What else did I do? Oh fun stuff like steam cleaned the kitchen and bathroom floors, turned a pile of coins into the coinstar machine for credit on my Starbuck's card. I went for a couple of nice walks, for dinner Saturday I made these yummy Mexican Meat Muffins (sounds like a south of the border male stripper group, The Mexican Meat Muffins) I BBQ'd corn to serve with it, cut it off the cob and sprinkled with Cotija Cheese, Elote Style. The weather has been perfect this weekend so I put everything in my super cool bento box and took it to the lake by my house for a cheap change of scenery.
I would have liked to have hit the beach but I'm trying to conserve gas (i.e. save $$$) for my upcoming NYC trip. A lot of the trip is paid for (flight, hotel, the makeover, the shopping spree) but food, taxis, subways, my coffee habit, I want to go to the top of the Empire State Building haven't done that since I was a kid, going to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island will add up so... we're eating meals created from pantry/freezer digs, using up all the veggies and fresh stuff, and making no unnecessary trips.
No more Amazing Race so tonight it's DVD night "Leap Year" Love this movie. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. It's the cutest love story, great scenery. It's a total chick flick though so watch it with girlfriends or daughters (it's clean, PG, 2 or 3 kissing scenes that's all), I'm making another batch of Fluff Stuff (new flavor) for dessert, and downloading some tunes on the Ipod for the plane.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
