Saturday was a little low key with 3 separate trips to a grocery store. Kroger for some ingredients for the gazpacho - made with the tomatoes and cucumbers from our garden. Yummy! While that was resting we made a run to Costco for some other essentials for the grilling adventure we were going to have later - fresh ground hamburgers!! The third and final trip was to Harris Teeter for the required lamb shoulder.
Glamor shots of the tomatoes before
All chopped and ready to be pureed
Finished product - MMM gazpacho
Freshly ground goodness
Almost ready!!
Perfection! Cheddar, burger, little guac, little mayo. Heaven on a bun!
I spent Sunday cleaning and doing laundry. I made a quick trip to the gym and then on to Home Goods where I finally found chairs for my kitchen table that I was willing to pay for. To Paint or not to paint? Paint. Silver like the ones that failed so miserably? Or multiple colors - pink, orange, green and yellow. Keep in mind that my table is blue.I also found a Chinese guardian lion/Fu lion/ Fu dog who I really, really want and think he'd make a great addition to my apartment but I couldn't rationalize spending $80 on him :( I'll keep checking back and maybe find him on clearance. Or I'll just wait and get a totally awesome pair. I need more space.
We've booked our flights and the hotel for Boston!! I'm so excited... Just one month to go. I will be counting down and researching where to go and what to eat. So far we have at least one Red Sox game (Saturday), the Museum of Fine Art is having a Monet, Renoir, Whistler exhibit: "Mad on Color", Eron wants to visit the Science Museum and I think we'll be visiting Upstairs on the Square for Sunday brunch. I'm a planner... we've been over this.
I have no idea what's on the agenda for this week. Let's just hope it goes fast!!

Hey! I painted those silver chairs for you and they were fine until a certain unnamed person put his useless 2 Cents in and made them sticky!
Paint the new ones - otherwise they'll just get dirty. I vote for SILVER! and keep in mind the color can always change - oh ad they have a really neat gadget out there for paint cans --- saves your poor pushing finger!
