After the last few busy weeks, we decided this long weekend would be all about chilling. No plans were made, except for a haircut appointment far overdue for me.
Saturday morning we enjoyed an amazing brunch of buttermilk banana pancakes topped with homemade fruit compote and greek yoghurt sauce, all to be washed down with fresh orange-carrot-pineapple juice. Afterward, we took a quick nap before we commenced planning for our evening meal. We ended up snacking on popcorn tossed in melted truffle butter (thanks for the idea, Ina!), crisp apples and juicy grapes, creamy cheese and avocado mashed with Hawaiian pink salt and butternut squash oil.
This morning we explored the Dupont Circle farmer's market. Being one of the last weekends to get fresh peaches and nectarines, my mum made it a mission to buy as many as we could carry. Below is a picture of her picking the best ones (you can see the determination in her eyes) among some other shots from our morning stroll at the market. Afterward we rewarded our morning efforts with a tasty dim sum brunch at Ping Pong Dupont and rolled home feeling as round as steamed buns.
I don't know what's next up for us on this chill weekend (ice cream? movie? nap? so many choices...) but I do know I could really get used to this...
