Last Weekend ♥

A few of you requested the American flag cake recipe. I don't know what I was thinking not sharing Carolyn's link to the recipe. So here y'all go! Enjoy!

Last Friday, Sean and I had a little fun on a boat for Sean’s rugby team’s 40th celebration. It was really an excuse for old players to get together and re-live their younger days if I’m to be honest. Sean attended since he is an officer on the team but not many current players attended.

The boat was old and probably has not been updated since the 80s (maybe slight exaggeration there, maybe not). The food was not great if you could actually call it food. I had to pay for my amaretto sours since only beer, wine and soda was included in the $55 a person charge. But we had a great time! Haha, yes, I know. It was fun. We danced, we welcomed mosquito bites (I have them everywhere) and we enjoyed doing something a little different than we normally do.

Will we do it again? Yes. I’ll just cook a massive dinner before hand ;). You know me, I enjoy my food.

On Saturday we attended one of Sean’s old co-workers for his birthday party. I did not take any pictures and kinda wishing I had. Sean’s co-worker is from Peru so the menu was strictly Peruvian! SO GOOD! He had mussels/clams with a salsa of tomatoes, onions and spices and I’m telling you, I ate like 15. He also made scallops with Parmesan cheese and that was incredible. I asked for the recipe but of course I have forgotten. I’ll have to email and request it. One of the girls there brought sangria which was made with Merlot, diet cranberry juice with strawberries, peaches and some other fruit that I can’t seem to remember right now. It was delicious! Simplest sangria recipe. I’m really into sangria in the summer so I’ll be making tons.

When we left we drove to Saratoga Springs. In August, it is track season and it is the most fun. Hotel rooms are priced at the highest, even the dumpiest hotels but it’s where you want to be. They have amazing restaurants, great shopping and an awesome night life. I’m hoping we’ll do the track this summer.

We walked around a bit and ended up getting something to eat.

When we got home we laid down to watch a movie and ended up passing out. It was a long (but fun) 4 days.

On Sunday, we went to church and when we got home I made us lunch. We watched the movie Unconditional on Netflix and I highly recommend it. Such a great movie! We cleaned up the house a bit, took Izabella for a walk and then that was it. The couch, Netflix and I were best friends until it was time to go to bed for work Monday morning.
