lauretta jean's

lauretta jean's has given me a reason to visit the PSU farmer's market even when my csa is in full swing and i have no need to purchase veggies. just look at that slice of pie and those two chocolate sliders! just perfection.

on a side note, we found out last weekend that our cat, brain (she used to have a sister named pinky), doesn't have a bladder stone anymore! two months ago she was peeing blood everywhere. we put her on special food to dissolve the stone, knowing that it might not work. these last two months we have been crossing our fingers for her. she is a wonderful cat and we are so happy that she is healthy and going to be with us for a long time!

weekend happenings

it's memorial day weekend! here's what we are hoping to do:

-get some soil and compost to fill up these gorgeous raised beds that my husband built. i'm going to call Naomi's to see what they have.

-investigate this recipe from Baking Illustrated.

-possibly go check out Pullet Day today at Pistil's Nursery. in addition to getting the garden going, we want to build a coop and get some chickens. is there a season for chickens?

-spend some time with my newly fixed serger! (i just noticed that the knife cover is open here. hmmmm...)

-get going on some sewing projects, such as kitchen and bathroom curtains.

-have a bbq on sunday regardless of the weather.

-visit the farmer's market. i'm dying for another slice of cherry pie from Lauretta Jean's.

-oh yeah, and chill out so i can finally kick this cold that turned into a sinus infection...

it's doubtful that all of this will happen, but any combination of these things will make me happy!

have a great weekend!
