This weekend has been… blissful. loverly.

Friday, boyfriend and I went to Outback and had yummy steaks. We have vowed not to eat tacos out forty times a week so that we could have that one good dinner.

Then, Saturday we had this bruschetta that he made with these new diced tomatoes:

And he put balsalmic vinegar and olive oil and mozerella (really good soft stuff) on it and we were stuffed. We sat there in the living room scarfing it right off the pan.

Then this morning I got up and used my leftover steak from Outback… I sliced it really thin and sauteed it with green onions and the mexican style rotel and then added it to some scrambled eggs… I made homemade tortillas to wrap the eggs in (with the tortilla press that he got me for Mother’s day) and then I made hash browns with the first of my jalapenos from the garden and some onion… and it was all so damn good.

Tonight we were going to have a salad with the previously mentioned tomatoes, but we ended up getting some different ones, organic stuff from Muir Glen… and it was more like a saucy type thing than just tomatoes, so instead he cooked it up with chicken and basil from the herb garden and some basalmic vinegar and then I made a salad to go with it… and it was the shit.

We also had some good sex-type moments throughout the weekend… played around in the yard. Sat around watching the fish. Did some shopping and playing with kitties at Petsmart… We went to Central Market and got some good tea and coffee. He got some Earl Grey that was like 30 bucks a pound. Of course he only got like $1 of it to try… but it was so strong (the bergamot) that it smelled up the entire car. I got some of this:

It’s PG Tips Pyramid Bags… British tea… it’s so good and the coloring is really nice. It’s my new favorite. I don’t like the fancy stuff too much. I go for plain old English Breakfast tea or whatever’s “just tea” so this suits me fine.

I got some coffee that is from a local roaster and is fair trade and super delicious… and I haven’t even had any of it yet because I like the tea so much.

I’m going to try and make it in my espresso machine though and see how that turns out.

I sound like a total food junkie, don’t I?

All in all, this was the perfect weekend, I’d say.
