Weekend

This weekend bought public restroom toilet paper. Ugh. Yes, terrible mistake. This is what happens when you aren't paying attention in the grocery store. Single ply.  Tragedy.  Now I have 8 rolls to get through, like I'm in a gas station restroom. At least I'll save the last soft rolls for the guest bathroom and spare my guests the sandpaper!


In some fun news for the weekend, I went out to celebrate Brooke's 1 year anniversary since ending chemo! WOOHOO! She had a get together at Bourbon in Adams Morgan. I met some of her new friends and caught up with others I hadn't seen in a while.  A good time early night, and great to hang with Brooke!

 

I also did some cooking yesterday, to include a chicken udon soup with SHITAKE MUSHROOMS! That's right, I included my only vegetable nemesis. Actually, fungus.  Either way, I've concluded that I like shitakes, which is a great realization. They have a texture that I don't mind, as compared to button mushrooms which I really have no interest in.  I'll continue trying, as I always do, but this is a breakthrough!

 

I also baked up a coffee cake for the office today, as a morning bite for the folks who had birthdays last week and yesterday.  It was a Barefoot Contessa box mix, and while the crumb and icing were good, the cake was dense and not amazing to me. The folks in the office liked it, but I think I'm just not a huge fan of coffee cake overall, so lesson learned! Fun to bake up none-the-less.
