Happy President's Day everyone! This weekend has definitely been full of events and I am very thankful for the extra day off this week as it seems I'm battling some sort of allergies already. I really shouldn't be surprised since we basically went from Fall to late Spring in San Diego and are trying to bypass Winter all together, much to my annoyance. So basically, everything that does bloom, is in bloom. Even the fruitless plum that we just pruned last month has flowers on it!
Saturday I headed out to Borrego Springs, CA to hike Hellhole Canyon with a hiking group from my work. You guys, it was HOT. Like 90* with no shade hot. I was definitely happy to have my camel pack and extra water on hand because I drank 110+ ounces in those four hours! The reward of this hike was supposed to be a 20 foot waterfall but due to the drought, it was smaller than expected. Still pretty, but small. Most of the hike was through sand and so it was similar to walking on the beach with a steady increase in elevation and minus the ocean breeze and water to cool yourself off with. The last 1/4 of the hike was more rock climbing than anything else
Then on Sunday morning at about 1:30 AM, someone smashed into the brand new fence I was so excited to tell you guys about last friday. Yep, not even up for 72 hours and it's destroyed. I'm pretty astonished that someone could cause such destruction to someone's property and not take even the least amount of responsibility for their actions. But then again, people who drive drunk probably aren't the most responsible to begin with. We are grateful that the fence was the only thing destroyed in all of this and are hopeful that our homeowner's insurance will cover the repair costs. Looks like our small business fence guy isn't quite done with us yet!
If you've made it through all of that rambling I imagine you came to see what's for dinner this week and I'd hate to disappoint! Here's what's on our menu:
Sunday: Semi-Homemade Chicken Pot Pies with Kale Salad
Monday: Homemade Spaghetti with this sauce and these Meatballs but with Turkey instead of Beef (sorry Sam!) Garlic Bread and Salad. Ronzoni makes a spaghetti that is enriched with carrots, tomatoes and spinach that we like to use.
Tuesday: Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wraps We have ours on spinach wraps instead of lettuce and add just a little blue cheese dressing to the hot sauce before mixing with the shredded chicken.
Wednesday: Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Thursday: BLT's with Fruit Salad
Friday: Dinner out
What's for dinner in your house?
Have a wonderful week!
