It’s been a nice, weekendy sort of weekend, the sort that we haven’t quite managed to have for far too long. We spent only a bit of time in town, running a few errands and keeping the grocery bill to an all-time low. The Badger puttered outside, working on my greenhouse, and I did house-wifey things.

Yesterday I baked an herb bread flavoured with my mom’s dried tomatoes and Narnia Farm’s foccacia seasoning blend, as well as a rhubarb cake, and both were wonderful. Today, after making poached eggs for the Badger and I on left-over herb bread toast for breakfast, I baked the amazing New York Times No-Knead bread which I’ve blogged about before, got a wonderful rendition of Beethoven’s 9th symphony by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra put onto our music server so I can listen to it in the house, watered my garden, took my camera for a stroll, and got the laundry off the line just before the skies opened (shouldn’t have bothered watering the garden I guess). After reading for while and having coffee with friends I made a scrummy pasta tossed with roasted roma tomatoes, fresh basil from a neighbor’s greenhouse, and farm-cured bacon from Smithers for dinner. We ate organic strawberries and sweet pineapple over french vanilla ice cream for dessert, and now I’ve just finished playing Citadels with Thing Two, who beat me both games, though only by one point the last time.

Now I’m off to read in my amazing bathtub, then I think I’ll lie in bed and watch the sunset reflect off of Goat Mountain.

I told you it’s been a nice weekend. And there’s still Sunday…
