A Week in My Life: Week 21

I've decided to move these posts up to Fridays instead of posting them on Saturday. Here's what the past week looked like:

Luis and I actually spent quite a lot of time at various beaches this week. The weather has been perfect, and we're taking advantage of my time off before I start working full-time. On a side note, Life of Pi is amaaaazing.

 

I got pretty sunburned... 

Downtown Kenosha is such a photogenic city! I love this...

 

I love old signs like this. On another note, I really want to go see a production at this theater!

Does anyone else's cat sleep on their back like this? Is this normal? Poor thing, her fur hasn't completely grown back in after her surgery.

We had one really rainy day this week, so I whipped up some (gluten-free) French toast! Yummm.

I don't know why but this Jimmy John's delivery guy really made us laugh. Not only was he speeding like crazy, but it was funny to see the sandwiches chilling in the little basket as he zoomed by. Freaky fast... 

I made some crazy-good pasta this week. It was the perfect balance of warmth and nuttiness (I love that word).

Tonight starts most of the graduation celebrations for Carthage College! So I'm heading to their New Alumni Convocation and Promenade dinner tonight. I can't believe it's done. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

A Week in My Life: Week 8

I have been kind of M.I.A. on this blog lately. But never fear, I'm back and ready to go.
Here's what the past week looked like:

Obsessing over the pattern of our new IKEA pillow. 

I made my first batch of gluten-free cornbread!

I hope I can find the time to explore some more gluten-free recipes this week.  

Where there is one, the other is sure to be close by... Can you spot the second?

Knocked out by her antibiotics... she's been one sick animal. 

Red frames really cheer me up. So do the photos inside. 

Fried platanos (plantains): the epitome of deliciousness. 

In other food news, these g-free waffles were amazing! I just happened to see them out of the corner of my eye because they weren't with the rest of the gluten-free items at the grocery store. 

New issue of bon appetit and a hearty dinner of buttermilk garlic mashed 'taters, roast chicken and mushrooms sauteed in red wine. 

Working girl. 

Luis and I flew to St. Petersburg, Florida, for the wedding of his best friend. I had some pistachio gelato while waiting for our flight at 9 am... It was worth it. 

 We stayed in a beautiful apartment building while in Florida. I could have gotten used to that!

 I kept seeing these beautiful flowers everywhere.

Relaxing during some down-time. 

I would really love to go back and have more time to explore this place. I love antique theaters. 

 Crappy cell-phone picture of the St. Petersburg marina from their Yacht Club.

I love this photo. It's a view looking into the street from inside the open hallways of the apartment building.

Cocktail party during the wedding. I'm always taller than him in my heels.

Fast dancing! Needless to say, it was a great week!
