Have a Refreshing Weekend!

THE WEEKEND IS HERE!!!!!!!  I don't know about you, but this week has seemed like it just dragged for me.  After last weekend's busy schedule, I'm happy to report that this weekend is mostly about relaxation.  We're going to take it easy tonight, try to get some dim sum brunch (finally) on Saturday, explore around town and do some packing at my place that day, and hit up the Mixers and Elixirs event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on Saturday night.  Sunday is all about relaxing at home and maybe being productive with some more moving of stuff to S's place.  Looking forward to doing some nothing!

And just for fun, here are a few more interesting links for you:

• This chart puts the timeframe of your life into perspective.
• This weekend I'm planning to make pasta with this Mushroom Ragu. We also have a bunch of leftover smoked chicken from Sunday's GoT finale party that I think I'm going to use to make this Corn, Bacon, and Chicken Salad.  Minus the mayo of course.
• And speaking of making stuff, I need to step it up on those weekly cocktails again.  For this weekend I'm contemplating either this Broiled Lemon Bourbon Cocktail with Rosemary Syrup or an Elderflower Gin Fizz.  I have the ingredients for either...
• Awesome DIY slate cheese board.
• Who knew that iphones could take such incredible pictures?!
