Back from another great vacation

We had a wonderful time in Mexico with Callie's family. Yes, we had our ups and downs but by the end it was a great trip. Everyone came back with a little color and pretty tired of the heat and tortillas.

A couple of photos from our parent's 30th Anniversary Photo Shoot on the beach.

It's Almost Friday

It's almost Friday, which of course brings my favorite...the weekend. This weekend we have visitors. Carrie and Blake will make the journey up to Minnesota for the weekend to hang out while they wait for their apartment to open up. We will be headed up to the cities to Ikea to look for odds and ends for their new place.

With guests coming I better put the ole apron on and get into the kitchen. I'm thinking...

Saturday
B: Vanilla Bean Scones
D: Pineapple Skewered Shrimp, Garlic New Potatos, Ceasar Salad, Bread

Sunday
B: French Toast & Fruit Salad
D: Beer Can Chicken, Grilled Vegtables, Corn Casserole and Strawberry Short Cake

All homemade including the scones and bread!

If you haven't heard, I am now the biggest fan of Artisan Bread in Five Mintues a Day. I am amazed that I am now able to make bread that is out of this world. Wonderful crunch to the crust with a chewy inside with a deep flavor...taste like it was from a speciality bread shop. But really just made by me. This week alone I have already made 1 loaf plus 2 pizzas. Feels good to be able to turn out such a great end product on your own!

Now if I could only find someone to do the all the dishes....
