Welcome to the 21st Friday Fave Five weekly post and blog hop! Each Friday I highlight five of my favorite things from the past week and link up with Mom’s Got Mail.
1. Favorite video:
As you know, I am engaged and so seriously this video/article cracked me up. It is pretty on point as to how crazy the wedding planning process can be. We really haven’t even dived in yet but maybe this really is partly why!
2. Favorite in Food:
Sal’s (the fiance) brother turned 30 this week! We went to his birthday party with friends he and his wife threw at Rosa Mexicano last weekend and then his family dinner was Pasta Market this week.
Highlights from Rosa Mexicano:
Guacamole
Frozen Margarita
Chicken tacos
Enchiladas – which sadly looked better then they tasted in my opinion
Churros with dipping sauces for dessert!
And my meal from Pasta Market….good old chicken parm.
3. Favorite in Shopping:
I hope this – m elizabeth – Silver Triple Triangle Necklace ($19.99), I ordered from Zulily is as cute in person! I wanted a more delicate necklace to wear to work / during the day instead of always wearing long necklaces or statement necklaces as I tend to lean towards. It says it won’t be here for a couple of weeks so we shall see!
4. Favorite in Entertainment:
Are you guys Simpsons fans? I used to watch it all the time and then not at all. But Sal loves it and they are doing a marathon right now where they are playing #everysimpsonsever on FXX so we have watched a few funny episodes this week!
5. Favorite for kids:
I love adding new products to my bundles and when I was contacted by Olives & Pickles, I couldn’t resist getting some new items including this:
What about you? What are this weeks faves?
Those churros look yummy! I love Mexican food but there’s not many good places near me.
Thats a bummer! Maybe you can make some Mexican at home 🙂
Lizzy, where do you live?
I’m guessing maybe you live in Canada because America seems to have good mexican restaurants no matter where you live.
Anyway get a cookbook by Rick Bayless or Diana Kennedy, two Americans with great Mexican cookbooks. Go figure…
Can you share some recipes from Canada, stuff with maple syrup and moose meat.
I’m Vietnamese and I love green enchiladas filled with carnitas
And for brunch o go crazy for good huevos rancheros…
And the eggs are easy to make….even if you live in some small, out of the way place like North Dakota you can find the ingredients to make them.
Speaking of which, because it seems everybody or at least almost everybody luvs Mexican food, why don’t you open open the first Mexican restaurant in your small town
Your fiance would luv my brother Dat. That brother of mine like your fiance just luvs the Simpsons.
Right now I really am addicted to this show in Showtime called Ray Donovan. Ever watch it? There’s even a South Boston connection in it.
That Jordan chick knows about Mexican food because I’ve been to Rick Bayless Mexican restaurant in Chicago. !!!Es muy muy bueno!!!!
That pasta market restaurant in Malden has huge portions. I always leave with a doggie bag. DO YOU?
Never saw Ray Donovan! They do have good portions – perfect for leftovers!
Eluzabeth,
I went to Quebec City in August… I loved it.
Where in Canada do you live?
And the restaurants serve horse meat. ..they treat it just like beef and even have horse tartare.
Those Canadiens sure are cool. Quebec City was tres cool.
Elizabeth, sorry for thinking you lived in North Dakota.
But now that you didn’t mention it, I didn’t see any Mexican restaurants in Canada. LOTS of French, plenty of crepes and even some Vietnamese (yay), but no Mexican.
So go for it I say!!!
I love guacamole! We don’t really have good Mexican restaurants where I live.
That elephant is adorable!
Jennifer,
Are you Canadian? It’s true about no good guacamole north of the border. ..
That elephant confuses me…
It’s on a site named olives and pickles which sounds like food. But it’s for babies and appears to have a ring that could make a baby choke.
Thus I’m confused. But I agree with our Canadian friend that it is awfully cute
Teething rings are great for baby to soothe their gums and little teeth coming in – they are totally safe but should really be used with adult supervision of course 😉
