Checking In XVII

Checking In A Spoonful of TLC
Hello and Happy Friday, from Madrid, Spain!  If you’re new around here, I write these Checking In posts just to fill in some random tidbits of information.  I have been writing these types of posts for over 3 years and I love looking back on them!  The above photo was my breakfast for the last few days: plain yogurt, cereal, milk, and the last of the juicy peaches for the season.  I grabbed a few peaches thinking they would probably be mealy, but they were on super sale and I thought that at worst, they would end up in a smoothie.  I was delighted to see that they were perfectly juicey, sweet, and a little tangy!  And they were huge so one peach lasted for 2 days.  Now, bring on the oatmeal!  It’s 9:54 am on Friday, October 4th, 2019.  Let’s do this!
 
Making: nothing at the moment, but the day will include making: 42 bagels, 2 challahs and a pumpkin pie.  As soon as this gets posted, I have to get to it!
Cooking:  lots of roasted veggies.  Specifically: eggplant, sweet potatoes, and zucchini.  If you have roasted vegetables, you can build anything around it.
Drinking: water and coffee atm.
Reading:  Nothing.  I wish I had a good book to get into right now!  I am on the wait list for A LOT of books, but so is everyone and their mother, so I don’t expect to get anything anytime soon.
Wanting: not much right now.  My new budgeting hobby has made it very fun to save my money instead of spend it.  More coming soon!
Looking: forward to the weekend!  We have a pretty relaxing weekend on the books- workouts, some bagels, a food market on Sunday.  And next weekend we are going to GENEVA and I am SO EXCITED!  And then right from Geneva, heading off on another trip!
Eating: I have been eating a lot of tofu lately since I learned how to make it crispy is the oven oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and corn starch).  I am going to try to eat less though, since they say too much tofu isn’t good.
Wishing: I didn’t have a tour tonight!  I don’t really like them on Friday nights, but I’m sure it will be fun.
Enjoying: all of the plants I purchased!  I love that when I sit down to use the computer, I can smell them.  Now I just need to keep them alive.
Loving: this new blog tab I added to my Bruja’s Bakery website!  So fun!
Hoping: that next week in Geneva is as fun as I hope it is!  And also hoping that we find a suitable Bruja’s Bakery location soon.
Listening: to Bastille.  I go back and forth with my obsession with Bastille and right now, I’m all in.
Feeling: excited for the weekend!  Also a little impatient about Bruja’s Bakery, but things happen when they should.
Wearing: to be honest, my pajamas and flip flos.  About to put on my baking uniform, though 😉
Watching: Luis and I started Elite last night.  I liked it, but we will see if I really get into it.  We just watched Unbelievable and THAT was a good show.  Sad, but very, very well done.
Bookmarking: these avocado deviled eggs.  I saved the recipe for a possible Thanksgiving appetizer.  Yes, it’s the beginning of October and I am thinking about Thanksgiving.  To be honest, I started thinking about it in July 😉
