Peaches anyone?

We went, we picked, we had fun, we ate.  You can fill in the other details.

 

 

 

 

 

Weekends are great!

Hello again.  It's Monday evening and Kam is watching the Mariners game so I thought I would share a few pics from our weekend.  Saturday morning we went out to breakfast at this little place I've been dying to go to, for breakfast that is.  We went there last year for our birthday dinner.  It was featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives a while back, so I thought it would be fun to check it out (again) for breakfast. The bird cage light was hanging in the bathroom.  The decor in the place is super cute vintage cottage vibe, the light kind of gives you an idea of the quirky cuteness of the place.  

Last week my new food processor arrived, so the first thing I had to make was peanut butter!  I didn't read any recipes, I just went for it.  I tried to copy Peanut Butter Companies Cinnamon Raisin.  It tastes really good, but its still a little more crumbly than smooth.  I was afraid how far I could push the food processor.  I didn't want to burn it up on the first use.  

Just Dex being Dex.  That nasty brown carpet underneath his goofy face is no longer brown, but back to its proper dingy shade of gray.  We shampooed carpets.  Well, I mostly supervised and held the cord out of the way while Kam did most of the work.  Thanks darlin'!

Annnndddddd...we finally picked our peaches!  I just love all these fruit festivals.  I have more to share on that later. 

Have a good week.  One day down!

Take'n it easy...

Well, how was your weekends?  Ours was fantastically lazy.  I read and cooked, Kam lounged and watched baseball and the Olympics and Dex pouted waiting for his next walk.  Remember I mentioned something on Friday about possibly going to the peach festival?  Yep, didn't do that.  But I did manage to get over to Joann's Fabric and take advantage of their sale.  I got some $20 dollar-a-yard upholstery fabric for about $6 per yard.  Score!

Friday night I made a really yummy pasta salad and Saturday was pizza on the bbq.  I thought I'd share the main components that went into each, because they were both really good!

Ham and Honey Mustard Pasta Salad:
Cubed ham
Carrots, celery, red and green pepper
Graded cheddar
Honey mustard salad dressing combined with a little light mayo and low fat greek yogurt (and a few spices)
Served my favorite way for any pasta salad: on a bed of greens.  Usually I just use spinach, but this time I had my all time fav on hand... ARUGLA! So good.

Peach Prosciutto Pizza:
Pizza Crust
Red Sauce
Prosciutto
Mozzarella
walnuts
Fresh Peaches
topped with fresh basil and arugula

Hope you all have a good week planned.  We are going tonight to get locking gas caps because some butt nuggets keep syphoning gas from our neighborhood.  I know we've been hit at least twice.  On a better note, we sold our little floral love seat on craigslist last night!  Woop!  I thought I was going to have to give it away, but nope, cash in my pocket.  Have a great week everyone!
