What's Up Wednesday

Linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday.


What we're eating this week...
We have been spoiled this week:
Saturday: Ham dinner (at my aunt and uncle's)
 Sunday: Prime Rib (also at my aunt and uncle's house)
  Monday: Lobster straight from the fisherman
Tuesday: Pork Tenderloin
Wednesday: Probably just something at the airport
Thursday: Leftover soup from the freezer
Friday: Something healthy since it's January 1 and it's time to end the indulgences



What I'm reminiscing about...
I am at my childhood home and when we were visiting with our neighbours we were reminiscing about all of the Christmas Eves we spent together - crème de menthe parfaits, rummoli, bacon and cheese toasts, paralyzers, and other treats.










What I'm loving...
Yummy beer from Boxing Rock.  We are tasting Vicar's Cross, Crafty Jack, The Darkness, and U889 that we got at the brewery and we even ran into our friends from Upstreet while we were there.






What we've been up to...
Hosting Dave's family for Christmas and then visiting my family in Nova Scotia.  I'll be sharing our Christmas recap next week.


What I'm dreading...
Driving in the winter weather.  I don't mind it for myself, and we have snow tires and AWD when we need it.  It is everyone else that don't know what they are doing who slow the rest of us down.






What I'm working on...
Planning some healthy and easy meals to kick off the new year.  I got a magazine with slow cooker recipes in my stocking and I've been pinning a few new recipes on Pinterest.  Time to get cooking and stock the freezer.


What I'm excited about...
The snow that we got to enjoy in Nova Scotia and knowing that there is some white stuff waiting for us at home.  We have E signed up for skiing twice a week, so we need the snow to build up so we can start the lessons.



What I'm watching/reading...
We are watching the World Juniors Hockey Tournament.  This is a Christmas break tradition at our place.  I remember when we were still living in Halifax and had tickets to see Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury when they were on Team Canada.

I am reading All the Light We Cannot See.



What I'm listening to...
Serial Season 2.  It is a very interesting story again this year, and one I didn't know anything about.  I'm also thinking I will go back and listen to season 1 again.



What I'm wearing...
I picked up some leggings from Flow Active by our house.  I have worn them a lot so far; very comfy and still somewhat stylish when paired with the right top.



What I'm doing this weekend...
Cleaning, tidying and cooking.
 


What I'm looking forward to next month...
Skiing lessons, hopefully seeing Mockingjay Part 2 in theatres, going to the ROM with E's class.






What else is new... 


Not much else.  You can see our year in review here and my goals for January here.





Thanks for stopping by!  Happy New Year!
