Hello, Saturday

Hubby and youngest are off to Canada for a ski trip. Me and the pups home. Garden prep on the agenda -- and just a long day at home. Hubby was up at 4 o'clock so I got up too. That's a lot of day ahead without much planned. Not that I'm complaining. It's another all day rain though. Next week's weather looks better for outside stuff. I'm looking forward to it.

I tried the new (to me) restaurant yesterday. It was good. Peruvian foods all GF and DF. Lots of vegan options too. I had a nice time with my friend. I got a vegan pizza, warm chai (homemade) and a chicha. I also tried a pumpkin and coconut bread -- it wasn't sweet. The drinks were good, but both were a little too sweet. Everything is made from scratch and the owner was really nice. It's 45 minutes away so not a regular stop for me, but I'll definitely keep it in mind when I'm headed that way.


Chicha -- traditional
Peruvian drink with purple corn



My friend has a big book collection she's getting rid off. This is her favorite author so she gave me a bunch of the paperbacks to read and add to LFL. She has first edition hardbacks as collectables which she's keeping or selling. I've never read (or heard of) this author. Stay tuned -- I'll give one a read soon.





Library read. Author of Rizzoli and Isles. This is an earlier book, I think, because jacket doesn't mention this in her list of other accomplishments. It's good. I like her writing and the stories are always very researched and feel medically detailed. Learned author is an MD too and you can tell.





I'm upping my sock game. Most of my socks have holes and apparently sock fashion shifted. It's all about showing your socks again and pairing patterns with your outfit. Look at me trying to be on trend at the moment of the trend. Buying these wool socks are expensive, but supposedly last a lot longer. My inexpensive socks get holes after a month or so -- we'll see if these have any lasting power. It's fun to look for patterned socks.




That's all from here. Happy Saturday. Later gators and bots.
