Exuberant weekend

The long weekend is almost up and surprise, surprise, I am almost 3 days behind on my reading.  I find it somewhat ironic that I get more reading done during the weekdays.  Although I was able to finish "The Crying Lot of 49" last Saturday afternoon, I haven't been able to squeeze in any more reading time after that.  It is almost as if reading is akin to work.  Blasphemy!  But oh well, I just have to comfort myself with the fact that I cooked 3 new dishes over the last weekend.

As a spur of the moment thing, we bought sapsap or ponyfish last Saturday night.  I only had a vague idea of what I was going to do with it, more like a dim remembrance of how my lola used to cook it.  Good thing I came across a recipe for Pangat na Sapsap (find the recipe here) and we cooked it for lunch yesterday.  I find the dish really simple and it goes perfectly with rice (one proof of that is that Fil consumed twice than what he normally eats for lunch...hehehe)

We went to Greenhills last Saturday and I tried out the Raspberry yogurt of Golden Spoon.  It was nothing spectacular and Fil even went as far as to compare it to Tempra but it was not as bad as that.  I definitely prefer it compared to the chocolate icicle passing off as yogurt from Tutti Frutti. It just made me miss White Hat's Green Apple Yogurt even more.

After Greenhills, we went straight to Robinsons in BF to do the groceries (well, our main destination is really the building beside it...hehe).  We tried out the pizza place in the 2nd floor of Robinsons and it was a good thing that we did.  As a rule, my fiance and I don't really eat in pizza places because he is not a fan but the Buffalo Wings of that restaurant (for the life of me, I cant remember the name of the place) quickly made a convert out of him.  I opted for the traditional pepperoni pizza and I loved it.  Can't wait to taste their other pizzas and stromboli.

The Sunday and Monday was spent lazing around and catching up on DVDs.  Fil made me watch "Cinco" and as my revenge, I made him watch "I'll Be There" with me. As they say, all is fair in love and war.

On a totally unrelated side-note, I was really happy to hear that Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) won in the Emmys for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series.  I am so in love with him and I am even willing to learn Klingon for him.  Can't wait for the new season of the Big Bang Theory.
