Last week's rain continued into the weekend so it made for a fairly relaxing weekend spent at home on Friday and Saturday.
On Friday after work I went to the Asian market to pick up some ingredients for the chicken low mein recipe I posted about on Friday. I loved how cheap everything was and will have to go back to make more Asian inspired recipes.
K and I had some happy hour drinks at home on the patio, dinner at home from Publix deli and then watched the movie Drunk Wedding from Redbox which was pretty funny.
On Saturday I slept in until 11:30! It was exactly what I needed after the lack of sleep all week. That's the latest I've slept in in a very long time. It was storming all day again so I was productive around the house - laundry, cleaning, meal prepping etc. I put together all the chicken low mein ingredients in the crockpot and let dinner cook itself. It came out amazing!
The weather looked like this most of the weekend but I'm sure Lola was happy to get lots of quality time with us.
On Sunday the weather was still shitty but it held up for us to enjoy some brunch to celebrate one of my best friend's birthday. We all met up at a KASA downtown and enjoyed a really nice brunch buffet along with some mimosas.

Glad you enjoyed a chill weekend, bummer it was because of the rain. Hopefully the sun shines down on y'all soon. Brunch looked like so much fun :)!
ReplyDeleteRainy weekends can definitely be a downer but are a great excuse to relax and get things done around the house! I mentioned this on Friday but I seriously need to make that lo mein this week!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun yesterday, despite the rain! Hoping this rain calms down by the weekend so we can actually enjoy some sunshine :)
ReplyDeleteSucks that the weather was so crummy, but that just means more time inside to brunch and drink mimosas!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy weekend plans were ruined by rain too--so much for my summer tan! Haha. That lo mein looks amazing!! I'm going to have to try that now!

We were going to rent drunk wedding, but then I didn't know any of the actors, but since you gave it the seal of approval we'll rent it soon! That brunch looked incredible - I need to brunch with you ladies :) Happy Monday! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteOkay super convinced I have to make that chicken lo mein! yum!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes a rainy weekend day works out well for productivity and dog lounging!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good weekend!
A weekend with brunch is always a good weekend to me. Too bad about the rain. I hate when it rains on my days off. That was so great that you go to sleep in. I love to do that when I get overtired from the week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time with friends! I love the crock pot. It makes life so easy.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken low mein looks AMAZING! I'd love to attempt that recipe sometime. Also, Woodchuck has been my go-to beer this summer, so good!
ReplyDeleteWow, your lo mein looks better than any restaurant! What a great looking brunch group, a group of lovely ladies right there and Oh yeah and the guys too, ha ha! I'm going to do a stop the rain dance and at least hope you have a beautiful sunny weekend coming up. I feel it in the forecast ha ha! Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteI feel like sometimes a rainy weekend is needed to get things done inside and relax a little. Your chicken lo mein looks so freaking delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to try that out sometime. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThat lo mein looks legit! If I didn't see all the ingredients I would suspect you bought it, lol!
ReplyDeleteI always forget to go to the international grocery stores. They are SO much cheaper!
