Nick is in Pittsburgh today and tomorrow for work obligations, and so I have the house to myself tonight. I considered going for a run along my favorite trail, but instead I bought some goodies from the farmers market and came home to cook.
Eating instead of exercising — you see where my priorities lie tonight. And I don’t regret it one bit.
For dinner, I roasted heirloom tomatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, and basil from our front porch garden and tossed them with fresh basil garlic pasta from Fasta. I also drank a glass (or a glass and a half) of Cassie’s Blush from Spyglass Ridge Winery and ate a slice (or two) of apple oat bread from Gaffron’s Sunrise Bakery.
And now I shall retreat to my couch with a book and a blanket.
P.S. Don’t feel bad for Nick — he sent this photo an hour ago.
How do you spoil yourself when you’re home alone?
I watch all the DVR’d shows that my husband doesn’t like when I have the place to myself (think really bad stuff on E!). Or hang out with my girlfriends. It’s fun for a while, but then I want him back 🙂
I love being home alone, but my husband is always home in time for dinner (LOL). While he’s gone I do yoga, prep a nice dinner to start when he gets home, and catch up on my terrible TV! Oh, and there’s usually a glass of wine in my hand when he arrives. If he drank wine, I’d wait for him, but since he doesn’t… no need!
Two days later… I catch up on my blog friends, of course. Those flowers (zinnias?) are gorgeous. Great picture.
I love these pictures — it’s soo nice to have fruits and veggies in season! And that pasta looks devine… off to Fasta I go!
