It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. We have ourselves a long weekend. With very little to do. Because, well, the COVID. Usually I think I’d be in Alpine but we sold that property and here I am languishing at my casa like I tend to do every weekend since f***ing March. What a dream come true.
I awoke with a mission to find more pumpkins, specifically, blue. My mission was a success. Bekah wondered why more pumpkins were needed. Well, can you ever have enough? They will be in place until the end of November.
For lunch I made some southwest burgers. Tried to mimic one of my favorite in town. A Serrano Mayo, avocado, hatch chili’s, jalapeño, spring mix and tomatoes. It was a delightful beast.
I had the pleasure of giving the dogs a bath. I lost at rock, paper, scissors. While in the midst of my chore, it decided it wanted to rain. Well, really just sprinkles. I got a little wet and I loved it. It’s been teasing all week. I don’t feel what I got was the answer to my prayers. Give me something epic for the love of god!!!
So we FaceTimed the Slovak. I did for a little while. The conversation was insane. I heard things that are better left unsaid. Someone was seriously in the drinking mood. This went on and on for a couple hours.
For dinner I made a chipotle chicken with a chipotle pasta with corn. It was delicious.
Sunday morning my house was like a tomb. So quiet, except for the occasional moan coming from down the hall. You see, Bekah was in a bad place. The drink put a beating on her. She isn’t sure she is going to make it out of bed.
She requested hangover food. Well, I obliged. I made chorizo potato and huevos a la mexican with bacon tacos. Oh, and refried beans. A special request. I must admit the meal was delicious. I think it worked, because she didn’t go back to bed but managed the couch.
After brunch she vegged on the couch and I completed some chores. HEB was a total mad house. The shoppers seemed lost, as they were meandering up and down the aisles like complete dumb dumbs. I decided to only grab what I needed for the day and save the rest of my shopping for tomorrow when I’m off from work. I couldn’t handle so much stupid. People bumped into me. Stopped right in front of me. Blocked aisles with perplexed moronic looks on their faces. Had these idiots ever shopped this store before? I hadn’t the patience for a bunch of block heads.
Bekah’s condition was only abated by the munchies. Only a couple hours after brunch she became painfully aware no “hangover” food was in our house. That means chips, microwave Mac or potatoes. Whatever. I feared a trip tot he store again. Instead I went to Rosas. I got a variety of s***. She munched to take her mind off her pain. We still had dinner right around the corner. Sunday’s, my friends.
Wagyu beef Hamburger Helper MAC style for the beautiful princess. This has become the go-to comfort meal in our house. I will say it’s pretty freaking good.
What to do on my day off? Well how about watching Hotel Transylvania 2. I was able to watch the first one a couple weekends ago and found it quit enjoyable. I’d been told that they are a treat. Have not been let down. I miss watching animated films.
Next up, my weekly grocery trip. It’s amazing that I can fit a weeks worth of food into a little basket. I’m excited about this weeks menu. It’s cooling down so I’m cooking more appropriate foods for the cooler weather.
Once back at the house I start Hotel Transylvania 3 and begin throwing together lunch, fish tacos. And some grilled corn salad. Having just watched all 3 movies in such a rapid time I’m hard pressed to say which on I liked the best. Possible the 3rd one. I don’t know. The first was also very good.
So what did I do with my day off? I watched animated films. Good times. I was going to watch more but SuddenLink decided to give up on me so I was forced to find something else to occupy my time. How about pickle some red onions. While I’m at it, let’s prep for tonight’s dinner. Might as well with the knife out.
5 o’clock rolled around and I decided it was time for an adult beverage. Are you surprised that I waited so long? I honestly am! Unsweet tea w/ lemon Deep Eddy vodka. Never a more refreshing summer drink. Yes, it’s still summer. This week, though, it will feel like fall. Hell, it might feel more like winter after the 100+ temps we have had. I can’t wait!!
Bekah wanted sriracha chicken thigh and hoisin onions. I prefer breast. 🤷♂️. Whatever. I turned out really good. Married couples make sacrifices. She had to work and I didn’t. She deserves what she wishes. Love her.
That concludes a weekend blog. So exciting, I know. You wish you had my life. Hahaha. Hope you had fun. Hope you had more excitement. Cheers to all you happy f***’s. Happy happy joy joy!!
