Meandering Mondays: Around Here

Hello everyone. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do my Monday post at all today. I woke up to some very serious news that has taken up the majority of my day. Fortunately, it's on its way to being worked out and I can finish up this post!


On my reading pile: I finally got An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler. So excited to dive into it! Also reading A Truth Universally Acknowledged: 33 Great Writers on why we read Jane Austen.

On my tv: Part 2 of BBC's The Hollow Crown Henry IV, and Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations re-runs on Netflix.

On the menu this week: 

Monday: I won't be home to cook tonight. Going out with my best friends, Kelsey and Alyssa!

Tuesday: Spaghetti. Not sure how I'm going to do it up though.

Wednesday: Pasta Fagioli soup (with chicken for Luis).

Thursday: Luis specifically requested my garlic parmesan crusted chicken and potatoes again.

Friday: Probably pizzas...

Saturday: Sweet potato cream pasta with crispy kale.

On my to-do list: Cleaning the bedroom, dishes, more dealing with my college financial aid situation, working on my thesis information. 

What I am creating: I'm starting on a little project for our one year anniversary that's coming up August 14!

Tips and Tricks: The only advice I can give today is to save every penny you have/make. You never know when something unexpected is going to require your financial attention. SAVE! 

Looking around my house: Luis is napping on the floor, the AC is blasting, and Kiki is staring out the window, possibly imagining how to get out and capture the bird that is taunting her. 

From the camera: I bought this ice cream mostly because it had Jimmy Fallon's face on it. Also, the presence of salted caramel and potato chip chunks dipped in fudge....!
