A Laid Back Saturday Afternoon.

A nap included.

One can hardly believe that it is Saturday again and in fact almost Sunday. This week like most others has done a gallop rather than a gentle trot. Nevertheless, here we are at week's end.

Funny how Friday evenings feel like starts to a mini holiday, equipped with everything but a suitcase. Plans are spun, garlic tripled in recipes and anticipation for having the time to watch late night movies, in fact any movies. Truth be told, we both nod off after the opening credits most nights and ironically, especially Fridays. Oh well, a way to relax after all.

I had occasion to work in Hannersdorf this morning and with great foresight I stopped in at their local bakery. Not often one can buy real hand made baker's ware. Most loaves we buy at supermarkets and shops are hoisted from an industrial production line.

Does the same thing happen to you when you enter the hallowed premises of a baker's? Forgetting that you only wanted one loaf or two bread rolls... Standing there taking in all the crispy, soft, baked or sugared items asking to be bought and imagining how, where and with what to eat those delectable creations . My plan was to buy four rolls as Saturday evenings are our hamburger nights. For whatever reason, a loaf of bread and one extra bread roll came along but not for long. That delicious bread roll was too fresh not to be tested.

Somehow my meal plans got put on its head and we had homemade hamburger with extra cheese ( don't panic, all plant based ) for lunch which leaves me with a conundrum of what to make for supper. Never mind, something will come to mind.

The rest of the afternoon did justice to it being on a Saturday...both of us nodded off watching some program on television and had a most refreshing sleep until our cat decided she wanted to go outside and for good measure alternated her surprise jumps between our two couches, never missing a chance to land on top of a stomach...Ah, family life-the good life.
