the mr came home friday from his 9 day biz trip. it's always nice to have some time by myself but 9 days is a little too long. there are only so many romantic comedies and british tv series one can watch on her own without going a little stir crazy.
a few things happened over the weekend:
on satuday baby jack turned 1! we ate burgers and chocolate cupcakes to celebrate his pretty eventful 1st year.
 |
| the first time i met jack 1 year ago. he is such a dream. |
we went to a portland timbers vs colorado rapids game satuday night. sad to report the timbers lost 1-0. i blame the unfit official and his lazy foul calls just so he wouldn't have to run the pitch. lame.
sunday morning i made creamy polenta with soyrizo, sauteed spinach and topped with a poached egg. i have been trying to get the mr to try textured soy protein (tofu dogs, ground soy for tacos, etc) and i snuck in the soyrizo while he was busy doing school work in the
 |
| iced lighthouse coffee - heaven |
sunday afternoon i put on a big ol'pot of red meat sauce make with ground veal. had it simmering away for over 4 hours till the meat was just tender enough it would melt in your mouth! tossed it with some goofy looking pasta (radiatori) and topped a dollip of fresh ricotta cheese. another win.
while the sauce was on the stove cooking away i tried to make a dent in my magazine stack and came across this:
 |
| it doesn't smell to good and makes me sneeze. a lot. |
i came across this in my google reader. these need to be made STAT!
i also found this.
and this.
i fell in love with this look.
i am currently coveting a pair of these
today i woke up to this being a complete jerk.
and this was todays lunch:
 |
| tuna salad w/capers and onions. mixed baby greens and olive oil toast |
i am trying to get my arse in gear and go for a run. tomorrow. i. will.
till next time,
amanda
