Friday Five #57

Happy Friday! Don't really have much to include in the way of intros // small talk today. I had big plans to test out a Beer Cheese Soup recipe this week, so I bought 2 blocks of cheese at the store. And then, knowing Mr. Sass is the resident cheese gobbler asked him specifically to save those for making soup. The next day I open the fridge to find 3/4 of one of the blocks gone - having been raided in the night by the cheese thief while I slept peacefully in our bed. He claimed having no knowledge of the don't eat the cheese conversation. But needless to say you bet I made his ass go get more, 'cause dammit if I didn't want some beer cheese soup!

Anyways, I'll be making beer cheese soup this weekend, assuming the gremlin can keep his hands off the cheese long enough for it to make it in the pot. Plus heading for a run & maybe a hike with friends.

one // Apparently I only took 3 pictures this whole week, and they're all of cake, so, yeah. On Monday, Mr. Sass headed to Oakmont Bakery to pick up 2 sample cakes + sample cookies. We had quite the time tasting everything & rating our favorites. While we're still not sure who we'll go with, the cake was delicious. But a little over zealous on the icing. I left an icing shell on my plate each time I had a slice.

two // I think I'm finally getting back into a groove with reading. I got a fine last July - and embarrassingly enough didn't read any more books in 2016, but I'm back. I read 2 in January, but cruised through The Pilots Wife in 2.5 lunch breaks. One of those books that sucks you in, even though it's a little predictable. I put a few things on hold at the library and am excited to return to reading on my lunch breaks. Anything I MUST put on my to-be-read list?

three // We're coming up on 2 years since my brother & I summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro together. I have a few posts about it on my travel page, but it's still hard to believe sometimes. And I'm getting the itch to do some other sort of crazy trek. Machu Picchu? Torres del Paine? I don't know the answer...but I do know this summit sunrise still gives me chills. The world just sort of stopped for a few minutes, but in the best way. Everything was quiet. I was exhausted from hiking all night, literally, we started hiking at 11PM, I turned around, and there was this.

four // Mr. Sass switched over to a "normal" schedule for the next 4 weeks. He'll be working daylight hours just like me, versus coming home at 11pm. But - what this really means, is he gets home before me, and thus is on dinner duty all month. I do the shopping ('cause I love it) and tell him what to make, but otherwise, it's done when I get home, 'cause man knows I get hangry. So, I will live in bliss for the next 24 days until he switches to some other sort of dumb shift.

five // I may not have actually taken more than a handful of pictures this week, but I did find some funnies...
