Baking, Birthdays and Bunnies

The weekend started off with an Indian buffet at Tadka with Mitch, Dom and KW.  Considering I haven't had Indian food for a while, I was beyond surprised with how spicy it was.  I was tearing up quite a bit, but, on the upside, the food was mighty delish!

That evening I setup to make Overnight Oats.  I was so excited to wake up to hot and ready oatmeal the next morning.  Sadly, I woke up to a slimy, grossness that had managed to partially burn onto my crockpot.  I ate one bowl, and, it was edible, but it was so gross I had to throw the rest out!

I then walked over to the eyeglass store and made an appointment to get an eye exam and new glasses the next day.  I walked home and then cooked a ham, and vigorously scrubbed my crockpot, in preparation for my Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup.  I was NOT disappointed with this recipe.  It turned out SOOO good.  My only regret is that it didn't make more!

Tuesday I got my eye exam and ordered new glasses (which should be here in a week or so).  While I was in the eye dr.'s waiting room, I received a message from KW:

i want to do something awesome to Mitch's desk for her birthday and you are the birthday decorating pro

How could I say no to that?!  So I drove into Cleveland, and hit in my car until Mitch left for the day.  I had to hide for an extra half hour because she got stuck on a call at work.  It was cold, but totally worth it!

KW came up with this funny phrase:

And this one too!  He was on a roll!!

As we were leaving I saw a giant bunny outside of the office, and couldn't pass up the opportunity to give it smooches.

Overall it was a pretty great weekend and I got a lot accomplished.  Next weekend is going to be more cooking in prep for thanksgiving, which is at KW's house this year.
