Unplugged | Green Dog Wine

Why hello fabulous friends!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Sorry for no post yesterday, and being MIA for the past 24 hours – I decided I should just unplug this weekend, and step away from all things “computer”! I missed you, but it was a great decision!

Saturday morning I got up and did my training run with Kristin OUTDOORS! This January thaw is a god send, I can’t wait for spring because running on the treadmill on snowy days is the worst punishment I can imagine! (I know, SOOO dramatic over here! )

Breakfast when I got home: No, not a bowl full of egg – look closer… There’s spicy oats hiding under there After breakfast, I headed out with my friend Angelina to do some shopping – which included stopping here: More on that in another post!

Saturday night – we’d been invited up to my parent’s Lake House – and since it’s only an hour drive, and a nice change of pace – we happily accepted!

We brought some appetizers, and broke them out the second we walked in the door: Oh yeah – and of course of Sauv Blanc too! The highlight of the appetizers, in my opinion…

Some cheese Angelina and I had purchased down at the Westside Market!

On the left, some AWESOME smokey cheddar, on the right, some tangy Irish whiskey cheddar (It was no Kerrygold, but it was good!) I decided to be nice and make dinner for everyone (it was the least I could do, right?) – I decided on the Roast Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers from this month’s Cooking Light (click dish title for recipe or check out pg. 78!) :grin

Finished chicken: Finished peppers: Salad, a la Mama: All together: A placemat on GDW?!?!?! That’s unheard of! 1.17 033 3 out of 4 “Radar” ears – they use it to know when to beg for food! The rest of the night was spent chatting, enjoying each other’s company, and playing some SERIOUS games of Boggle: These two found game playing far less enjoyable/interesting than meal time: More Boggle-ing: More sleeping: 1.17 046 This was JUST the sort of Saturday that I needed!

Last – I have to show you my “battle wounds” from game playing (do you think I was just a LITTLE paranoid about other’s trying to cheat?!)

To be honest, I went a little nuts being away from the comp for 6 1/2 hours yesterday–not going to lie LOL. But looks like a fun time, and I want to know what was in that box!
