Waiting for the Weekend












Every week I anticipate the weekend. Coming off of vacation and being so tired the entire week I was looking forward to the weekend even more. When Friday finally rolled around I was determined to have a relaxing couple of days.
On Friday night the cow and I picked up a pizza from "It's A Wonderful Pizza" on Belmont. We bought the large so we could have leftovers the next morning but that damn pizza had so much GARLIC on it that I thought we were going to die. We watched the movie Office Space and laughed until our bellies hurt.
Saturday morning we slept for a very long time and then walked to Pauls Market on Hawthorne to pick up the produce for the week. I love this place. Most of the fruits and vegetables are brought from the farmer directly to Pauls Tent Market. The Columbia area pears are so sweet they can take the place of a candy bar. On our walk to Pauls we noticed a house on the corner of Yamhill and 28th that has been being restored. There is a for sale sign out front and this place is fabulous. It is awaiting a paint job on the exterior but the interior is almost finished. We have been unable to find the price but if anyone wants to live 2 blocks from us I will investigate for you.
Saturday afternoon Tam was taking a nap by the fire while we read our books. It was sprinkling outside and she loves the warmth of the fireplace without getting too close.
Saturday evening we were very indecisive. We finally decided to go to Burnside and 28th. We had a cheese plate and a couple of martinis and then shared a glass of white and red wine. The server was so nice that he split the glasses for us. We hopped into LaBuca for dinner and shared a really yummy risotto. We couldn't decided if we wanted to go listen to music or try a new restaurant in the NW for dessert. We ended up a Serrato with a glass of Prosecco and Gingerbread with Brandy and a Poached Pear with Creme Fraiche.
We had a very nice evening together.
