Happy Monday y’all!! No joke you guys, I was afraid I wasn’t even going to be able to post today. Why? well, for starters my beloved Macbook Pro of 5 years kicked the bucket big time unexpectedly (RIP Javier-yes, I named my computer, don’t judge me) last week, which meant I made a mad (in tears) dash to the Apple store to try to revive him.
There was no fixing to be done that night which meant buying a brand spanking new one that evening. My external hard drive had to be left with the store in hopes to get anything (especially all of my food pics) off of my computer since I had not done any backups in over a month sssiiiggh, and when I finally got it back they wouldn’t transfer my stuff onto my new computer like they said they would (at that point I thought my head would explode, y’all ever feel like that?).
Anyways, I got almost everything I wanted off of my hard drive and onto my new Macbook Pro (which still doesn’t have a name yet) with the help of my dad (thanks dad!!) then I proceeded (with the help of my very large and overzealous dog) to drop my iPhone face first onto the tile floor and smashed the cover into a bajillion glass pieces double siiiggghh.
Soo, yeah it’s been that kind of week, and as someone who is usually happy and positive I’ve been feeling slightly grouchy. Sooo, I figured one of my favorite cheat restaurant dishes would fix the grouch, and it totally did. The smell of the bread toasting, the fresh basil, mozzarella and tomatoes, oh my, I’m in love, this stuff is awesome and sooo easy to make. Y’all have an awesome day and week, and I hope to do the same haha.
