Well that was a “challenging” week, as my weeks go. \u00a0Which, honestly, are not really all that challenging. \u00a0All the same, it caught up with me and I didn’t do a whole lot for the weekend. \u00a0I was spent.<\/p>\n

We did get things started off strong though, attending a fun dinner at Hart 2 Hart Vineyard on Friday night. \u00a0We went last year to the same event and had a great time, so we figured we’d give it a go again. \u00a0Had a fine time again, I label it an annual event for us. \u00a0I’d say they got lucky with the weather, that didn’t hurt things. \u00a0It’s been intermittently blazing hot and freezing cold out here; \u00a0Friday night split the difference quite nicely. \u00a0Listened to some good music, had a tasty tri-tip dinner, and yes a few glasses of their “product.”<\/p>\n

Saturday we hunkered down for the day. \u00a0If we did anything at all, it must not have been too interesting because I can’t remember what it was. \u00a0Of course, I can’t seem to remember anything that happened over an hour ago so maybe I did the funnest thing ever and just can’t recall. \u00a0Who knows. \u00a0It was another rather pleasant day outside, so I watched the Royals game in the back yard, and then wrapped things up with The Green Inferno<\/a>. \u00a0Truly a cinematic masterpiece, I suggest rounding up the kids and taking the family out to see it for some wholesome entertainment. \u00a0Or maybe sticking with Finding Dora would be a better idea.<\/p>\n

Sunday we got out and about a little bit. \u00a0The weather was creeping up the temp scale again, so I took off medium-early on a nice road bike ride. \u00a0I’d taken my bicycle in to the shop Saturday for a re-check on a mysterious noise it was making, and wanted to get a good test ride in. \u00a0I think they got it this time, I got in 20 miles in blissful silence. \u00a0(Except for my ragged breathing and popping knees. \u00a0At least the bike was running well.) \u00a0After that solid start, we headed out for a quick bite to eat. \u00a0I must say, I seriously underestimated the size of the Father’s Day crowds. \u00a0The people out here must take the day seriously. \u00a0Or, just as likely, there aren’t that many choices so everybody goes to the same place. \u00a0I had a Hop House<\/a> burger in mind myself. \u00a0Apparently so did a few hundred other people. \u00a0I wasn’t up for the crowd there, so we walked next door to Bistro 33<\/a>. \u00a0It’s always a solid bet, if a bit on the spendier side. \u00a0We had a great lunch though. \u00a0Matter of fact, we’ve had a good meal twice in a row, which may be our\u00a0standing record for eateries around here. \u00a0After that we did some light grocery shopping, then headed to the neighborhood pool with some friends to get out of the heat for a bit. \u00a0After a nice cool-down, we headed back to the house to fix some dinner and watch some basketball game that was on. \u00a0Another buddy called looking for advice on where to watch the game, so he came over too; \u00a0The more the merrier. \u00a0(I really had little to no interest in the game, but the locals seemed excited about\u00a0it. \u00a0It was<\/strong> a pretty good game, I’ll give it that.) \u00a0We field-tested a new recipe on everybody, shishito peppers and shrimp. \u00a0Didn’t come out too bad at all, I can see us fixing it again in the future. \u00a0Of little to no interest, this dish marked my first use of Liquid Smoke in all my fifty years. \u00a0Still strikes me as an odd product, but it called for it so I figured what the heck.<\/p>\n

I’m a little short on pics this week… \u00a0One from the dinner Friday night and a short video of Teagan playing in her pool. \u00a0Guess I should have take a picture of the shrimp on the grill, they were rather festive.<\/p>\n
