my weekend in food

This past weekend was filled with lots of yummy food. Some good for me, some definitely not.

The boy simply HAD to have a Simpson’s pink sprinkle donut from 7-11, so we split one late Friday night.

And Saturday we were lured to Dairy Queen in order to try their new Waffle Bowl cones, which were super overrated & way too sweet. I mean, seriously too sweet.

We attended a vegetarian birthday potluck Saturday evening where we sorta made up for our previous gluttony with delicious veggie cuisine, including my contribution, a cucumber & couscous summer salad. I added a can of chickpeas to the recipe found here.

And Sunday morning I made whole wheat French toast & used up the last of my peaches in a delicious uncooked compote.

In non-food news, I cannot stop listening to Bishop Allen’s latest album, The Broken String. It is some serious goodness.

Some serious cuteness is Dahlia trying to distract me from a large consignment order!

everything’s coming up cute

What, with the free passes to a screening of Eagle vs Shark we scored for last night, the new site I’ll be doing consignment with [adorkable crafts] and the awesome new shirt from the small object that I wore yesterday (& today), everything seems to be coming up cute.

Using some basil left over from a friends’ organic produce box, I made some yummy basil simple syrup inspired by ch’s recently posted herbed syrups tutorial. I’m sampling it right now in my iced tea – it’s delicious – while the rest continues to soak in the fridge.

Oh, and I’m unabashedly borrowing this link from whipup.net, check out Threadbanger’s Top 10 Geekiest Yarn Creations on the Web – babies in crocheted Yoda hats.
