Happy Happy Saturday!!!!
Did you know?
Saturday is my FAVORITE day of the week!
It is normally a no- work zone, a free pass, a WHATEVER day.
Man… I do like whatever days!
Here is this whatever days plan:
Currently coffee. Big cups and straight black just the way I like it… but later… I will be trying the Singapore recipe from Cheryl (see recipe at the end of this post)
Next up: Book review for this afternoon and a bit o’ blog hopping…. still so behind….
Get ready for YMCA – Zumba class at 10 am followed by 30 minutes of Yoga sounds like a good way to kick off the day
Brainerd Library…. think I am going to go and sit in it. I know, right? I never do that… but thought Laptop and I might go in and see what happens in the library (I bet there is reading!)
Stopping at store for dinner items for Al and I tonight and for the makings of the above mentioned Singapore Coffee for the below recipe of Singapore Coffee. 😛
Home until 4:30 when I do the pick up for the homeless program and then after orientation with my new overnighters I am home for dinner prep while listening to audio because honestly… I have to get the audio back to the library 😀
I am lovin’ this Saturday! And because I love love love seeing the yummy foody connections over at Beth Fish Reads for Weekend Cooking, I had to include the coffee recipe that I am so excited to try!
Here is Cheryl’s recipe (Cheryl author of the book A Tiger In The Kitchen and my earlier this week author chat)
Recipe: K.F. Seetoh’s Kopitiam Coffee
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons condensed milk
• 1.5 tablespoons evaporated milk
• 1.5 tablespoons ground coffee
• 3/4 cup hot water
Place sugar, condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a coffee cup, and the ground coffee in a cloth sock. Run hot water through the sock and into the cup. Serve immediately.
Hmmm….. I think I am going to have to buy a sock too….. 😛
Oh and one last thing… I love Alyce’s Saturday Snapshot and mostly enjoy plucking through old pictures that seem to speak to me….. well, you know I am sooooooo tired of winter so had to go this way today:
Stop by and see Alyce At Home With Books and add your own Saturday Snapshot! I can’t wait to start riding again! 😀
Book Journey 
Yes, a low-commitment Saturday is excellent! We’re going to see some good friends for a bit this afternoon, but that’s the only thing on the schedule here. 😀
Oh that’s fun Hannah! 🙂 Have a great day!
Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.
So, how was the coffee?
OOH yum but I think highly caloric with the sweetened condensed milk in it… 😀
I took a picture of it – if I remember I will add it to the morning post 🙂
Oh yeah, tired of winter . . . me too. I’m looking forward to seeing some green outside.
I am so waiting for this Trish! I am just itching to go bike riding and getting involved again! 😀
Enjoy your weekend! That coffee sounds fantastic!
Thanks Carol – I am so curious about it… and it sounds so cultural 😛
A sock? :0
Yeah…. I know…. whats up with the sock? LOL
I will probably use like a cheese cloth 🙂
Love the photos!!! I am soooooo sick of my winter coat. Sadly, we can get snow here into April. Sigh.
That coffee sound yummy. I have a drip cone, and I bet that will work perfectly for this recipe. Funny, I normally drink my coffee strong and black. But I admit that this looks good. Maybe a little sprinkle of cinnamon??
I have to work today, but I encourage you to enjoy the day off.
Beth I just seen they are calling for snow throughout the week. SNOW. GAH.
We have had snow in April too… a few years ago we had a huge snow storm Easter weekend.
I think the coffee may become my comfort drink.. 😛
Great shots. I know how you feel about being tired of winter! My new bike just arrived — I am so ready to get on it, but winter won’t seem to move on.
Oh a new bike! I bought mine two summers ago and I love it!!! I baby it even. It has been in a spare bedroom all winter because the garage…. is not good enough for it. LOL 😀
I’m tired of winter as well. We have stormy days coming up, but hopefully no snow. I need me some coffee too, or a latte.
I think I am on my fourth cup Kristen…. Zumba class should be really interesting if I have to keep running to the bathroom 😀
Ah, I love your spring shots…hope they help move it along to spring….
I’m waiting eagerly for it, too, and we didn’t even have any snow…just rain and fog.
Today I’m reading The Weird Sisters on Sparky, my Kindle.
Here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT
I hope so too Laurel – I need to get outside 😀
I want to read the Weird Sisters! Enjoy!
Wow, you have a busy day. I haven’t had a whatever day for ages. Enjoy!
I am soooo enjoying it Vivienne 🙂
Enjoy your weekend! It looks like y’all enjoyed your bike ride last year!
We did enjoy it Kathy but I remember it was kind of rainy and cool – this year I hope this ride is warmer and that we can go farther 🙂
haha….your ‘whatever’ Saturday is filled with things to do…but they are your things and it’s fun to do them, isn’t it?
The coffee sounds good… but a sock? Really? I might have to buy one too.
LOL…. yeah… a sock! 😛
You don’t suppose Cheryl is messing with me do you? 😯
I hear you about winter. It seems to be going on extra long this year.
I love coffee… I’m drinking a huge mug right now and that recipe looks inviting.
And, you had to remind me about the yoga! I was thinking of.. kinda.. .slacking off today.
I think last year I could see green on the ground by now… not this year. We are still very snow covered.
This was my first yoga class…
I liked it 😀
Saturdays are wonderful. While I have no real commitments on Saturday or Sunday, the husband is not home on Saturday…..I get the house all to myself…. 🙂
My hubby is out working today too Trisha so yes… house to myself. I am about to go watch a movie 🙂
Great spring photos! Maybe they can hurry the spring along better than the groundhog!
Thanks for stopping by my Saturday Snapshot.
Oh yeah…. the groundhog…. he and I are going to have strong words. 😀
The orange peel in the mouth — a classic! I couldn’t help notice the banana peel too. Fun photos.
Do whatever days are my favorite too. Love the pics you posted and I have to agree – I am so tired of winter already. We are getting yet more snow today which is an even better excuse to stay in with a book. Have a great day an oh, that coffee recipe sounds awesome!
I cant wait to make the coffee…. it sounds pretty simple 😉
Hi!
Great snapshots. You all look so happy and having lots of fun. Have a great day!
Sherrie
Just Books
Thanks Sherrie 😉
Happy Saturday honey! I hope you have a lovely day!
Thanks Rebecca 😀
Sounds like a very fulfilling and happy Saturday!
Thanks Nan! It has been a good one 😉
you have to love a ‘whatever’ day.
In assume I could use one of those reusable one cup coffee filter instead of a sock…
Ok I am feeling pretty dumb right now as I just made the coffee straining the grounds through cheese cloth…
I bet the filter would have worked just as well. 😛
Your photos are fun! I need to get more photos of my husband when he goes on rides like that. I was reading your comment above and I think that cheese cloth might still be easier than the disposable filter. I’ve used one of those filters over a cup before and made a huge mess. That could just be me though. 😉
I had a mess with the cheesecloth too Alyce… but it was a yummy coffee 🙂
That is an interesting coffee recipe. Definitely worth trying!
I had it last night Rikki – it was good!
Big cups of black coffee and reading sounds like the perfect day to me – lately haven’t been able to drink strong coffee as get headaches and shaky hands but will be back on it soon!
Oh I hope things are ok! I do like my coffee but if I do not eat something with it I get a headache too.
