Well Saturday rolled around and it felt like a weekday with Bekah off to work. What a bummer. I look forward to our time together on the weekends and it felt like I got cheated a day. I hate to say it, but I found myself a bit lonely. Loneliness is a thing when you see no one the majority of your waking hours. Who knew! At least I have my dogs and my obnoxious cat to keep me company. They are usually great company. I’m sure they are sick of me at this point. BTW, anyone want a cat?
While it felt like a weekday, I decided to not treat myself to the usual weekday lunch. I’ll be the first to admit that they are generally pretty pathetic. Awful might be a better description. Blah. So 1 o’clock rolled around and I finally decided on what to make. I would make a story of bun-less chicken sandwich. Grilled onion and jalapeño as topper and then some pepper jack cheese. Little bed of lettuce served with grilled lime, avocado & tomatoes. It was missing something. Hmmmmmm? Why not make a little Serrano mayo. F*** yeah! High five!!! Some gourmet s*** right there.
What to do with myself for the remainder of the day? Thought I’d switch it up and play an old video game. Super Nintendo. Super Mario World. Anyone remember this one? August 1991. I was 2 months past 10 when this one hit the streets. I still remember how blown away I was upon fist playing. The graphics were out of this world. I immediately fell in love with Yoshi. It was nice to return to something that I so fondly cherished as a child. Took me away to a different time. I also realize I have lost a skill in my old age. I’m just not as good as I use to be? I think I’ll continue this stroll down memory lane and see if I remember all the secrets. Never one to quit.
Dinner was a experiment. Loaded spud? Sure. Sweet potato covered w/ broccoli, chopped BBQ brisket, and jalapeño. Idea came from a post I say on Facebook. It was fun and very delicious. Something I would have never thought to make myself. Always enjoy a new idea.
Another Saturday, another FaceTime. I’m talking hours. First with family followed again with the Slovak. Almost 3 hours. It was brutal. Tequila. Why do we have 3 bottles.? I don’t understand. Either way, it was fun. Entertainment. It seems I might soon have clean shaven legs. This was a topic that was discussed. Exciting, right? No wax please!!!!
Sunday was a lazy morning. Bekah was worse for wear. But she is a real trooper and made us some brunch. Biscuits & gravy. I fried a sunny side and grilled some jalapeño. It was a really good meal. Not anything we would usually have. Nothing I’ve made. Happy camper.
The rest of the day we lounged around. Watched whatever we could find on TV, which wasn’t much. I ventured out once for Big Red. Wanted to try this margarita my friend kept talking about. It was hot so frozen was in order. What a tasty beverage. Who came up with I’m this? So many questions. I would not have thought the flavors would blend so well but they did. And I needed it. I overestimated how much insulin I needed for the brunch and had a low. And excellent excuse to drink, right?
Pizza pizza!!! I cheated. I didn’t make my own crust. Toppings. PINEAPPLE!!!! Such a divided topping. I’m sorry, I love it. Throw some pepperoni, Canadian bacon & jalapeño. What a treat. I can’t believe I once hated pineapple on pizza. What a fool I was.
Well, that’s another weekend blog. Hope all are safe & sound. Cheers!!!
