Weekend Re-Cap: Spring is in the Air

This past week, the temperatures finally started to rise just in time for the first day of spring.  Due to a combination of the cold and wet weather, along with some major personal stresses going on, I've been keeping a low profile on the social scene but this weekend couldn't have been any more different.  Here are highlights of this past fabulous weekend:

  • On Friday night, B and I both went to our respective gyms and then decided to stay in for a quiet date night - pizza and a movie.  We ordered a yummy salad and a ginormous pizza from Hot Tomatoes, a place we've never tried before.  Um, delicious.  The roasted garlic on their pizza was out of this world and they offer free delivery.  I'm definitely putting Hot Tomatoes on our list of go-to delivery places.  We also snuggled up to the movie Sunshine Cleaning.  Normally Amy Adams bugs me beyond belief but she was really great in this.
  • On Saturday, I spent most of the day with my friend E who has been a real rock for me lately.  We started the morning off with pedicures (hello OPI Strawberry Margarita) and then shopping in the Back Bay.  
  • When I got home, I decided to try a new recipe out for KK's birthday pre-party - mini bacon and cheese toasts!  I threw a half pound of cheddar cheese (cubed), one small white onion (roughly chopped) and two slices of smoky bacon (also roughly chopped) in the food processor and pulse until it makes a thick paste.  You put a generous spread on a toast point, broil it for six minutes and done!  



  • After a few generous toasts of champagne at the pre-party, we were off to the Grand Canal for an often wobbly (I was rocking new heels) but always fun evening.  Happy birthday (again) to my fabulous friend and partner-in-crime, Kim!

  • On Sunday, I spent most of the day recovering from the previous evening.  I had long standing plans to attend the Kimchi Festival in West Roxbury.  To be nice, I'll say it was interesting.  That's it.  We also ran into my pregnant and ever-fabulous friend J, grabbed a slice at Upper Crust for lunch, and ordered from Comella's takeout for dinner that night.  

All in all, a perfect weekend.  Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend as I did!
xoxo
