What I'm Reading This Week #35

Howdy do and happy last Friday of August!  I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees.  Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day!   It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get.    Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes   (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

It's our first weekend back home and I'm looking forward to getting back into a routine.  It's always weird to find a spot and time to exercise at someone else's house and I hope we stuck to our plan.  I'm also ready to get into the holiday spirit soon so I'm going to see if there are any craft shows and that kind of stuff going on yet.

What are you up to this weekend?

  1. Welcome back! Hope you had an awesome and rejuvenating trip!

    I was up and at 'em bright and early this morning and packed my car with 25 boxes and 3 bags from the basement along with 7 big boxes of books. Headed out to the burbs to drop of the donations, then off to Half Price Books to sell the books and got some good shekels, so I was more than pleased. Then on to Home Goods to look for a specific table, with no luck. Ours didn't carry it, but the one out there did during the summer, but when I walked in the place was madness with all employees setting up Christmas merchandise. I was bummed, but at least I know what I'm looking for does exist. I'm exhausted now so beyond doing a load of laundry and making dinner, I'm done for the night. Tomorrow the hubs works so I'll do the grocery shopping, and rearrange the mowers and snowblower in the garage since winter is upon us. I might go by this really good salt I got last year too (it's purple!) that quickly ran out for the reason of the season, so a trip to Lowe's might be in the works for me as well. Then the remaining laundry, exercise, and football. We shoveled 5.3 inches of snow yesterday, with a little more tonight, so the dogs will enjoy playing tomorrow morning.
    Have a great weekend!
