Weekend Roundup
Happy Monday!
Monday, March 25, 2013
Some highlights from my weekend:
1. I tried a new recipe, Lemon-Caper Salmon with Greek Yogurt - probably one of the easiest I've made in a while! The Recipe Review will go up Friday for this one.
2. Brunch at Five Points - I've been wanting to return to Five Points for brunch ever since I went last time, and we finally went this weekend! My sister and I shared the fries, lemon ricotta pancakes, and sausage benedict, all of which was amazing. I highly recommend the pancakes if you ever go, and I'm not even a fan of sweets in general! They're the perfect texture and just so delicious.
3. A few of us went to the Big British Invite - it was so much fun! We got manis (I'm obsessed with mine, bottom right corner.), had champagne, mimosas, dumplings, cheese, (and I tried haggis for the first time...I'm kinda glad I didn't know what it was before I ate it, but it really just tasted like sausage to me.), and an "afternoon tea". Check out the Windsor Castle & Big Ben made entirely of chocolate and candy, photo 4! And gorgeous Liberty scarves, photo 5; fun wallpaper in the afternoon tea section, photo 6; and the cutout heart wall looking in to the mani stations, photo 7.
4. Finally watched Skyfall last night - made a British day of it and all. It reminded me of a grown up Home Alone (those of you who've seen it - wouldn't you agree?) haha.
All in all, I wish I could go visit England and see my friends there soon! Haven't been back since I graduated years ago, sadly.
How was your weekend??
