Food & Fun

The garden has sprouted!!! Yesterday B. and I noticed that we have our first signs of actual growth in our new garden. It's so exciting!! I've never really grown anything from scratch before, so the fact that we spotted a little pepper and that our tomato and onion plants are doing so well was big news!

Hi little pepper!

Walla Walla Onions

A very healthy looking tomato plant

Last night we continued our food celebration by having a friend over for dinner and making my famous homemade spinach and mushroom raviolis, paired with garlic bread and a bottle of local white wine. Usually our Friday nights consist of take-out Chinese and our couch, so this was a lovely change of pace. A great way to celebrate the start of the weekend. The only snafu occurred when B. went to make the garlic bread and realized that we hadn't cleaned out the oven yet. Thanks to the fire, it was still filled with burnt walnuts and a lot of fire extinguisher powder. But ever the quick thinker, B. enlisted the help of our vacuum and the oven was (basically) clean in no time.

Now we're headed to Rochester to meet with wedding photographers and see our good friends. Have a great weekend!
