I love the weekends.
And I’m always so sad to see them go.

Especially when we had perfect weather and it was fun and relaxing.
Even though my weekend was pretty jammed packed I did get all dressed up and went to a baby shower and spent some QT with my family and my beautiful sister Julie. I made a mess in the kitchen, Pat rescued a baby bunny and I got tickets for my friend Heidi and I to see ZZ Ward in June. Please tell me you’ve heard of her? I’m totally obsessed with her CD and I listen to her all the time while I’m cooking, driving and well, that’s all I really ever do. Here’s the song that got me hooked. She’s bluesy but totally hip… and when I’m singing along she makes my voice sound fabulous. You’ll love her… I know it.
Speaking of fabulous; let’s talk tartar sauce. I’m usually a simplistic person when it comes to tartar sauce… just mayo and sweet pickle relish and a few splashes of Frank’s when the mood strikes me. But I bought a tin of Old Bay forever ago on a whim and then the idea just stuck me to whip up a fancy tartar sauce. Ya know since I was making these yummy fish sandwiches and all.
