Weekend Recap

Apparently this should just be called "my weekend in food" because that is all I took pictures of!

 yep, totally one of those Cheese McGee's taking pics of their food

...all weekend long...

believe me I am even sparing you guys of a few...

ridiculous, out of control, food photography

(and by "ridiculous and out of control" I mean in quantity not quality)

Nonetheless, it was a wonderful weekend filled with catching up with old friends we haven't seen in a while. We have been busy to say the least or maybe I have just been so caught up in life lately that I haven't stopped to enjoy the friends and people around us. Sure I have been in company with them and yes it has been fun, but I don't think that I have been fully grateful and thankful. Friends are a wonderful thing - they are there for you even if you don't necessary see them or feel them (if that makes any sense at all). I guess I don't know how to explain it but its that imaginary support group. Yes, when things go awry you have your family right there and some of your close friends - and please note I am not discounting them what so ever - but it is those friends who I might not see very frequently that all of a sudden are so supportive in their own way - so refreshing. You know what is crazy? I feel like these are my adopted friends too - meaning they have adopted ME - they are my husbands old friends who now, I would consider, are just as much my friends :)

alright, alright - off my soap box I go...

Thank heavens for friends...and good ones at that!

it all started with breakfast Saturday morning - I was feeling a tad domestic might I say...

Dinner at Fireside Pies

their sangria is to d-d-d-i-e for! I also had a glass of Garganega it was crisp and delicious - perfect for the summer :)

Yes and yes - can I have this every night for dinner?

There is no better way to end a food induced weekend than by Taverna on Sunday, with a side of preferential treatment (just a little bit alright already).

WARNING: $1 Mimosas and $1 Bellinis  

And I just have one more picture - oh my is that a human in my picture...ah yes, yes it is...that would be my wonderful husband. AND a new experience for me - a bow shop (is that what you call it? - anywho - a store where they sell bow and arrows and practice and what not). :)

Happy Monday, Ladies and Gents!
