weekend on a budget
Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 5:06PM Christian and I are trying to minimize expenses these days. Christian starts work again at the end of this month and let's just say... thank god. Anyway, what better budget meal than Taco Night?!
To make Taco Night interesting I used some of the fun TripTrap things we got for our wedding and Christmas. Hey, we're classy.
See that delicious guacamole? That is my friend Kayte's kick-a$$ guacamole. It's seriously delicious. I think in this batch I was too generous with the dollop of sour cream but it was still scrumptious as ever. My lovely LIBBY made us a recipe book as a wedding present and this page (while it's still Kayte's recipe) gets a lot of use in our house!
Saturday I went to school and learned that I successfully passed "Module 3" and am now starting Module 4 of 5. I should be all finished up and to the final big exam this November/December. Hooray. How to celebrate?
We had a dinner party at my favorite colleague's house and he made the most amazing food. It's one way to eat really well on a budget - find yourself some dinner invitations! ;) No but Thomas made asparagus with hollandaise sauce and poached quail eggs as a starter. (Yes, I Jillian Michelle ate quail eggs) Delicious! For dinner we had a roast beef from the grill and homemade french fries. For desert some gourmet vanilla ice cream with a homemade strawberry puree and chocolate. All accompanied by delicious cocktails and wine.
Wine, asparagus, steak, french fries and ice cream - I was in HEAVEN! Well done Thomas, WELL DONE! Only wish I took pictures!
Today, my husband actually agreed to let me cut his hair. I've offered it jokingly for over a month now as the situation has become out of control. Now, I'm not going to lie to you... I am not a professional and there were a few "oops" but all in all he doesn't look like a total frankenstein and he did not resolve to shaving his head completely afterwards.
I'm pretty proud of it and I think it has what I would call... character. HAHA.
What ever will we occupy ourselves with next weekend? ;)
