The Weekend

Posted on November 19, 2012April 7, 2014 by Jacky Hackett

Friday night cocktail are always a great way to start the weekend. Sparkling wine, St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) and lemon.  Tasty!

The time change and fall sky makes for a great dinner making view.

On the Saturday evening menu, homemade gyros with a Greek salad.  That view wasn’t too bad either. Very close to the real thing, easy and delicious and a lot less mysterious than the typical rotating sphere of meat.

Sunday morning my husband took over the kitchen to make pumpkin waffles.  Yummy stuff, good thing I had a run planned.  Speaking of, it was harder than I though it would be, my legs needed some convincing.  I did manage 5 miles.

Oh and more pumpkin, Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Kiss Blossoms.  These are sooooo flippin’ good!  Great suggestion Jilly.

A winning weekend!

    Okay, I need to get a waffle maker so my husband can make me waffles on the weekend! 😀

    I am totally going to try that gyros – sans the onions of course – ha!!

      Oh, you have it pretty good in the husband breakfast making department! The gyros were really good, hope you try it. I bet you could sub zucchini for the onions.

        That’s a good idea! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I didn’t hit my 35 minute 5k goal at lunch today – still at 35:12 – so close!

    You have such a good husband-wife 🙂

    That cocktail looks amazing.
