It has been a busy couple of weeks over here in the Harder-Szaflarski household. Adam and I are out pretty well every weeknight and I was gone in St. Catharines over the weekend so it felt like we had not eaten a real meal at home in ages. This past Wednesday, however, Adam was on reading week so he could go to the gym early and I got home from my class earlier than usual so we ate a proper meal at home. Adam made sausage and chickpeas over top of potatoes. He also made collard greens for the first time. I tasted a little bit of the collard greens raw and did not think I would like it but, amazingly, I do like them when they are sauteed with tons of garlic, salt and, most importantly, butter.

Dinner at Home
It has been a busy couple of weeks over here in the Harder-Szaflarski household. Adam and I are out pretty well every weeknight and I was gone in St. Catharines over the weekend so it felt like we had not eaten a real meal at home in ages. This past Wednesday, however, Adam was on reading week so he could go to the gym early and I got home from my class earlier than usual so we ate a proper meal at home.

Thank you Dalton!
Statutory Holidays are the best because Adam and I both have the day off. This Family Day we woke up late, ate pancakes for breakfast, watched the Olympics, went to Peter's, ate pizza and watched more Olympics. What more could you ask for in a Family Day?
Schrodinger!
The other weekend I decided I would spend the whole day at home watching episodes of my new favorite show - Friday Night Lights. It was a great day of sitting on the couch and I am embarrassed to say I completed the whole season in just one weekend! Pictured is my new Schrodinger mug. I stole it from Edy's work and it is the most fantastic mug: big enough for a substantial cup of tea and the handle fits my whole hand so I can also use it to keep me warm. The mug was actually meant to go to my mom and it still might - if I can ever part with it!
Nat cooks dinner
On occasion I do make dinner and this is one of the four things in my rotation: roast chicken. It is pretty good if I do say so myself. It has a really crispy skin and is tasty and juicy on the inside. The secret is getting the recipe from Real Simple.
Meat
Adam and I stopped by the grocery store and were drawn to this package of beautiful T-Bone steaks so we bought them, fried them up, topped them with home-made herb butter and ate them. Sometimes you just gotta have meat.
