Welcome to the weekend, my mates! I’m planning to get out for a stroll, learn my guide, cook dinner and {photograph} some new dishes, and work on a puzzle with my boys. Nothing too thrilling for anybody else, nevertheless it all sounds pretty to me proper now. I hope that your weekend is full of a lot of your favourite issues too!

Mock apple pie started as a thrifty method to make a candy deal with from pantry staples within the late 1800s. I served this pie to my husband just a few nights in the past and he beloved it. The look on his face was priceless after I later instructed him there was no fruit in it. The flavour is harking back to a mixture of pecan pie and apple pie and the entire household agrees it’s scrumptious.
What I’m CRAVING: My good friend Christi’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. These cookies are a number of the finest I’ve ever tasted. I’ve talked about them right here earlier than, nevertheless it bears repeating as a result of they’re FANTASTIC. (I’m pretty sure that these cookies performed a component in how rapidly Christi’s husband Rick fell in love along with her.)
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these reusable grocery baggage. I found this 10-pack of luggage the opposite day and I’ve to inform you, I wasn’t anticipating a lot. However it seems they’re nice! They’re greater than I assumed they’d be they usually maintain a LOT. I prefer to maintain just a few tote baggage in my automobile for random issues I’m transporting, not simply groceries. (i.e. a cease on the used bookstore that ends in an armload of books or for storage sale finds.)
I really like that the baggage can be found in stable black (versus so many brilliant colours and patterns) and that the straps are lengthy sufficient to hold the bag in your shoulder. And at about $2 a bag, this was a screaming deal.
What I’m READING: Paper and Hearth (The Nice Library Ebook 2) by Rachel Caine. These YA books have a draw that I can’t resist. The concept that there could be a world the place books and their contents are topic to a better authority stopping entry to their info is nightmarish for any bibliophile or guide lover. Whereas this wasn’t my favourite guide within the sequence, it ended with an amazing cliffhanger that drew me straight into the third guide as rapidly as I used to be capable of obtain it.
What I’m LISTENING to: Treasured Recollections by Alan Jackson. Generally the previous hymns are the one reward music I wish to hearken to. And this album is ideal for these occasions. (My mom is probably going studying this and grinning on the thought that I’m listening to and having fun with so many aged hymns. You by no means would’ve caught them on my playlist as a youthful grownup.) The tune “Within the Backyard” brings me to tears nearly each time it performs. What a present our Jesus is, my mates.
“Belief in him always, O folks; pour out your coronary heart earlier than him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8 ESV
