I have not done a whole lot of things over the past week or so for fun. That is not to say that I have been in a bad place, I just have been getting things done around the house and simply trying to keep up with my daily existence. But there does seem to be a pattern of things I gravitate to first when it comes to doing something for myself that I find enjoyable. While I hope to expand on those things and do more and different things, at least I do have a few go-tos in my life.
I tried a few new recipes over the past few weeks. I made a Thai shrimp pasta dish with a pineapple cucumber salad on the side. I really enjoyed the pasta dish. I had never cooked with coconut milk before nor had I used rice noodles. I was happy with how it turned out and will make it again. The pineapple cucumber salad ended up being a big surprise. I wanted a salad to go with the pasta but something different and came upon this recipe. It was really easy and tasted so good. It's very fresh tasting, even though I did use canned pineapple. A good summer recipe.
I went to Golden Antiques on Saturday before last. It's always dangerous for me because I never leave empty handed. And that was true this trip as well. I bought a beautiful set of six glasses and a covered vegetable dish. What can I say? I'm addicted to pretty things. There are worse things in life I suppose. But I will upload pics of them soon. It was a nice trip, and I always like to support local businesses.
I have also enjoyed my morning walks this week. I never really thought about exercise as being a fun thing to do but I am slowly gravitating towards that. How I feel after I'm done is pretty exciting to me so I am hoping to keep that up. Well, that is it for me in the excitement department. I will find bliss in domestic chores this weekend I have no doubt. Mainly because I have nothing else to do LOL And no money to do it with. All in all, I am happy. Even a little fun is better than none!
