2. Went to Home Goods looking for a rug and pictures for the guest bath. Found three beach-themed shadow boxes that I thought would be perfect. Not so much. All three will be going back. Along with the runner I bought for our entryway.
3. Dinner and a movie Saturday night. B&I went back to Astor for dinner (B had the souvlaki and i had the gyro. Both amazing!) and saw Angels & Demons. B slept through the first half. I enjoyed it but it was super predictable. Especially if you've read both of Dan Brown's books.
While we were sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start, we checked out Rotten Tomatoes' review (on my new super cool toy). The movie has a 39% Tomotometer. Out of 193 total reviews, 118 are rotten and only 75 fresh. Not good. Should have snuck out at that point and saw this instead.
At least Chris Pine would have provided some eye candy :)
4. Baked a new recipe I got from King Arthur Flour's Baker's Banter; Cheese and Sausage Biscuits.
It was a total flop. I don't think was enough liquid in the dough, so my biscuits fell apart and then burned in the oven. Such a disappointment. I think I might call their Bakers' Hotline and find out what happened and try again next weekend. BTW, how cool is it that they have a baking helpline?!
My friend AC gave me a King Arthur Flour cookbook a few years ago and I've been hooked on them ever since. Do yourself a favor and read their blog and sign up for their catalog. They have the most amazing things in it!!
5. Went out to Leesburg to the outlets. B needed new polo shirts and dress shoes. We definitely accomplished task #1 at Lacoste, but failed on #2. Although the highlight of the trip was finally getting a living room rug. Crate and Barrel was the only store to carry rugs in 4'x6' and we found the perfect one! YEAH!
