This weekend (Sunday/Monday) was so beautiful that I couldn't bring myself inside! I also had a ton of errands to run, assignments to finish and food to cook to get ready for this busy week before we leave to GET MARRIED! oh yah!
Here are some of the pics I took (still with iphone- MUST find cammie before we head to beach!) of the
Sustainable Feast we went to on Sunday:
 |
| The tents were all on one of the many bridges that lead to downtown Pittsburgh- this one is the Rachel Carson bridge :) |
 |
| Sweet tomato jam, served on cracker, which I think was supposed to be bread, but they ran out! At least I got the recipe. |
 |
| Local garlic, kinda expensive, but they served hot, pickled cloves of garlic and they were super tasty! |
 |
| East End brewing company. Didn't get a sample b/c the line was too long! Oh well! |
 |
| Local bee-farmer-master(?) brought a live honeycomb with bees and flavored honeys. I tried honey infused with lavender and I regret not buying any! |
 |
| Food from a catering company that words out of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and served fresh veggies grown on their roof-top garden- pretty cool! |
We had a great time getting samples, recipes and information about CSA's. There were more food booths, but my hands were too full from carrying free-bee's and the food to take pics. We got to the end of the bridge and I had to go to the bathroom so we headed to a bar/pub downtown and got a drink to cool off.
I got an IPA, which the waitress applauded me for, so I had to instantly 'google-it' to find out what it was! I like beer, but I am in no way an afficiando. This one was pretty good. Tom, as per usual, had a fruitastic purple grape! Love a man who loves the fruity drinks! :)
After drinks we headed home, and snapped a few more (albeit poor) pics of the bridges and made dinner which was grilled veggies ala-Tom and a bean quesadilla ala-Julie! *I hope you don't get too tired of seeing the quesadillas, I eat them A LOT*
Monday was equally as busy, because on Sunday I wasn't able to finish my last assignment for my docent class so I had to finish it Monday morning at 6 am and turn it in before I had my various appointments for the day. I am a professional-procrastinator and something came to me this weekend about why I am this way- when I try to start things early, I can't make up my mind about what to write, or what angle to take. When I am at the 11th hour, I go with my gut and the thoughts come freely because I have committed to an idea. I really feel like my assignment turned out well. Regardless, I will still be a docent, b/c it's not like these are graded. After I came to work to turn that in I headed to
Bloom Organic Skin Care for my monthly waxing- love, love, love Erinn and her beautiful salon! Then I grabbed some breakie on the go and headed out to Murrysville (hometown) to get my
hairs colored and cut and pick up my newly oiled, washed and detailed car at the hubster-to-be's
dealership. By 1:30 I was hauling-A to get home, eat a quick lunch and head to
yoga. Kelly taught a really great and challenging class and I was tired from trying fore-arm balances. I try one new thing each practice, whether it is a bind that I haven't tried before, or a more advanced pose. This time it was fore-arm balances in dolphin pose and my shouldies are a-screamin today!
Anywho- this week is promising to busy as we prep to get married and go away on vacation! Will post soon!
