Weekend Recap

This past weekend was one where I feel like we did a whole lot, but when I think back we really didn't do THAT much.

We kept it simple and lazy on Friday night.  Eric was going turkey hunting early Saturday so Friday was basically shenanigan-less. I had big plans to grill flat bread pizzas and I still do because I decided on a whim after looking through the week's grocery ads that we were going to have tuna steaks for dinner. The result was one of the prettiest (and delicious) meals I have ever made.  It was shockingly simple and I can't wait to make it again!  I am so ready for Eric to go on a tuna trip with his brother this summer so they can bring back some super fresh tuna steaks! This might be the first time I will tell him he better go catch some fish!

I was super proud of this gorgeous plate of food.  I used this recipe for both the tuna steaks and the dressing.  

The rest of our weekend consisted of taking in a little league baseball game, eating fresh oysters (Eric not me), hanging out at a crawfish boil (once again, Eric ate them I didn't), a fun Saturday evening with friends, sleeping in on Sunday, a little house cleaning out, a quick run, puppy dog walks, Sunday dinner with friends, and lots and lots of basketball.  I don't even want to think about how terrible my brackets are this year.  It makes me want to cry.  On the upside, there have been some very exciting games, so I can at least enjoy the games while they are going on.

Clockwise from top left: 1) Have I mentioned how much I adore my new shirt?  It makes me smile.  We just need to work on Peanut's posing skills so he doesn't look like I just snatched him up.  Note to my photographer (ahem, Eric): make sure to have the dog's attention, too, when taking a photo of your wife and the dog; 2) Hawk and his buddy Ringo.  These two played ALL DAY Saturday.  I didn't think it was possible for two dogs to play that much fetch, but they did and loved every minute of it; 3) Our first peach cobbler of the year (not made by me).  I am so ready for summer so this can happen more often; 4) Saturday night we went to a crawfish in the booming metropolis of Notasulga, AL.  You know you're in the country when you head down a driveway lined with cows.  This one had several who happily posed as we drove by.

This week is going to be jampacked and lots of fun! I am so excited about it! I just hope that my excitement doesn't make it last twice as long, but hey it's already Tuesday so I must be doing something right!
