Who else is watching the Oscars? I’m guessing lots of people! Anyone else endlessly amazed by both Cate Blanchett and Helen Mirren? I prepared for the event early in the day with a very common Meri updo:
| Day after shower haphazard braid buns |
This “look” is most commonly seen on the weekends, when I have errands to do and want my hair out of my consciousness and face for the day. If you have short-medium length hair, this does the trick much better than a ponytail, especially if your hair is thick and straight like mine.
Now, onto something else “made by meri.”
Pizza eggs!
A few years ago, I was watching the first season of Weeds, and Judah Botwin refers (post-mortem, in a videotape made by Shane) to the pizza eggs he is going to make. When I saw this, I thought to myself, “what the eff are pizza eggs? I need to know now!”
I googled it, and found out it’s basically a combo of leftover pizza and eggs. Easy enough! I love recipes with no rules. So here’s my rendition for you, a lazy weekend meal!
| Use about 3 eggs to one slice of pizza |
| chop pizza into bits |
| Create omelet (seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic as usual) |
| When nearly cooked through, fold in half |

| Sprinkle with cheese (or salsa, or whatever) and make sloppy ketchup face! |
There you go, your happy Meri weekend survival guide! Non-pictured items include mood music (Jurassic 5 today) and caffeine (man-go-round claims to have french pressed “the perfect coffee” today. Congratulations honey…)
I may have very, very, very exciting news sometime soon. Can’t jinx it yet though! Stay tuned!
What do you all do to make life easier on lazy weekend days? Any tips for me?
