Taking A Break

Snuck in a down weekend there.  We actually had some big plans, but everything fell through last minute, so we decided to take advantage of the situation and just lay low.  Here’s my do-it-yourself weekend summary: So, (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) the wife and I sat on the couch (upstairs/downstairs) and watched (movies/football/baseball.)  Just mix and match the words inside the parentheses to create a very accurate portrayal of our last few days.  Outside of that, well not much to report.  Saturday I took a stab at dinner, and whipped up this recipe.  Now, before you start in on me, I was not out cruising marthastewart.com looking for valuable household tips.  I merely googled “shrimp basil pasta” (because that’s what I had on hand) and that’s the first recipe that came up.  I swear, try it yourself.  Anyway, it came out pretty well, I may try it again with some minor changes.  That killed an hour or so, then it was back to the couch.  Sunday was even less eventful.  I walked up to QT for a delicious breakfast, mostly just to get out of the house for a bit.  Hung out with the other ne’er-do-wells and enjoyed a fine meal of sausage biscuits and coffee, which is about the most entertainment you can expect for $3.50.  Maybe not the moderately wild weekend we had planned, but it was quite relaxing.
