The weekend after...

I hope everyone enjoyed their Monday. I loved hearing about everyone's traffic jams. They suck, and even worse for a holiday weekend. Even in Vegas the traffic was terrible. It is obviously different here with cows being the main reason for anyone ever being late to get somewhere. There is a highway now on this island, but there really is no traffic from cars neding to get through. In fact, only the town of Angra has a few traffic lights. Everything else uses stop signs, or even worse, you can play Russian Roulette at an intersection (AKA no traffic signal, no sign, no nothin').

So, on to my weekend after Thanksgiving. I had a craving for some dip, so I made the sun dried tomato version from this pack.

After doing nothing but homework on Saturday we decided to continue the trend and not go out for dinner. So I made some Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burgers. I love to use this pan because it leaves grill lines on the burgers.
I guess I like those grill lines.
You can kinda see the lines here.

The finished product. Quick and easy and we got some protein for the night.

On one of our grocery trips this weekend to the local grocery store, Modelo, Ryan could not resist buying a product called Weetabix. Although I have had this before in Europe, this was new to Ryan and I think he enjoyed it yesterday when he tried it.

Sunday was devoted to a classic. If you remember, I mentioned before we are watching Oscar winning films, so we were up to Gone with the Wind. Neither of us had seen this before, so we went all out and ordered the new 70th year collectors edition. This movie is almost 4 hours so we turned on the heater, climbed on the couch, and grabbed a snack/dinner.
Bagel bites mini pizza make a quick easy snack. If I had planned in advance I would have made mini pita pizzas.

Here are some of the cool things inside the very, very heavy collector's edition box.

The movie was fantastic and well worth the 4 hour time investment.

This week I am subbing for middle school science. This is a m-w-f schedule this week so I can still do my work with the AVID program. For lunch on Monday I had these fine fruits. maybe too many fruits at once as I was soooooo full.

Monday afternoon I also opened some packages sent from my mom, who was forwarding some goodies I won.

First up is this amazing bag filled with larabars. I won these from Shannon at Tropical Eats . I am soooooo happy to have these here.

Yum, yum. Also got some Honest granola in here too.

Next up I also got some Nature's Path goodies from a giveaway I won from Julie at juliegolean . I was super excited to find out they included extra cereal boxes for me and my hubby since we are living abroad and don't have access to these goodies. As my mom can only fit so much in one box, she only sent some of the cereals and granola bars, so I have more on the way I should be getting soon.

I start class tonight, so I will have a full week. Lots of grading, subbing and going to school. I am looking forward to this class, so I am excited.

QUESTION: What's your favorite CLASSIC movie? Do you prefer comedy, action or romance flicks?
