Tuna Helper one evening:
And warm salad another:
We've been looking forward to this long weekend for a long time, and made sure we were prepared for it. On Wednesday we cleaned the house, and on Thursday after work we went to alllllll the little specialty food shops to pick up supplies.
Some of the goodies we picked up. |
We shared one of these cupcakes for dessert:
As soon as work was done yesterday we were in celebration mode! Christopher is celebrating some good news at work, and I am celebrating the start of my summer holidays. To celebrate we wanted to do very little, and just enjoy and relax with snacks.
I came home to these beautiful flowers - awwwwe!
Once Christopher was home we plated all the snacks and headed straight for the yard. We brought some tunes out with us too of course.
I was mostly digging into the two truffle cheeses we bought from Takeaway Gourmet, which are both incredible, and Christopher was eating this stinky, disgusting looking blue (he loved it though):
The entire night was spent in the yard, and once it got late we fired up the BBQ to warm up a smoked turkey leg, which we shared.
It was a great start to what should be a fantastic, fun-filled long weekend, and a beautiful summer!
What are you up to this weekend?
Do you shop at specialty food shops sometimes? Or mostly stick to the grocery store?
