Oh, this weekend was so perfectly ‘weekend-ish’, full of good food, good times with friends, and a good dose of relaxation. Â I didn’t have my camera with me at all over the past couple of days, but my handy iPhone captured the highlights:
Shane and I celebrated the end of the work week Schnell-style, and met at a bar downtown for some Happy Hour action. Â Penn Cove mussels, garlic fries, and frothy pints of beer – these are the reasons it’s called ‘Happy Hour’.
We spent the rest of the evening with our friends Jason and Nancy, feasting on Jason’s tasty home-baked pizzas. Â This one was my favorite – olive oil, onions, avacado, arugula, mmm…
Saturday morning was my monthly book club meeting with the ladies – which means a latte and buttermilk biscuit. Â I’m afraid the book is secondary, really.
We spent Saturday afternoon at my office’s summer picnic, eating burgers and putt-putting a round of mini-golf. Â Turns out I am terrible at mini-golf, but Shane can putt like a pro. Â Go figure.
After church this morning, Shane and I headed over the Ballard Farmer’s Market. Â Seemingly endless rows of fresh produce, brightly colored flowers, and locally made specialty foods. Â And mini-donuts. Â Let’s not forget the mini-donuts.
And finally, an afternoon spent doing some shopping, followed by a quiet Sunday evening at home. Â Did some housework, some reading, and a yoga session that I will pretend can counteract the french fries, the pizza, the buttermik biscuit, the burger, and the mini-donuts. Â Right.
