Welcome to the weekend, my associates! I’m planning to get out for a stroll, learn my ebook, prepare dinner and {photograph} some new dishes, and work on a puzzle with my boys. Nothing too thrilling for anybody else, but it surely all sounds pretty to me proper now. I hope that your weekend is stuffed with a lot of your favourite issues too!

Mock apple pie started as a thrifty solution to make a candy deal with from pantry staples within the late 1800s. I served this pie to my husband a number of nights in the past and he liked it. The look on his face was priceless once I later instructed him there was no fruit in it. The flavour is paying homage to a mix of pecan pie and apple pie and the entire household agrees it’s scrumptious.
What I’m CRAVING: My buddy Christi’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. These cookies are among the greatest I’ve ever tasted. I’ve talked about them right here earlier than, but it surely bears repeating as a result of they’re FANTASTIC. (I’m pretty sure that these cookies performed a component in how shortly Christi’s husband Rick fell in love together with her.)
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these reusable grocery baggage. I came across this 10-pack of luggage the opposite day and I’ve to inform you, I wasn’t anticipating a lot. But it surely seems they’re nice! They’re larger than I assumed they’d be and so they maintain a LOT. I wish to preserve a number of tote baggage in my automobile for random issues I’m transporting, not simply groceries. (i.e. a cease on the used bookstore that leads to an armload of books or for storage sale finds.)
I like that the luggage can be found in strong black (versus so many brilliant colours and patterns) and that the straps are lengthy sufficient to hold the bag in your shoulder. And at about $2 a bag, this was a screaming deal.
What I’m READING: Paper and Hearth (The Nice Library E-book 2) by Rachel Caine. These YA books have a draw that I can’t resist. The concept there is perhaps a world the place books and their contents are topic to the next authority stopping entry to their info is nightmarish for any bibliophile or ebook lover. Whereas this wasn’t my favourite ebook within the collection, it ended with a terrific cliffhanger that drew me straight into the third ebook as shortly as I used to be in a position to obtain it.
What I’m LISTENING to: Valuable Recollections by Alan Jackson. Typically the outdated hymns are the one reward music I wish to take heed to. And this album is ideal for these instances. (My mom is probably going studying this and grinning on the thought that I’m listening to and having fun with so many elderly hymns. You by no means would’ve caught them on my playlist as a youthful grownup.) The track “Within the Backyard” brings me to tears virtually each time it performs. What a present our Jesus is, my associates.
“Belief in him always, O individuals; pour out your coronary heart earlier than him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8 ESV
