Welcome to the 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 in food:
It was my birthday Wednesday! I am the big 3-4. Wowza I am getting old ha! Sal (the fiance) and I went to Burlington, MA to go to Del Frisco’s Grille and it was SO delish. We got a brussel sprouts and bacon flatbread for an appetizer. Then I asked what the restaurant favorite is and the bartender said the burger, so I went with her pick! And to drink, the white wine sangria. I think one of my favorite things about the dish was a mini ketchup you get with it. It was cooked perfectly and the fries were good too. I would definitely go back!
2. Favorite activity:
My sister visited from Florida! We went to Nashoba Valley Winery and did a wine tasting and some apple picking.
3. Favorite drink:
I love a good bloody mary on a weekend! The sister, fiance, and I went to Hugh Oneils and I got one and it totally hit the spot!
4. Favorite in fashion:
My future SIL and BIL and got me a very nice b-day gift! And so did my future MIL! They know me oh-so-well and went the jewelry route.
From the SIL/BIL – Kate Spade Studs!
And from the future MIL, a Pandora bracelet and another handmade bracelet.
5. Favorite place:
While the sister was here, we made soaps at the shop in Legacy Place, Make Meaning.
Here are my soaps before….
During…
And after….my sister and my soaps ready to go!
What about you – how was your week? Any favorites?
I’m going to have to check out the shop at Legacy Place. That looks like so much fun!
I know! My daughters would love it!
It all looks and sounds amazing! Especially the sangria!
The soap making looks like so much fun! I wish I had some Sangria for a night cap, too! I don’t get to drink much because of my kidney disease.
Interesting that Del Frisco’s cooks their ketchup. But Ina way it makes sense because I always thought that cold ketchup just makes things cold— so warm ketchup is kind of brilliant.
Besides being warm, is the flavor of the ketchup different? And is Del Frisco in Burlington a good place to meet rich guys, because the one on the waterfront is full of rich guys looking for girls.
Oops the ketchup is not cooked ! It is in a mini bottle though ! I meant the burger and fries were cooked perfectly ! Anyways I do think it is a good place to meet guys – very modern and a good drinks list too !
Thanks for the clarification…but I thnk I’m on to something with warm ketchup
Del Frisco on the Harbor is great… I just order a drink and before you know it some random guy is picking up my check and buying me drinks and even a steak.
I agree, drinks are good because they’re big and usually free!!!!!!!
Me and my girls may drive up to Burlington and check it out…
Hit the mall first and then hit up Del Frisco and see where the night goes.
I don’t get the soap thing…I just buy a pump container of Method and it lasts for months.
I’d rather make something resides soap; I will give that business one year before it closes.
But not to be a negative Nellie, those earrings/studs are sweeter than sweet. Good job girlfriend scoring those for the big four-oh. You look great!!!!!
The soap thing is more about the experience then the actual soap ! It is about being creative and doing something different with a friend or relative or even by yourself. They also have glass making, pottery painting, cookie decorating and other activities.
Also not 40 just yet – 6 years to go !

if I’m not mistaken don’t you have two kidneys or is that two livers?
There must be something you can take so that booze gets processed through the good kidney…I’d check it out if I were you… I couldn’t live without drinking cocktails, plus I’d never have the courage to talk to guys and you know where that leads. ….
