Friday’s Fave Five

Posted on by

Susanne at Living To Tell the Story has begun a Friday Fave Five in which we’re invited to tell about five favorite things from the previous week. It can be “Favorite quotes, posts, happenings, scriptures, recipes, etc.” Today’s participants are here.

Here are my Fave Five:

1. Jason’s arriving home from his summer in CA. It’s nice to have all the family back together again.

2. Watching the Olympics. I’m not usually a sports fan, but there is just something about the Olympics that draws me. My favorite moments from this week was Shawn Johnson winning her gold and Jonathan Horton winning his silver. Yang Wei’s performance on the pommel horse during the gala was entertaining (tried to fins a video of it on the NBC site but only saw the American’s gala performances there).

3. My birthday cake!

My birthday cake!

Devil’s food with chocolate chip icing! Pretty and yummy! It was made by a lady at our church: actually I discovered on her Facebook page that she was making cakes from her home for people.

4. The music from one of my gifts, the soundtrack to the Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice. As far as the film itself goes, I actually like the earlier A&E version with Colin Firth better overall, but there were parts of this I liked as well. But I really liked the music, especially loved the track “Liz on Top of the World.”

5. Birthday dinner at Outback!! With leftovers for lunch today! At first I didn’t see my favorite entree, the Drover’s Platter, listed, which has both chicken and baby back ribs, and I thought, “Oh, no! I am going to have to choose one or the other?!” But when I asked the waiter, he said they still had it. Love their bread, too!

  1. Look at that cake! Happy Birthday to you! I wish we had an Outback. I hear all my bloggy friends talking about how good it is.

    I have been glued to the Olympics. Many exciting moments this time around.

    Thanks for playing Barbara. I really enjoyed reading your answers.

  2. Love that cake! Glad you had a satisfying b-day.

    Sometimes my husband and I order just bread and cheese fries at Outback. Yum!

  3. Mmmmm… that cake definitely looks like it hit the spot! And QUITE pretty too! So glad you enjoyed your dinner at Outback! We have an outback in Annapolis that is REALLY good! But then we have a new one that opened about a year ago just a few miles from our house – and it is NOT SO GOOD. I really think management has sO much to do with it. We’ve eaten at the one down here twice – and we were ALL disappointed both times – so we’ve sorta sworn off it now. The problem with going to the one in Annapolis is that we have so many OTHER favorite restaurants there – and they are on the water! WHY go to Outback in the middle of a shopping center if we can get good dinner and a VIEW too!? LOL! But I have to admit … I LOVE a Bloomin’ Onion!

  5. The cake is great Barbara. It sounds like you had a great Birthday week. enjoy the leftovers…
