Vegas might love me a little. Don’t tell anyone.

My Life

18 Jun

Hello! Today was my little brother’s 8th grade commencement ceremony. I made sure to be back in time so I wouldn’t miss it. When he was little I loved helping to take care of him. He’s one of my favorite people so I am having one of those – ‘I can’t believe he’s going to high school’ moments. Ha! But yeah.

I’m in charge of making agua frescas for his party this weekend. I haven’t made them before so wish me luck that I do a good job and don’t ruin the whole thing and everyone gets dehydrated!

After the ceremony I headed back home to clean and unpack. I basically ran out of the house two weeks ago and left everything in shambles! So, I kept my lapper closed and just tried to get it together.

I also hit up Costco for some food essentials. I knew I wasn’t going to want to cook dinner so I picked up a salad kit and California rolls. Costco saves the night!

I also picked up my FAVORITE …

my favorite food ever (800x600)

And I know this seems super hard to believe, but I think Vegas actually likes me a tiny bit. I collapsed on the couch to be lazy and he came over to hang out by me…

Hey…

Question: What’s your favorite thing from Costco?

Got any agua fresas recipes for me?

    I love the Asian chicken wraps and chicken salad from Costco. Also their food should taste good rice crackers are delicious!

    The only reason I have a car here in the city is to get to Costco. My husband and I go through so many smoothies that I have to stock up on like 6 bags of Power Greens when I go. My favorite thing lately though is their smoked salmon. MMM.

    Favorite thing from Costco is the Froyo from the deli, for real. Van and Choc swirl. I get it every time!

      They didn’t have any good samples yesterday, just some smoked gouda I didn’t like. I should go back…

    Congrats to your brother! My son just graduated 8th grade too and I’m pretty much in denial about him starting high school!
    Is the Costco sushi any good?! I’ll have to try some next time I’m there!

      Congrats to your guy too! Can you believe it? They seem so little!

      I like Costco sushi, but I don’t like sashimi anyway so I’m not fancy and eat whatever.

    I love the big chicken pot pies from Costco. We also buy a lot of bottled water from there. Your blog makes me happy!

      I haven’t tried those pot pies, but bought one for my brother and sis in law after they had a baby. Good to know it was actually good 🙂

    I have never heard of aguas frescas, but it sounds refreshing and delicious. Cannot wait to hear how it turns out! I love Costco’s premade meals–their chicken salad hits the spot 🙂
