Friday Evening (8.3.12): With a little over 2 months to go until Mark's next big test our weekends are pretty much filled with him studying and me keeping busy. So Friday night, after playing with Chloe, he studied while I made dinner. Then we relaxed and watch Batman Begins (Mark had never seen it!).

Made this for supper, but replaced sausage with homemade
tempeh "sausage"... Delicious |
Saturday (8.4.12): I biked while Mark ran Chloe then we had a quick breakfast and off to the Farmer's Market we went! It was kind of cold and rainy so the market wasn't super packed. Mark was excited to pick out some peppers (jalapeño and banana) and I was excited for amazing looking onions! It was Mark's week to pick out our Farmer's Market treat and he choose a whole wheat peanut butter cookie (seriously delicious). After that we headed over to
Spyhouse for some studying and fantasy football info gathering. When lunch time hit we decided to give the deli at the
Wedge co-op a try. It was delicious and fresh; they get bonus points for their juice bar. Finally came home, Mark studied and I cleaned. Then while I was making dinner (tilapia + pesto = love) Mark made some almond butter. We ended the evening with Mark teaching me to iron his shirts while watching the Olympics.

Sunday (8.5.12): We slept in ridiculously late, ate breakfast around 10, and then finally got our day started. We went to Whole Foods to get some flank steak for
tacos, came back home and Mark studied, ate some lunch, then took Chloe to the dog park. After that we came home and made some
homemade shampoo (review coming), then finally (at 8 pm) our slow cooker meat was done and we dug in..... by eating the entire 1/2 lb between the two of us (we don't do leftovers, what of it?). We then sat on the couch and watched some Mad Men before calling it a night.

Our weekend was lazy and uneventful.... Just what we needed!
