WFDT?
Pork Chops in a Raspberry vinaigrette and spinach. Not sure what I'll do about a starch. I have to stop and pick up the whipping cream and fresh rosemary at Trader Joes and if I see something I like I might get that. They do have a nice and easy mushroom risotto....
You inspired me! Last night we had grilled pork chops in a balsamic vinaigrette with corn and salad. YUM!
It's Friday night. Thank goodness this week is over.
WFDT? I caved and went with fish and chips from our local seafood shop. I know.....lots of calories but it was so delicious!
OMG! I love a good fish and chips! We have a craft brewery close by with a restaurant. Outside of a little shack on the Cape, I have never had fried fish that was so good. Now I want fish and chips for dinner, LOL!
Pio- get some rest thsi weekend so you can face the week ahead!
Well my week at work has been interesting. You know I am "the" payroll department in a very small office, so as my employer has been out networkign and bringing new clients in, I am getting busier. They all are coming in with payroll! YAY! For me but holy cow! My office looks like a bomb went off inside there! I think it is only a matter of time that I have to schedule myself for one extra day every week, and not for taking over the quickbooks service we offer our clients. Oh well.
But news on the Aruba vacation. It's a go!!!! I am so excited! Dan was able to switch his December vacation with a coworker who had our selected week off, so I approached John with my plan. He did not even blink but said GO!!!!!! We will work it all out. I told him that it was a logistical issue, and he said he was well aware of the challenges, but GO!!!!!!!! I love my job!
So, it has been 25 years since we have been to Aruba, (less for Dan and Erica, they honeymooned there and for a while used their timeshare), so some preplanning is in order. I am farming most of that out to Marisa, Erica, and Kady. Well Kady after finals. Marisa told me if I add a research project to her now her head will explode!
We did book an all inclusive with concierge level because I do not want to worry about food, beverages, or anything else. Our suite has a hot tub on the balcony, so since I have not been able to afford a bungalow at the Poly so I could watch the fireworks in my private sunken pool with my glass of wine in hand, I plan on this being the next best thing!
