It's the weekednd! I'm really fucking glad that I checked my schedule yesterday before I stopped work. Turns out, this is my weekend off. I work next week! I slept in an extra couple of hours, and it was lovely.
Not a whole lot planned this weekend. No games, nothing going on. I defintitely want to do some cleaning. My sister is going to be out for a few hours tonight, so I might watch some of Daredevil. (Not that I couldn't watch it with here here, I just never think of it.
The one thing I might do is this morning/early afternoon. A nursery opened near the house called "Second Chance Plants." Its a nursery that takes overstock plants and discounts them. I really want some fresh herbs, so I'm going to go over and see what they have. I'm super poor, but they do advertise plants as cheap as $1, so I'm going to go check it out. This weekend is the grand opening, so I'm going to see if I can find a nice thyme and maybe some others in my price range. I'm very excited about this, as I would like to have more green in the apartment. Right now, I just have a wee little mint plant on the windowsill next to my desk. I love it, but I want it to have some friends!
Actually, I might also see if they have pots and soil, because I need to transplant my mint into something bigger. It's grown quite a bit since I got it.
Tomorrow will defintely be laundry and some vaccuuming.
Last night, we had the barramundi with broccolini. I was a little nervous, because generally speaking, I'm not a fish person. I just cannot with the fishy taste. I even made a parmesan sauce to put over it in case I hated it.
I'm pleased to report that I actually really *liked* it! It wasn't fishy at all, and was a firmer fish, so it didn't feel squishy like some lower quality salmon. Downside, it's super hard to find. The only place I've found it is Walmart in frozen. It's an Asian Sea Bass, so it's not like you can go trawling in the Chesapeake Bay and get it fresh, I suppose. Wish we had some farm raised around here. I'd really like to try it fresh, but it doesn't seem like anywhere has it.
Anyhow, really good, didn't need the sauce at all. The broccolini was also good. Debating on what to make today. Whatever it is will have mushrooms, because I don't know how long the ones I have will be good for, so it's time to use them. I'm thinking chicken over rice with a cream of mushroom sauce. I'm lucky that Jess dislikes the texture of mushrooms, but likes the taste. It's just going to be them and I tonight, so I'll see. I may save the big preparation for tomorrow. We'll see.
And now, I shall go get pants on to go look at some plants! Everyone have an excellent Saturday!
