rainy weekends are good for the soul

 So for the last couple weekends have been pretty lazy and pretty wonderful. 

Last weekend Anthony and I met up with a couple friends at casino (tacky I know) but they had a free whiskey tasting and we had to go. We even enjoyed geriatric hour at the local piano bar. it was a hoot! We checked out Body Worlds at the Science Center. It was so fascinating to see and I would highly recommended anyone to go see it. We then went to Postino's Wine Cafe for lunch. I AM completely hooked on this restaurant! Great food, Great service, and Great drinks! Everything on the menu is wonderful!!

after we indulged

i love this can! oh and my Peach
Bellini 

This weekend we chose to not leave the house at all! 

One due to my lovely little chest pains giving me a signal that I should probably relax a bit and the rainy weather that just makes you want to wear sweatpants, a hoodie, and cuddle up in bed with the one you love. We watched movies like "The Social Network", "Peep Show", and even "The Ugly Truth". I'm such a sucker for romantic comedies. ALL of them! but you need to eat when your being a total couch potato so I cooked off and on made some yummy goodies. 

for breakfast I made Nutella French Toast with Fruit.

For snacks and desert: Lemon Drop Cupcakes
So yummy!

Chicken and Apple Sausages with  Terra chips and a nice cold beer.

for dinner i took inspiration from my favorite two types of bruschetta from Postino's.
I made prosciutto, fig jam, Brie spread, and pistachio panini's
with a spinach salad, lightly sprinkles with more pistachios & balsamic vinegar.


YUM!
