I went to a
Loverboy concert in 1982 and I haven't been able to get that song out of my head since. I was only 12 at the time, just so you understand the length of the mental torture. Still, it's not a bad tune, and it makes a point: we're all searching for something to look forward to.
I've been looking forward to this weekend because House of Cards Season 3 is up on Netflix, that's an obvious one. But I'm also planning to cook with vermouth and butter, a delicious combination if ever there was one.

I bought a book because Wendy told me about the author:
 |
| Wendy recommended. It's excellent of course, she does not lie. |
Even though I am a gluten-free person I make pizza for MrBP and The Rascals, I'm not asking for a medal or anything but I think we can all agree that it is a selfless act.
 |
| Pizza dough "resting" or hiding, really. |
I'm not sure why I find this Italian tomato paste in a tube so pleasing but I just do. It's economical, stays fresh, has intense flavour...win win win.

I recommend harissa as a pizza spice, it has a little heat which is slightly unexpected.
This weekend we're planning to binge-watch some Netflix (of course), drink some wine, take Scout on snowy walks, NOT wear sweater pants, host a lunch for MrBP's parents, drink some coffee while reading the paper and generally take on the feeling of a mini-holiday, which the weekend should be, don't you think?

| Mmmm coffee... just add New York Times. |
What are you looking forward to?
