This week has been moving verrrry slowly for me, but some fun stuff was sprinkled in here and there. On Sunday (after work) I mustered up some energy and the hubby and I walked to the movie theater to see Captain Phillips. It was extremely intense, and completely awesome. We're hoping we can make it to Gravity soon, too. Two movies in one week might be a record for me, since my usual pace is more like two movies a year. My attention span is not my best quality, and movies are long.
We've been eating leftovers all week, which was pretty much the plan. My husband made soup on Sunday (mushroom lentil), and we finished the last of it last night:
It was delicious (much better than our eggplant fail whale) and surprisingly filling.
We just got back from a company event, hence the title of the post. My company throws various employee appreciation events throughout the year, and I thought I'd give this one a try since a) we have no food in the fridge for dinner, b) I wanted my husband to meet my coworker and c) I spent some serious time prepping food for this party and I wanted some of the end result.
These events are always held at the same park, which is lovely:
There were food trucks, several beer tables, games and live music. Unfortunately, I'm the furthest thing from a social butterfly, and this type of situation makes me supremely uncomfortable. So we ate some of everything, said hello to the few people I knew, and peaced out.
Bratwurst with braised cabbage and potatoes:
Hard cider (I had two):
And a plate with pumpkin and sage bread pudding, eggplant schnitzel with spicy mustard and mushroom orzo:
My husband wasn't feeling the vegetarian plate and opted for a hot dog with caramelized onions, jalapenos and pinto beans:
Not bad! Better food trucks than the ones we encountered last weekend, but everyone knows I have only one true food truck love. (word on the street is they're coming to DC!)
I'm going to prep breakfast for tomorrow, do a little yoga and fall asleep. Tomorrow is my Friday, and we have lots of fun things planned for the weekend.
