Weekend Update

This weekend was another busy good one. On Friday I went to dinner at a friend's house. She is an amazing cook. She made lentil potato soup, a salad (with more than just lettuce- like my typical 'salad') topped with these uh-maze-ing homemade croutons, and then roasted veggie sandwiches smeared with goat cheese. And then german chocolate cupcakes for dessert. So spoiled. And she sent me home with more food too.

And we went to a comedy night. It was really a good, funny night.

The next day was a homework/study day. But I also made a penne recipe (still not as good as my friends!) >:( (altho I think I used the whole box of pasta, and it only asks for 8oz.)

And I shopped for my Operation Christmas Child box. My friend's church did that this year and I made a box for her to turn in for the kid's around the world.

The loot:

A kite, a ball that claims to bounce 75 feet, my favorite- a glow in the dark star wars puzzle, toothbrush and toothpaste, a hat, candy, colored pencils, paints, light up yo-yos, and another favorite, that fun fuzzy bird pen. I want one!

I'm happy to make one more child have a smile on Christmas :)

I also made some more stuffed peppers and carrots to drop off to my friend who just had a sweet little baby boy

(no picture of baby boy, just of the food, whoops!)

And Sunday was a fun day with church in the morning, and then the long-awaited Breaking Dawn 2!!!

which wasn't my favorite, but really good. Always good to stare at that gorgeous vampire face.

I snuck in a couple of these cookies:

You are dead to me freak chocolate-less cookie!!!

And then book club at my friend's house. Great food and great friends.
