Hubby and I tried cooking a new pasta dish. It was delicious – pasta shells and bacon drenched in a cheese sauce. Will try again but with a different sauce as the cheese sauce was a bit rich.
We went to a restaurant we'd never been to before in Darling. Enjoyable and the food was good.
I tried a new gym class – Pound. Loved every moment and have done 3 this month.
Went on a hike in De Hoop and went to see the vultures up Potberg Mountain. Amazing experience. Cannot wait to go back.
Tried a different wine instead of my usual rose. Loving the Nederberg Stein I've discovered.
Read a book by a new Author. Laura Marshall's "Friend Request". You can read the review here. https://my30somethingadventures.wordpress.com/2019/01/23/book-review-friend-request-by-laura-marshall/ Super creepy book that kept me guessing.
What about you? Did you try anything new in January?
There is alot to be said for trying new things. Wonder what February holds?
I keep hearing about the book Friend Request and have heard positive reviews on it! I am going to pick it up next time I'm in the library.
I tried a lot of new recipes in January. I received an Instant Pot for Christmas (I know, I'm behind on the times) and it's my new favorite kitchen toy.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did – I love a book that keeps me guessing.
I love that you picked the word adventure and I agree, it can be applied to many, many things… I tried two new recipes in January and they were both successes!
The more I thought about my word for 2019, the more I realized it can be applied to so many different things and I'm excited to try new things (and do a recap) each month.
Now I'm intrigued, what kind of class is pound? I read Friend Request and loved it – it had me guessing right until the very end. I made a new dessert – Tiramisu and found a new author – Martha Hall Kelly, her debut novel is called 'Lilac Girls' and it's magnificent!
Yes I honestly didn't guess the end either!
Pound is a lot of fun – it combines pilates and yoga infused movements with drumming (lightly weighted ripstix).
Mmmmm, that pasta dish sounds delicious!
They are lightly weighted ripstix – very light and easy to work out with.
The pasta dish was really good but I'm looking forward to trying a different sauce next time.
