No Weekend Woes

October 8, 2012 by The Squishy Monster

I worked a lot but that’s to be expected and other than that, my weekend was great, how was yours?

Nothing like sugar to jump start your day!  Why yes, that would be a shortbread crust + homemade salted caramel + streusel

Spicy Tuna & Eel/King Crab Rolls for lunch

Cheesy stuffed shells for dinner and garlicky cheesy bread, for good measure {baked in my new birthday present—I hope my brother sees this from the Netherlands and smiles}

I also watched Looper

Prepping for a night out {first time in heels in a million years}  Have I ever mentioned how much I hate heels?  But for food, I’ll make an exception, and how cute are these?!

*Also, go check out my article in this weeks Creative Loafing!

I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!

Love, love, love,

Your Squishy Monster ^.~

    Those are some nice heels Angie ;) – yeah, I’m a dude, but I’m a sucker for heels on a woman!

  2. Food Stories says:

    Hey … Great article & great heels :-)

  3. That’s a great interview Angela!! Loveeee those shoes! I’m so clumsy though so I’d be falling all over myself I had wore them. :P

  4. First of all, all of that food looks so delicious! Love the shoes but what did you think of Looper? A friend hated it but others liked it :)

    • The Squishy Monster says:

      I enjoyed it…my personal measure of whether or not I liked a movie is whether or not I was bored and I definitely wasn’t.

  8. I enjoyed your interview Angela! Oh what a beautiful pair of shoes! I’m 5 feet and definitely need heels but like you I haven’t worn in million years… since my first pregnancy (minus occasional wedding). Enjoy your night out! And having cooler weather these days, your cheesy stuffed shells is tempting!

    • The Squishy Monster says:

      We should band together as the women of shortness and celebrate it, whatdya say? I’m all of 5 foot 3 1/2–lol.

    Your weekend food looks amazing and we’ll done on the article :)

  11. Joanne says:

    Sounds like a delicious weekend even if you did work a lot! Those stuffed shells..swoon!

  12. Veronica says:

    I think we need to know more about the gooey bars. And the stuffed cheesy shells. And I love your heels! Girl, you’re rocking them.

  13. I made Tarte Tatin and rice salad with tuna and artichokes during the weekend, so mine was good, too, very relaxing.
    As for the Looper, I didn’t enjoy it that much (to shoots were too loud, and the film had an overall depressing atmosphere) but I was happy about the outcome.

    • The Squishy Monster says:

      it sounds like you had a most yummmmy weekend, my friend! Yes, it was definitely melancholy but something that I thought about a day later during down time (i.e. doing tedious boring things like dishes), lol.

  14. libishski says:

    Nice work on the article! The cheesy stuffed shells and garlic cheesy bread looks nice too :)

    I’m definitely a food > heels girl (also doesn’t help that I’m a klutz when it comes to walking in heels!) but those are some awesome, awesome shoes you’ve got there!

  15. **drools** those ooey gooey bars look so, well ooey and gooey!! :D I bet they are most delish! ;)
    <3 Spicy Tuna <3 those are my favorite type of rolls. (and with lots of wasabi ~.^)
    I'm kinda of picky when it comes to movies (you know my view on the entertainment industry) but Looper did looked like it would be a decent film. I was going to try and catch it at the drive-in if they feature it with another show that looks promising. I've always enjoyed the drive-in, I know it's not the optimal choice for seeing these new High Definition flics but you can't beat it for entertainment if you ask me. And the weather is just right for it now, get's a little too hot for my enjoyment during the summer.
    Congratulations on the write up in Creative Loafing! :) You've such a GINORMOUS heart!! I'd love to help out anytime with your pack away hunger ministry, just let me know!!

    It looks like you had a fantabulous weekend!! Thank you for sharing it with us Angie! <3

    Warmest Regards,
    -Paul

    • The Squishy Monster says:

      I enjoy drive-ins too. I’m hoping to combine it with a picnic (if the weather is nice enough) Hope you got to check it out in paper =)

      • What a wonderful idea; picnic and a movie. Now only if I could find a proper date. ~.^

        I did get a paper copy while I was on campus. I’ve toyed with the idea of making a collection of sorts from different articles of friends to make a coffee table album. I blew my friends mind when I showed him some pictures he drew for me when we were in elementary school after he was featured in Creative Loafing for his work in the comic book industry. I used to think I was a pack-rat but after catching an episode of Hoarders, I realized I’m not that bad. Kudos again for the write up!!

        Warmest Regards,
        -Paul

        • The Squishy Monster says:

          You should totally do it! My bf tells me that you only miss the shots you don’t try…I’m rooting for ya!!

  16. My weekend was nice and relaxing, especially since I had Monday off!

  17. loopin says:
