My daughter had her first sleepover last night. We thought everyone would be tuckered out after running around at a super fun indoor playground in the afternoon and staying up past their bedtime to watch Peter Pan but they giggled and chatted until almost 11 (well past my bedtime!), then were up with the birds before 6 this a.m.
Before 6! On a Sunday! It’s not like they had a flight to catch or chickens to feed.
Where do they get their energy?
Yay, cucumbers are in season! These easy refrigerator pickles take all of 15 minutes to make and keep for about a month.
One of our neighbours has a cute sense of humour.
(If this was our yard the signs would say “WEEDS” and “DIRT”. What would your signs say?)
I’m well stocked with books for the summer thanks to recent freebies and contest wins. Penguin Books sent me these two new releases when I became a blogger’s 5,000th Twitter follower.
I’ve also won Romance is My Day Job, Listen to the Squawking Chicken, The One and Only, Jason Priestley’s memoir, and Unbridled.
What’s on your summer reading list?
Last week I tried my first recipe from Sweet Paul Eat & Make, this zucchini salad with goat cheese.
If you think it looks a lot like my strawberry spinach salad, you’re right. I used the rest of the spinach, goat cheese and walnuts I had from this one to make that one.
Both were delicious!
Made your Strawberry Spinach salad, with lemon juice as the dressing, for a pot luck dinner. The good thing was everybody loved it. The bad thing was, there were no left overs to bring home. 🙂
Highly recommended and the recipe was shared. YUMMY
I’m so glad to hear! Thank for letting me know how it went over. 🙂
