Savory Sundays: Citrus-Butter Shrimp Toss

Me playing my harp at a senior assisted living center.

Is it seriously Sunday already?? Really?! I just can’t accept this. The other day it was FRIDAY! As in the start of my weekend. Yesterday was spent getting my business cards ready and volunteering an hour of my time to play the harp at a local senior assisted living center (which was awesome btw, but my day was seriously spent doing that and homework. And baking/writing yesterday’s Sweet Saturday post) And now the calendar is telling me that all of a sudden I have school tomorrow? This is completely unacceptable. Someone really needs to re-write the damned calendar to give us at LEAST one more day in the weekend. At least.

I had such a blast volunteering my time yesterday, and I can’t wait to go back to play for them on Mother’s Day

But, since that’s not going to happen, no matter how much I beg (maybe I’m not talking to the right people? hmm…) I guess going to the beach with friends will have to make up for it all.

On the off chance that you guys are upset about it being Sunday already, I made you a delicious meal to take your mind off the entire thing. How does this magical meal do this you ask? Simple. It’s flavor is so delicious it completely takes your mind off everything except for how awesome this meal is. And by awesome, I mean seriously awesome!

If you don’t believe me, you’ll just have to make it yourself. And when you do, let me know if it’s a dish you’re going to make over and over again, because I know I am!

I really hope that you all are enjoying the rest of your weekend before we all get back to the “awesomeness” (yay sarcasm! hehe) that is the work week!

<3 and harp strings,
Kate

Busy Busy Hump Day!

Another day, another blog! Although I didn’t get a chance to write this on Wednesday, I had too much going on! I had wanted to get this entry up much sooner than I’m getting to it, but unfortunately my days have flown by and now it’s Saturday already! I had planned on getting this up last night before I went to bed but my pictures weren’t cooperating with me… but I will get this up before my sister in AZ (Erin) and I go get dinner started!!

On Wednesday I was trying to get the house cleaned for Bunco night on Thursday. I was hosting for Carrie’s group. Our house needed a lot of work but thankfully my sister-in-law, Shelley, came up to help

While we were eating the chicken quesadillas (one of the things I just couldn’t stop myself from getting at Sam’s Club lol), Picasso was quite fascinated with Shelley’s socks.

Mmmm socks!

He's such a weird kitty...

After lunch I went over to Carrie’s house to pick up some wine, and things for the thank yous that we were giving to her friends at Bunco. The thank yous were a recipe card of a cookie we grew up with (that was named after my mom, Carol’s Favorite Cookies), some of the cookies, and a card my sister wrote. Then I had to hit the grocery store to grab a few more things for the cookies, and then it was get back home time so I could get dinner going!
