Ten On Tuesday

May 28, 2013 By Carole

This weekend included an extra day off for most of us and I hope you all made the most of it. I know I did and that’s why today’s Ten on Tuesday topic is 10 Things I Did This Weekend.

  1. Had an indoor picnic. The weather didn’t cooperate for outside activities on Saturday afternoon so Dale and I kept things inside. It was perfect and romantic.
  2. Danced in the kitchen. Of course.
  3. Went to a college graduation party for my friend Amy’s daughter. It was great to celebrate this accomplishment.
  4. Made Deviled Eggs to bring to that graduation party. Why does everyone love them so much?
  5. Had the kids over on Monday for a cook out.
  6. Made this potato salad to serve at the cook out. Oh my.
  7. Did 3.5 miles on the elliptical and ran 3 miles outside.
  8. Played horseshoes with Dale. He won, of course, but I think I might be getting better. I just wish I could be more consistent.
  9. Made (and ate!) pico de gallo.
  10. Drank tequila and Mexican beer. Dreamed about being in Mexico again. Yes, I’m still not over Mexico.

    Sorry that your weather was crappy but you really do seem to make the best of it. I’ve got to try making potato salad.

    I’m still not over Rio, either, and I hope I never am! I love to remember my vacation there… and to think about all the things I’ll do when I go back again! Sounds like you made the best of your weekend.

    The weather wasn’t the best but we made the best of it! Glad that your vacation memories are lasting so long. That’s the sign of how much of a great time you guys had!

    oh that looks so romantic…with kitchen dancing even! my weekend was not nearly so with niece/nephew graduation party on saturday, knitting class on sunday and kids over for dinner on monday. fun yes, but not in a “just us two” kind of way.

    It seems like the big thing about this weekend in terms of activities is food, especially making delicious food. I will have to check out the potato salad recipe. I don’t like mayo-based potato salads personally, but that is at least in part a paranoia about them going bad in the summer heat.

    Your weekend sounds delightful. I love the indoor picnic! Our weather was drizzly all weekend, but we enjoyed it. Halle and I hit the coffee shop and the library. We came home with some terrific reads. I alternated grading papers and sneaking some fun reading time the rest of the weekend.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
