Day Off

Today started off less than blissful... our car stared making a thumping noise spontaneously. Awesome. We have been dreading getting our car inspected for fear of it being in total disarray... luckily it was a completely positive experience and they discovered our car has THREE outstanding recalls and that the most major ongoing problem we have been dealing with (our car not starting on a regular basis) fits under the umbrella of the recall and FREE repair. Hallelujah!! We still have to fix our axel, get a tranni flush AND get a full tuneup.. but At least one major stress factor will be taken care of on Wednesday.

So since we spent a whole four hours at the mechanic, we decided to come home and cook a yummy dinner. Our favorite go-to dinner: Mock-Chicken Parm. Will also added sauteed chard and potatoes. 

we scarfed it ;) Sooooo delicious. 

The weather was acting like fall today. It even started raining. I was secretly pleased to put on my new knee high boots and prance around town in them. I say secretly because the winters here are so severe... and summer is close to being over. Sad face!




Now, for the finale:

MANGO BRULEE!!! Our new favorite thing in the world. And anyone can make it. 

*Sugar
*Mangos
*Oven 
*...and ice cream if you like

*broil for 10 minutes (watch it! it will burn. keep rotating it.)
*let it cool until the sugar crust hardens
*serve with vanilla ice cream sprinkled with cinnamon. 


It's like pie.
