went off without a hitch.
I caught some of the comedy stylings of Hannibal Buress. According to him, “foodie” is just a euphemism for fat people sht, lol. He proceeded to make references to such people and I couldn’t stop laughing at myself. Why yes, I do have more pictures of food in my phone than of people or things. I actually had to clear some out because my phone had already reached the maximum limit for images.
I also crossed off another restaurant from my list, an edible delicious to-eat list to work through, if you will.
This spot specializes in tapas and they had excellent ahi tuna and crostinis.
Earlier in the day, I made myself a quick breakfast,
a pumpkin pie milk shake (in my defense, it was noon and it was a gorgeous 70 degrees–in the middle of Winter).
Had lunch
Shrimp Pad Thai at my favorite place with one of my favorite people!
and a late night snack to keep me company with The Walking Dead (returns February 10th, you best bet I have my calenders marked) 
I also went to visit our family friend who is recovering from a successful knee operation. Much like me, nothing knocks her down nor impacts her love for food and we were greeted with the sight of her taming her voracious appetite with a healthy portion of everything since it was the first time she’d eaten in a day and a half. It warmed my heart to see her sip her juice in between bites of this and that and offering, a though weak, but bright smile.
However, the high point of my weekend had to be my baby brothers first real stab at cooking. He asked me to help him make an entire meal from scratch and I kept my fussing to a minimum and watched as he stirred flour and butter into a glossy, ivory béchamel and tossed and flavored tomatoes for a bruschetta. Oh, I can’t even tell you how proud I was. Let’s suffice it to say that I couldn’t stop smiling.
I hope that everyone else enjoyed their weekend and there were lots of happy moments and delicious food to go around. I have a very special video to share withe everyone tomorrow.
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
I always enjoy your weekend writings
No fuss about the milkshake, our weather here just doesn’t know what it’s doing. The temperature today had me wanting to find a water hole and get wet.
Keep wowing us with your wonderful weekending wrap-ups.
Love and Prayers,
Paul
Hope classes are going well for you, Paul–happy to hear from ya!
Classes are going well, thanks for the well wishes.^^)
I actually got out early tonight and decided to catch up on one of my favorite author/culinary artist.
Hi Angie, always enjoy reading your squishy stories, make me feel younger too. I actually forgot my age….:)
And I love everything above. It sure look awesome and make me hungry…. going to hunt for something to munch and be back later cos I miss few of your posting due to your website error few days back. See ya…
I do apologize again for that. It’s been crazy and we still have just a few more kinks to work out. You are so lovely, Amelia!!
Well, all the food you posted looks delicious!
All of the food looks insanely delicious! I do love the ahi tuna and shrimp pad thai a lot. I am so hungry now!
I encourage you to not only eat but eat both! =)
Ooh, now i’m craving ahi tuna. Yours looks awesome! And how fun that you’re teaching your bro how to cook – that’s so cool!
I love how cooking is both so delicious and brings people together, lol
All your food pictures always look so delicious. I am starving now!
Thank you for letting me know when Walking Dead was starting again, I didn’t know the date! Got it on my calender now 
That’s awesome about your brother wanting to make a meal from scratch, how cool!! I bet you were proud of him!
Such a proud moment! I hope you’ve been well, Suzie. Been thinking about you! =)
Thanks to you I am craving shrimp pad thai pretty badly right now!

Love a nice buttery tuna!
Yeah!! Congratulations to your baby brother Angie!! My first ful meal I cooked I was 13 way back in 1973.They made all boys in Illinois take 6 months of home ec back then and the girls shop. I knew so much about cooking already I was a favorite of my teacher and more important WITH THE GIRLS in the class. I cooked a spaghetti dinner!
Sounds like you had a great week end Angie! Have a wonderful day!! Every thing above looks delicious!!!
Love.
Les.
I hope you had a great one, Les!
What a great weekend!
It beat Friday’s butt =)
haha, yes, the term foodie just masks our insatiable lust for food. It just sounds classier than saying, ‘I love to pig out’
How fun that you and your brother got in the kitchen together. It’s always a joy to share with others how simple and satisfying a home made meal can be. There may be many steps in a lasagna, but really they’re all manageable.
This is very true =)
Hahaha I’m also a huge TWD fan….cant wait for Feb 10!!!

I hope yours was great too, V! =)
What an amazing weekend and I hope that the week to follow is just as amazing
Thank you, Tandy. I hope the same for you =)

I tried to enter my comment earlier – but it didn’t show up, so hopefully this isn’t a duplicate. I drooled all over the post looking all of those delicious pictures
Happy Belated New Year Angela.
Hopefully site issues will be completely settled soon. I thank you for your patience, Yudith. Happy New Year! =)
Hmmm.. I drooled all over my keyboard – all of those yummy food!
Happy Belated New Year Angela

Thank you so much, Brian. I love when people lend positive energy. I believe in it =)
I want to eat that stuff!!!
all of it! even the flowers
they should make walking dead kitchen utensils
cause I’d buy em
Meeee too, Allen! That’s brilliant =)
I LOVE pad thai!
me too, though, I went through a spell where I had it for lunch practically everyday. It was no bueno then.
Yuuum!! Stop it. I’m trapped out of the kitchen at the moment and I can’t get in to make my breakfast. What an amazing weekend. Such great food. I love the pumpkin pie milkshake. Pumpkin pie is quite new to me but I love the idea and would like to explore its possibilities further…
I highly recommend it =)
Sounds and looks like you are having a lot of fun!! Love all the food; especially the pumpkin pie milkshake!
After Fridays incident, it was definitely an improvement.
I should not have read this post during breakfast, now I will definitely over eat
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Do it =)
Looks like your weekend has been going wonderfully! Mine started off with a flop as The Broncos lost and that just ruined my Saturday, so much so, I made everyone eat leftovers
I am attempting today to make something but I feel SO lazy and have a horrible headache….
Maybe The Texans will win and make my Sunday.
I too have more food pictures on my phone than people.
Your breakfast, lunch and snack look delicious!
Nazneen
I’m sorry to hear you don’t feel well, Nazneen. I will send delicious, positive energy your way (cotton candy scented) =)
