Sundays, lovely Sundays

There's one weekly tradition that I will not break - Sunday evening wind down. I've treated Sunday not as the end of the week, but as a day to prepare for the upcoming week since I was in my early teens. I will only break this ritual for family, and even then it might be begrudged.

The house is clean, the laundry complete, lunches made, outfits arranged for the week...all by 5pm Sunday. I'm ready to take on the week and Monday won't know what hit it!

After the weekly chores are complete, Travis and I prepare a meal that is deemed "special" and watch our favorite TV shows. This season, it's True Blood.

In preparation for our upcoming trip to Durham, North Carolina and a planned meal at Toast - I decided to create a few crostini for our "special meal".

Our Sunday night, wind-down crostini:
Pea Pesto: Fresh, but really strong with garlic. Don't know if we'll try this one again.
Mushrooms with Feta: Ehh...needs more flavor. Try again.
Goat Cheese, honey and pepper: Yum! But what isn't good with goat cheese?
Shrimp mosca: Tasty! A little too much garlic for us, but tasty nonetheless.



*Note: I cannot tell you how excited I am to eat at Toast, a place that many of my friends have talked about over the past year. I'm still undecided on what to order, but I'm certain there's a warm goat cheese and honey crostini calling my name!
