Weekend Thoughts and Fun!

Obviously, I haven't got to the point where my week days meld into the weekends, but I have to say I like having my husband around, so there is a distinct difference there in those days.  :)

My first week off consisted of nothing more than homework, some house cleaning, pleasure reading, internet surfing (both research and fun stuff) and getting started on my upcoming garage sale.

This is the mess I'll be organizing this week along with a friend who is bringing her stuff over in the next day or so.

I'll be glad to get that mess gone so we can re-organize the garage for winter and then all three car will be able to park inside the garage.

I found a couple of great recipes this week while surfing and I'm definitely trying this one for lunch one day soon because everything is better with bacon.

Egg Salad BLT 

Husband and son do not like egg salad, so this one is all mine baby!

I also decided while watching football today that I'm use up some of the basil I have growing and make pesto.   Pretty darn easy but I wish those pignoli nuts weren't so damn expensive!

BTW - 2 cups of basil makes 1 cup of pesto and you can freeze pesto if you want, just pour a little olive oil on top of the pesto before freezing.   I used this recipe from the Food Network today for the pesto Basil Pesto ,only I used parmesan cheese rather than pecorino.   Plan on trying it out tonight when we have dinner......New York strips, corn on the cob, salad with Italian bread smeared with pesto......delish!........and then after dinner.......we're going to go see The Eagles.   Can't wait and I'll post pictures later.
