Weekending

October 11, 2016 By Carole

To look at my photos from this long weekend you would think that all I did was eat. And drink. I’m not going to lie and say that the eating and the drinking aren’t big parts of every weekend but I might just have to learn to take photos of the other stuff I do. Like knitting. And reading. Those things, though, while entirely enjoyable, just aren’t as photogenic.

Anyway. Here’s the weekend that was.

friday-nights-snacks-for-carole-knits

Friday night. Snacks on the deck while it was still warm enough to be outside. The weird thing is that it’s getting so dark so early. I thought it was super late and time to go inside and it was only 7:15. Ha.

spider-web-for-carole-knits

Saturday morning. A walk to the cemetery for some exercise and also to visit Bob’s grave, contemplating the year it’s been since he left us. Dale spied this beautiful spider web and I took a photo, of course.

seans-pizza-for-carole-knits

Saturday afternoon. Lunch and knitting at Sean’s with homemade pizza. That one in the front had fig and shallot marmalade with bacon, brie and balsamic glaze. Fabulous!

saturday-night-snacks-for-carole-knits

Saturday evening. The rain had begun so it was snacks inside. Pretty much the usual snack assortment but on my perfectly seasonal Ouija board tray.

grilled-cheese-for-carole-knits

A late Saturday night dinner of grilled cheese and tomato. We’re still picking tomatoes from the garden and I couldn’t be happier about that.

drinks-at-dischs-for-carole-knits

Sunday evening. Dinner out. We spent the very rainy afternoon watching the Pats (Brady’s back!!) and resisting the usual lure of drinking and snacking during football because we were determined to head out for dinner. I say determined because so many times we will make a plan to go out and then wind up just staying home. It’s nice to stay home but it’s nice to go out occasionally, too.

sunday-night-snacks-and-wine-for-carole-knits

Monday afternoon. The same snacks only on a much smaller scale. And wine. My day had not gone as planned, derailing at 9am with a work issue, so this glass of wine was most welcome. As was the quiet time with Dale that went along with it. He’s a wonderful sounding board and always makes me feel better about things.

apple-pie-for-carole-knits

Monday evening. Homemade apple pie because I bake when I’m stressed. A slice of this while watching Stranger Things was the perfect ending to the weekend.

How was your weekend?

    Baking always centers me, too. But you might have guessed that from my email address.

    You are so right about the baking and stress relief. I had a delicious glass of red myself last night and it was perfect. You need to go into a snack business next! 🙂

    I’m not liking how it’s getting dark so early these days myself. I’m glad you are getting to enjoy the outdoors for as long as you can though. I can’t believe it’s a year since Bob has been gone. Time flies by way too fast.

    Oh my, the ingredients of that pizza…! Hope the issues are resolved and you’re stress level is down.

    I love the spider web. This weekend I found a ramen noodle bar nearish to where I live and it was soooo good. I was pleased to accomplish everything on my list-both chores and fun stuff. Saturday-Monday turned out to be glorious fall days here.

    sorry things got derailed, but it still looks and sounds like a wonderful early fall weekend. I love how your food and drink photos still show love and friends. (hope things are getting better at work!)

    That spider web is amazing. And, except for the stress, the weekend sounded lovely. I’ve had a couple derailed days in the past week, and it’s just not that much fun.

    Great, now I’m hungry! And that spider web is gorgeous!

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
