Weekend Reflections: 2000 grams of sugar

Some weekends have the beauty of utter relaxation. This weekend turned out to be one of those super exciting snuggly routine kinda weekends but I’ll bore you with the details and unfortunate lack of photos regardless. Matt had an early day on Friday so I worked from home for a little extra time together.  The best part about working from home is not having to wear pants and being able to make fun lunches like flat bread grilled chicken pizza’s – yuuuum! 6 IMG_5277 IMG_5278

After work we went to the range to hit a few balls and then went to a local italian/pizza place close by for dinner.  They had the most delicious salad with Mixed greens, goat cheese, candied walnuts, grilled local peaches, drizzled honey, grilled chicken, and a blueberry vinaigrette (not pictured/inhaled).

Saturday then became the day we consumed 2000 grams of sugar!  Matt was golfing with some buddies so I headed to the gym for an amazingly sweaty glute workout.  Then met a girlfriend to head to the Carolina Beach.  A new gourmet donut shop (Wake N Bake) opened up out there so we decided we would check it out.  Once we saw the display we knew that we needed to sample the lot! 1

We got a half dozen to share along with the largest and most delicious blueberry fritter I have ever tasted! 2

From left to right we got: chocolate peanut butter cup, white chocolate wonderful, samoa, maple bacon, creme brulee & the turtle.  I didn’t try the maple bacon (I actually do not like bacon) and the white chocolate and creme brulee ones were a little too sweet for me.  The samoa, turtle, and chocolate peanut butter were ammmmazing though!  Nothing can top the blueberry fritter though, I can’t stop thinking about it! It was perfectly cooked so it was nice and crispy and flaky on the outside but cakey on the inside – not too sweet but just right.

We ended up with a graveyard of donuts and barely finished half.  We spent the next few hours laying our beached whale bodies in the sun.  Matt called to say that he was finished around 3 so we headed back to meet him.  He didn’t have the greatest round so we went back to surprise him with the maple bacon & boston cream bacon donuts. 7

We ended up hanging out at her house watching harry potter for the rest of the afternoon.  Later that evening we were starving for real food so we grabbed some dinner and then ended up getting huge sundae’s at Brusters.  As if we hadn’t already had enough sugar. 8

The rest of the weekend was spent detoxing from sugar, lounging around watching Harry Potter, the gym, a little housework & an electrician visit (this time not due to me hanging curtains).

XO, Casey
