mr run over to the video store and pick up This Is 40.  (affiliate link)  There has been a serious dry spell of good movie releases this month.  Boo.  I have high hopes for this one.  I'm actually hoping I will love it so much it'll go on the wish list for b-day/Cmas.  Let's hope I'm not eating those words tomorrow.

{Update} - Mmm, these words taste mighty good with BBQ sauce.  It's REALLY bad when the credits are better.

You wanna see the food, don't you?  Let's eat!

Sunday was pineapple, roasted red pepper bbq chicken naan pizza and our Sunday tradition of TJ's chipotle cheddar bites.  Calories:  715


Monday was chicken tacos with "rainbow salad."  (Black beans, corn, red peppers, scallions)  Calories:  623


Tuesday was crab stuffed flounder, thai lime rice and grilled green beans.  Calories:  645


Wednesday was one of our favorite meals.  BBQ chicken quesadilla with TJ's pesto gouda, grilled purple potatoes since my russets were putting down roots and brussels.  Calories:  656


Thursday was mahi fish taco, leftover rainbow salad and a side of brussels with roasted red peppers.  Calories:  680


Tonight's dinner will be BBQ salmon burger, a side of brussels and a clementine.  Calories:  425

I've got a little surprise for the Mr tomorrow so I can't say what we're doing this weekend but Sunday I'm definitely hitting up Sur La Table.  If only I could live there, roll on the floors and cover myself in their merchandise.  Oops, I probably shouldn't have said that aloud.

What's on tap for your weekend?

    It was a loooong week but as evidenced by your pics above we ate extremely wonderful meals. But then again I say that all the time, because it's true!

    Can't wait to find out what my big surprise is!

    Oh man that looks good. I'm proud of you for getting so much fish throughout the week. That's one area where I fail, even though I love fish.

    Aw, why didn't I get a coupon in the mail?! Sigh. I am probably headed to Sur La Table tomorrow too. We should compare hauls! :)

    That is a nice coupon! I look for those all the time online. I never buy anything online anymore without searching one out. I used to get Sur La Table's catalog and bought a few copper items back in the day.

    Well, my weekend plans just changed as I got a short email from my mother stating that Easter Brunch was cancelled at my uncle's assisted living place due to a flu bug going around. So now I need to rearrange some things, so I honestly don't know what my weekend plans are! =o)

    No plans for the weekend. I just got home from a visit with my folks. The little guy is staying for some extra grandparent time and they will run him home on Sunday. All I know for my weekend is it will involve no children's tv, and sleeping in both days which is a rare luxury.
