This weekend John and I watched movies about love…or tried to at least. One of them, I totally fell asleep on due to boredom.  We watched: Love Jones, the Time Traveler’s Wife and The Notebook.  Neither one of us at ever seen The Notebook – I always assumed it would be super-sappy and not that great but it was actually pretty good.  At any rate, my weekend was ok, could have been a bit better if I wasn’t beginning to feel under the weather.  Luckily, I’ll be able to rest today and hopefully get back on the road to recovery.

I usually don’t cook on the weekends but since John and I gave up eating out for Lent, I broke out my handy slow-cooker and made a chicken chipotle soup (recipe coming soon), we attended a cooking class with wine pairings and all – so much fun!  Unfortunately, my weekend ended with eating tons of cough drops, Benadryl and NyQuil (not pictured) – I had to sneak in a few hot tamales too.  Fun times.
