This weekend life was back to ‘normal’. After 6 consecutive weekends filled with family and friends, I was ready for a quiet weekend in Kansas. The weekend was quiet, but also pretty wonderful as I continued to explore this new state (and Missouri too!). I am starting to find ‘favorites’, that I cannot wait to share with visitors!
Friday night we (BF and I) had dinner at a new favorite Esquina. This is becoming my new go-to for decently priced upscale Mexican cuisine. The menu is interesting; the atmosphere is cool and casual—my kind of place. After dinner, we watched the World Series (Go Cardinals!)
Saturday I felt very Kansas (or Missouri?). I experienced my first cattle show. YUP. A cattle show. It was very interesting. I am a LOVER of cows, and this was definitely cow overload. Just imagine a dog show…but cows. Interesting. After the cattle show, we went to the Red Barn Farm in Weston, Missouri. This place was absolutely beautiful, even if their pumpkin patches were very pathetic...
On the way to the Red Barn Farm, we sampled some 360 Vodka made at a distillery in Weston. It was FABULOUS. Seriously. We had to bring home the ‘Double Chocolate’ vodka, this stuff is dangerous…you can just sip on it!
Sunday nights are so weird, right? I seriously cannot relax. All I can do is think about the week. I keep thinking about all the work I should do, and how I should start it right now, then I remind myself it probably won’t be my best work starting it so late…
The ‘homesickness’ kicks in on Sundays too; I think this is because everything is quieting down. After a full workweek, and weekend fun, it’s just…quiet. With it so quiet, I just think and think…about the people, places, and experiences I miss.
I need a good book.
On the bright side, the BF is coming over tomorrow and I am attempting my Mom’s Chili and apple crisp recipes. VERY EXCITED for our little Halloween celebration :)
Speaking of Halloween…I have learned when you live alone it is NOT a great idea to buy Halloween Candy. Darn those festive orange kit-kats…
