Weekend Wrap Up
Even though my weekend is only one day, I had the most relaxing and needed break this Sunday. Life lately has been going to work, coming home and sending emails to wedding vendors/our wedding planner and falling asleep on the couch by seven, lather, rinse, repeat. David and I spent a quiet Saturday night watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel finale and perusing through our cookbook collection. Our collection is extensive and pretty impressive, but we never make recipes from said cookbooks so we decided our monthly goal is to make new recipes every Sunday. Do you have cooking goals?
When we woke up Sunday morning, we decided to hit the road and go hiking in Joshua Tree. We started our morning with Trader Joes blueberry and lemon biscuits, put them in the air-fryer and ate almost the entire bag of biscuits. We packed our backpacks full of sunscreen, water and snacks and took the hour road trip to the high desert. We took a slight detour to visit the Invisible House (featured in the new Netflix series, The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals) and headed towards Indian Cove and did some mild rock climbing. It was sunny, cool and the perfect day to hang out outside.
Once we got back home, David spent way too much money at Popeye’s and KFC to prove to me that Popeye’s chicken sandwich is better! For over a year, David and I have had this hilarious feud over which fast food chain is better. We went wild and got side dishes and did a side by side comparison of chicken, cole slaw, mac and cheese, biscuits and mashed potatoes and gravy. The end result, Popeye’s chicken might be better but KFC has the best biscuits!
After showering and picking up the bedroom, I did my usual bedtime yoga routine and fell asleep to the latest 80s teen series I’ve acquired, The Nightmare Inn by T.S. Rue. If you don’t follow my bookish adventures you can follow me at @notesfromalibrarian where I share books from my past and post all the things I loved being an 80s baby/90s tween, like Babysitter’s club stuff, Sassy magazine clippings and Delia’s clothes I wanted as a 90s tween/00s teen.
