Week in Pictures: 8.06.2012
This past week I've been under the weather and didn't feel like myself again until Friday. Because of that not a bunch happened this week, but I did have a fun, relaxing weekend.

- While I was sick I enjoyed some ramen. There is nothing like soup when you are sick.
- I have some large zucchini in my garden that I need to figure out what to make with.
- Friday after work I felt like I needed a little pampering after being sick for a week and a half so I got a pedicure.

- At Target on Saturday I spotted Pocky for sale. Pocky is a Japanese snack of long thin biscuits dipped in chocolate. They also have other variations like strawberry or green tea and it is a favorite treat that I like to eat when I am in Japan. I was pretty excited to find it at Target and be able to buy it in the US, but the $3.49 price tag means I'm not going to get it very often.
- Saturday evening Frank and I had dinner at Pacific Rim since I was too sick to celebrate my birthday last weekend. We both got a Monsoon Plate for an appetizer which was delicious.
- For dinner I ordered the seared scallops. I especially loved the curry sauce that accompanied the dish.

- For lunch on Sunday I made myself a Caprese salad with tomatoes and basil from my garden. There is nothing like a fresh picked tomato. Yum!
- I picked up a pewter vase, little carafe and tart pan at the Ann Arbor ReUse Center for a total of $2.
- Sunday afternoon we went to take a brownie class at Zingerman's with Frank's niece. Zingerman's is a famous deli in Ann Arbor and taking the class meant being able to have several of their amazing brownie recipes.

Yum, all the food looks great, and what fun, a brownie class!! Happy belated birthday, bummer that you were sick that day, but that just gives you an excuse to keep celebrating ;p
Hilary- Thank you! I definitely enjoyed a lot of tasty food this past week and I have a big tray of brownies to snack on right now. Thank you for the birthday wishes as well. Hope you have a great week ahead!
Question: Do you buy block mozarella cheese for your caprese?
It looks divine!
Kathy- No, it's not block mozzarella. It's fresh mozzarella balls that are sold in containers of liquid. I just sliced it up for my salad. The liquid keeps it from drying out and it wonderful and creamy that way. Fresh mozzarella is one of my favorite things.
