Greetings friendlings! Tonight I’ll be raving about my favorite day of the week- Saturday! Stay on the lookout for the bolded items- some of my favorite parts about Saturdays!

This particular Saturday started out the way they should… sleeping in until after 11. Holla. Thenceforth, man-go-round and I hit another of my favorite stops, the library. I got Undeclared, Good Eats, The Bounty Hunter, and some lovely chick-lit to read!

We left, and man-go-round was hungry, so we went exploring until we found this eatery “The Grand Sandwich.”

When we got home, I decided to tackle a recipe I’ve been talking about for a few days, thanks to one of my favorite bloggers who has the most incredible recipes and food photos.

So off I went, after commandeering a few of man-go-round’s neglected stone fruits (two plums and a nectarine…) to make some dried fruit/ fruit chips!

While they baked, I decided to channel my inner domestic goddess. I cleaned in pearls.

After cleaning the sink and counters, and filling our new wine rack, and checking the mail, the chips were not done. So we turned the oven off to let the chips finish while we went on a photo walk:

By the time we finished checking out all of the flowers and birdies, and had our fill of late day sunshine, guess what was ready?

Yea! They were not as dried out as I wanted them to be, since I wasn’t able to slice them very thin. They were, however, deLICIOUS! Even man-go-round, who doesn’t generally adventure in his eating, thought they were pretty good!

We’re having a relaxing night enjoying Undeclared, and the icing on today’s cupcake? I got to see my story that was published for the first time post-production!

Well, I counted over a dozen great things about this Saturday, and the night is still young.

What do you do on your happy, relaxing weekend days? Do you like to explore or stay home and relax?

Cheers!
