My husband is the best. He made dinner! We had roast chicken, rustic mashed red potatoes with fresh dill and steamed asparagus. It was so nice to come home and have dinner waiting for me! Thanks, honey! The real exciting thing is that I have the bones to make some homemade stock this weekend! Woohoo!
A little bit after breakfast, we headed out to Lancaster, Pa’s outlet because Ron needed new pants from J.Crew. By the time we ran so errands, it was lunch time and all of us we starving. We debated about what to eat and finally decided on Panera. Ron and I split the chipotle chicken sandwich and the fuji apple salad. I also had an iced green tea. Now, I am going to lay down because I am not feeling so hot.
Our original dinner plan included the tourist favorite the Union Oyster House. Unfortunately, they were booked and further away than another Boston favorite- Legal Seafood. Ron wasn’t that hungry, so, we split 3 appetizers…in theory. I say in theory because Ron ate most of the fried Rhode Island style with garlic and peppers, I ate most o the coconut shrimp and we split the crab cake. The crab cake was the real winner of the meal. Wow. I am pretty sure there was no filling in this crab cake. As a drink, I had a favorite of mine- a peach Bellini. We ordered dessert to split. It was a vanilla mousse with soft, warm caramel at the bottom and topped with berries. My apologizes for the photo but it was so yummy we devoured it.
After dog day, we headed straight for French Creek State Park for a hike. We did a low impact 2 miles and walked all of it. Colby loves hikes, in fact we don’t keep her on a leash and she thinks it’s fantastic. When we got home, Ron and I were tired. I think Colby was beyond tired. I was in need of some greens, especially since my lunch was not a nutritional superstar. I blended up a green monster. My monster contained: 1 cup skim milk, 2 tablespoons flax oil, 2 big handfuls of spinach, 2 tablespoons white chocolate peanut butter, 1 teaspoon raw honey. Yum!
I hate when I wake up hungry and have no idea what I want. That has happened to me over the past two days. Blerg. This morning, I decided to just eat a huge apple to end the starving part and maybe go get a huge iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. The pictures are focused more on Colby because she loves apples. She even eats the cores when I am done. She is sitting all patient waiting for me to finish so she can nibble on the apple. I am so bummed that tomorrow we have to take her to a kennel. I am going to miss her while we are in Boston. But today is fun day for her. We’re going to Dog Days at a local park and then might do a short little hike in French Creek State Park. I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!
Tonight, I am not feeling very well. Thankfully, we had already planned for Ron to make his world famous grilled leg of lamb with homemade apple mint jelly. We served it with a side salad and mashed red potatoes. This is my plate and I ate none of the potato and doubled up on the salad. Thanks for cooking, honey!
