[2018] 186/365: Sleeping with Rizzo
I’ve been so busy at work today I have no pictures whatsoever. Luckily I have this throwback picture of Rizzo and I asleep a couple of nights ago at Scruffy’s. I like how we’re cuddled up with one another asleep and delighted to find this when I woke up.
[2018] 185/365: Homemade Pizzas
Sissy, BIL and some of Scruffy’s family members came over for a July 4th celebration of food, beer and conversations. We made homemade dough and some store bought ones in case they failed. Overall everyone had a good time creating their own pizzas.
Ashy smoked some meat as well and the chicken was ON POINT this time. Everyone seemed to like the ribs but it wasn’t smokey enough for me.
We played a couple of games before we called it a night and I headed home. I’m dreading having to drive downtown especially with all the rain. Hopefully it won’t flood.
Since it was Tuesday, no free breakfast, I went and grabbed my own at Corner Bakery. I was genuinely surprised that they didn’t put salt on the eggs which is a great plus for me. Funny story: one of the ladies at the place bought What-a-Burger and her manager made her put it in a Corner Bakery bag because it obviously looks bad to customers to see their own employees eating food from other places. But seriously? Who can eat the same thing every day?!
I went to Scruffy’s after work to start my July Fourth Festivities which is pretty much relaxing until tomorrow. I grabbed a Taro Smoothie from OG Tea when we went out to grab groceries for tomorrow.
[2018] 184/365: Pasta Dinner
Saleh came over for dinner and we’re about to play Risk. It’s been awhile since I had a pasta dinner at Scruffy’s but the real winner on this plate? The Brussels sprouts. You know, those Green Giant bags you just pop into the microwave? The salt and pepper Brussels sprouts are my favourite. Everything else is covered in butter these days so it’s great to have a different flavour. Also, the garlic bread this time was fantastic. Not too certain what they did differently but I had two! .. Or maybe I was just starving.
[2018] 183/365: Hard Waxing
Work went by pretty slow which is common when the holidays come up. It’s not that bad since we get a day off in the middle of the week but could have been better if we could have more days off, obviously.
I’m not too certain we will be swimming for the Fourth of July but since my new wax kit came in this weekend I took a stab at it today. I was a little worried that I’ll burn myself or rip off part of my skin or whatever else could go wrong but I was surprised that everything went smoothly. See what I did there? Hehe It was a little harder to do certain areas of my body by myself but practice makes perfect, right?
[2018] 182/365: Lunch Date
Scruffy and I had a lunch date at Cristobal Mexican Grill and Bar. There’s not many good food places where he lives and usually have to drive a few more miles to hit them bit I was extremely surprised how great this place was. I would skip the chicken next time and stick to the beef. Yum!
We went home and started planning our next trip. Something small since I just started my job and don’t want to ask for a week off so early. We used to go to more places but with everything going on, it’s just been harder so I’m excited.
I tried my hand in making the gluten free lasagna Scruffy made awhile back. I’m a little disappointed that it came down out pretty salty. I guess since I’m not used to using cheese I didn’t count for the salt and therefore everything is just a little too much. And still delicious and the flavor was great it’s just the salty factor. Once I figure out the best way to make this and I’ve got the recipe down, I’ll share it!
