I have to say, I had a pretty eventful weekend. It started off on Friday, when I had to call out sick to work and ended up at the ER with a pretty awful upper respiratory infection and a middle ear infection. Luckily, it wasn’t that bad and I was let go to spend the whole day at rest and medicated.
Saturday, I attended a dog adoption fair and got my first foster dog. He’s the sweetest and most well-behaved dog you’ll ever meet. All he does is sleep!
I was feeling a lot better on Sunday and we decided to put a new wedding registry gadget to good use: LUNCH. I decided to make a sorpressata and mozzarella pressed sandwich.
Don’t let it’s messy presentation fool you. It tasted a lot better than it looked! If you have a sandwich maker, make sure to drizzle some olive oil onto your bread before pressing it; it gives the bread a nicer taste and it’s not as dry. We basically likened these sandwiches to Hot Pockets, but with better quality ingredients. You can make some serious damage with a sandwich press and the stuffing combinations are endless.
After lunch, I got to some gardening: started up a new green pepper plant and as well as some new basil. Unfortunately, most of my herbs died while we were away on vacation. I’m vowing to re-do my potted herb/veg garden and restore it to it’s former beauty!
Lastly, we made some BBQ’ed ribs for dinner, but I’ll post about that tomorrow.
