San Giuseppe
This weekend has been relatively low key, and also without kids. Derek is with his dad, and Ben spent the day with my in-laws as the went to visit my father-in-law's mother. She has never met Ben, so it was nice that she got to spend some time with him. S and I went out to breakfast, and then spent an exciting day of doing the taxes and laundry. To be honest, it was really boring without the kids around.
We then went shopping at Whole Foods, and had lunch there as well. We managed to not break the bank either, which was a first for any shopping trip at that store. This particular Whole Foods has a beer/wine bar, so we had a beer after we were done shopping. If only every shopping experience ended that way.
We went to church tonight, and met up with my in-laws and Ben. He was pretty wound up after spending most of the day in the car, so we sat up the choir loft and gave him some room to run around. After mass was over, we went out to dinner, at a restaurant in Philly we haven't been to in a while. I had pork ribs in a tamarind barbecue sauce, with some Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and cornbread. After we got home, S wasn't feeling well, so she went to bed early. I wasn't all that tired, so I decided to look up recipes for cream puffs. St. Joseph's feast day was yesterday, and I can remember my mother making them on St. Joseph's day. So now I'm making cream puffs and watching Old School. I'll make the filling tomorrow, but at least the shells will be already done. Just another Saturday night in the neighborhood.
