Where did the weekend go?!

Sheesh it's Sunday night already darn it!  Things were a little screwed up with Saturday as the 4 hour half shift James should have worked Saturday night turned into a full 8 hour shift instead (bleargh).  Anyway we got the Saturday shopping run done before he went back to bed for a few hours, then we had a lovely dinner with Mexican red snapper sandwiches per my husbands request.  I did do the fish on the grill but for some reason it stuck a little but the end result still ended up in something edible that we both enjoyed.

Sunday, well yes I overstretched myself a little but decided with people coming over this week the kitchen was well overdue for a good clean and I mean a good clean between naps and lunches etc it took me best part of the day but it is now spik and span and ready for the week.  Oh not to mention I've started preping for Monday's dinner, it's not an official trip around the world dinner on Monday as the next stop is going to be Denmark, the first country we got we skipped because it was America and well we cook American style foods all the time even native American so that just get's covered by default.  But we had dinner out at a local Greek taverna the other week with Matt and Debbie and I convinced myself I could come up with just as good a meal but at a fraction of the cost and without all those extra charges!  Anyway, I've got the makings of tzatzki in the works already in that I've drained the yogurt and I'm drying out the cucumber so we shall see.  Then I'm going to do chicken souvlaki (which frankly is one of the easier recipes to do) and finishing off with galaktoboureko (yes I am making it from scratch!), it's actually already sitting in the fridge and ready for consumption and frankly looks divine.

On top of this I need to make a pound cake for Tuesday morning sometime tomorrow and I am going to try a snickerdoodle recipe as well.  Yeah I know I am crazy!  Oh and there will be a shower fitted in somewhere.  At least I've managed to get the main bathroom clean so that's one less chore for tomorrow and I've even cleaned the french windows, although I will probably have another go at those tomorrow.  Sheesh time to calm down relax and sleep!  Goodnight mon ami.
