Tonight I made Megan's famous "Butter Chicken". This is a recipe that my dear friend Megan shared with me. It was my second time making it, and WE LOVE IT!!!! We also had brown rice, and sugar snap peas. Yummo
! I could talk about food all day. I love cooking (and I am learning to be more adventurous). One of my favorite things to do is have (or go to) dinner parties. Chris and I are trying to host one dinner party a month. We had one last month with a couple from church. We had Italian night, and it was great! It was a fantastic way to get to know the other couple better, and eat yummy food at the same time. If anyone is interested in coming to a dinner party at our home, please let us know! We'd love to have you over!Going along with the food theme, I thought I would post a few pictures from our weekend. Chris and I went to Port Aransas
with my family Sunday. Chris, Mariah
, and I were taking some goofy pictures on these parking post things, and when Mariah
stepped off one of them, she stepped on a bee and it stung her foot. Like the responsible, knowledgeable
big sister I am, I immediatley told her to rub mustard on it!! Ha ha ha! I'm not sure if it worked but she stopped crying! HA HA HA HAEnjoy!
This has been an incredible week, and its not even over yet! Yesterday my hubby surprised me at work (via Nikki and my godsons) with a huge bouquet of white and red roses! I was super excited! I had them on my desk all day and enjoyed the sweet remarks and evil eyes of my coworkers! HA HA! I came home after work, and tidied up around the house until Chris came home. He had asked me to make dinner, but I wasn't feeling really creative so I just moseyed around the kitchen until he decided what HE wanted for dinner. He suggested pancakes, bacon, and eggs to my surprise!! (Side Note: I love breakfast for dinner and pancakes are my FAVORITE food. Chris thinks its weird to eat breakfast foods any other time than morning [unless we are at IHOP], so when he suggested this, I was up and ready to start cooking!) I started preparing the pancake batter and thought cinnamon would be super yummy in them, and also substituted Soy milk for regular milk. Most of you know that I don't drink regular milk that often because it hurts my stomach, so I drink soy instead...and I think it tastes better. ANYWAY, I didn't know how the pancakes would turn out with the soy milk, but they were glorious!!!So when dinner was ready, Chris asked me if I wanted to watch a movie. I didn't really want to because I was watching "Bridgett's Sexiest Beaches" (which I LOVE), but he proceeded to put a dvd in anyway. I didn't know what movie he put in, I just patiently sat waiting to see what it was. When I did finally realize what it was, I teared up. It was our wedding video!!! My uncle filmed our wedding, but we just had never taken the time to convert it to a dvd, and when we did show interest in doing it over a year ago, we had some technical difficulties with the sound and picture. I just forgot about it, but I guess Chris had been working on it for awhile. He had a former coworker fix it and edit it. It was a beautiful thing to watch together. Chris and I both teared up a few times, and laughed like crazy too. I told him I will probably watch it EVERYDAY for the next few months! HA HA HA. I would love to share it with anyone who wants to come over and watch it!SO right now I am waiting for Nikki and the boys to come over so we can have a picnic by the lighthouse. I have a bottle of wine, and some fancy cheeses, and some crackers and I am really excited to spend some time with them. Tonight, I am going to the KENNY CHESNEY concert with Mariah!!!!! YAY!! Mariah called me a few nights ago and asked me what I was doing on Friday (today) and I told her about the picnic, and said I didn't have any other plans after that. She then asked me if I wanted to go to the Kenny concert, which I have been wanting to go to for the last few months...of course I said yes!! So that is what we will be doing tonight! I can't wait! I need to get ready for the picnic now! I will definitely update ya'll on the concert and the rest of my birthday weekend!
