Scenes from the Weekend: Volume 2

I realized after last week's post that the tag for this post was "scenes from the weekend" but the title was "Weekend in Pictures" or something like that, so now the title matches the tag.  Volume 2 - look at that, two weekends in a row.

Weekends start on Friday for us.  On Friday I took Pure Barre class at lunch time and then met Marek for lunch at the office.  They have this DELICIOUS cake that I'm trying to track down a recipe for.  It's a delicious white cake with lemon curd in the middle and white frosting with coconut on top.  It's a good thing they only sell it in small pieces!

We went to Target after work (of course) and as we hit the grocery section, we were both in awe of the aisle, which had just been faced.  As we are both ex-grocery store employees, we appreciate a well-faced aisle.  That didn't stop me from wanting to kick some of the boxes over - and the aisle wasn't really properly faced - only the first line was faced and all the rest was left where it was.  Lazy facing job, but still looked good.

On Saturday I went to Pure Barre class and I finally got to sign the barre!  I was so excited.  I have been doing PB for awhile (planning another post about it at some point) and after the holidays, I knew I'd be on the bench for at least a couple weeks so decided to take advantage of being home and try to complete the 20 Consecutive Class challenge.  I went to class every day for 20 days (and actually completed 21 classes in those days because I took two classes in one day!), and so I got to sign the barre.  Very exciting day!

We took a little trip into Seattle for some Serious Pie and a Serious Biscuit - we always get the mushroom pizza and we finally tried the Zach biscuit, which a friend has been recommending for awhile.
Downtown Seattle (and everywhere else in the area) was all decked out with their 12s, ready for the big game on Sunday!

The main reason we went to Seattle was to pick up Marek's suit.  As part of our wedding package with Men's Wearhouse, he got a free suit.  We picked it out a few weeks ago and they had to do the alterations, so we finally made the trip back to pick it up...after we discovered that there was a Men's Wearhouse in the next town over from us, a stone's throw from where Marek works!  Whoops!  Doesn't he look handsome? :)

Saturday night we were in for an unpleasant surprise though - our freezer was not working!  We thought we had left the door ajar because everything in the freezer had defrosted.  All of my star potatoes from Target and all of Marek's fruit (among many other things) were lost, and the fruit even leaked all over the freezer.  We had to toss it all.  :(  Worse though was the next morning when I got up and discovered that the fridge itself was not working either - everything in it was lukewarm.  Luckily our apartment maintenance came and replaced our fridge - we kept everything from the fridge (not sure if we should have or not, but oh well) and now it seems to be working fine.  Definitely a plus to renting!

On Sunday we just stayed home and watched the game.  I tried out a tasty tomatillo salsa recipe my friend's boyfriend made when I was at their place last fall.  It came out pretty well and I'll post the recipe soon.

Claudius and I celebrated the Broncos' win!!!!

And we watched the Seahawks game with the "fire" going.  (That is an electronic fireplace with silly waving flames and fake logs with orange lights.  Haha!)
