Ah, the start of a new week yet again.
Things to come in the days ahead:
And now, for a recap...
Last week was nothing but thesis, but I got a bit of respite over the weekend after finishing a thesis draft. So, what to do? Tea party!
These are samplings of what I made... 1) Top left is the spread in its totality. 2) Immediately next to it are blueberry scones (made with dried blueberries). I also baked blueberry/pecan, and cranberry ones. They were all very delicious, if I may say so myself (thanks to my mom for the amaaazing recipe). 3) Onion/chive cream cheese and smoked salmon with a caper on mini rye toasts- tiny, tiny bites that were vraiment les amuses-bouches (major kudos to Lilz for making those!!!). 4) Mint-butter cucumber sandwiches. I whipped softened butter and mint together in a blender, spread on white bread, added a dash of salt, and layered sliced cucumber on top. 5) Lastly, we have melon and prosciutto, hand crafted by none other than Adam.
To drink, we had lemonade (thanks Trader Joe's) to which I added fresh mint. We also drank mango black iced tea, montagne d'or iced tea, and mimosas (or champagne mixed with lemonade).
It was really fun, and I wish I could do it every weekend :)
This morning, there was the usual La Mais soccer game. We were low on players so I got some playing action. I successfully passed the ball. HOORAY! I also successfully tripped over myself. I ran too quickly for my own good that the top half of my body almost flipped over the bottom half. Or something like that.
Time is going quickly.. weekends are passing by like they're absolutely nothing, and each one is packed with so much going on. I'm definitely trying to enjoy the last bits of school while I can. I don't want it to end.
Here's to a good week~
