Weekend Review - Vol. 24

 June 11-12, 2022

Hey hey! How's it going? How was your weekend? We had a really fun weekend. 

On Friday I took a nice long walk with Millie to kick off the weekend. The weather was gorgeous! Then I made some delish sandwiches and a salad with produce from our first CSA box. Woo woo! I used microgreens from the box which were so good, and the salad is filled with greens from the box. I'm so excited for this year's CSA! 

Saturday, we got up and dropped Millie off for an overnight stay at her boarding facility. They always tell us how popular she is, lol. Then we got back in the car, filled up our gas (for $5.10 a gallon! wowie), and drove down to Waukegan. We picked up our friends Anna and Nick at the train station, and then we headed over to Six Flags Great America. Wa hoo!! We were excited to be back, haha. 

We had an awesome time, riding lots of coasters, getting a soft pretzel, and just enjoying walking around. It was the best day! 

We stopped at AHA Sushi in Gurnee for dinner. Yummm. We got crispy tuna rice, some sushi rolls, saucy tofu, and udon noodles. It was delicious! The crispy tuna rice was my favorite, omg. So good! We drove home and were happy to sit down! Haha. We caught a very cool rainbow on our drive home. 

Sunday was a pretty calm day. We did some usual stuff around the apartment, and then I made this beet pasta for dinner! It is based on a Tiktok from JustineSnacks. I am someone who already likes beets, so I thought this was delicious. Dan is medium on beets, and he agreed it was great! Of course, how can you go wrong with lots of parmesan cheese, haha. Paired that with a salad (both beets + salad greens were from our box!) and it was the best dinner. How was your weekend?
