Friday Warm Fuzzies: 2/15

Happy Friday!

 

Whew.  Another week almost done.  Even though it's supposed to be cold in North Carolina, I'm looking forward to a fun weekend.  Here's what I'm pumped about...

 

1.  Belated Valentine's Day dinner date with R: tonight R and I are going to a restaurant we've heard great things about and have wanted to try for a while.  I can't wait!  It should be a nice, intimate dinner, and I'm really looking forward to it!

 

2.  Tomorrow morning I'm headed to Pure Barre after not going for almost 2 weeks [ran out of classes, couldn't cough up money to buy a new block of classes].  Cannot wait to get the lift tone and burn on!

 

3. Then tomorrow night we're having some friends over for dinner before heading out to a new {to us} bar called C Grace.  I'm not sure what I'm going to cook yet... probably something easy like pasta with vodka sauce.  I've done a good deal of experimenting in the kitchen this week, and I've been really enjoying it, so I'm going to play it by ear.  Here are some of my creations from the week:

authentic linguine carbonara... egg, thick bacon, parmesan, pepper.  YUM! Used this recipe.

swiss cake roll cake for R on Valentine's day... followed this recipe, but wouldn't recommend it-- cake came out dry.  At least it looked cute?

 

4.  Lazy Sunday without much to do:  Looking forward to having nothing planned Sunday.  I plan on using it to relax, get some stuff done around the house, and do my long run.

 

And that's about it!  Hope you have a great weekend!
