Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it. Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...
I can't wait to see where your food photography takes you! I already think you're food pics are good enough to eat!!!
ReplyDeleteOhh all of your meals look delicious!! I agree with Becky, I admire your photography skills! And your food decorating skills too! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't take heated parmesean cheese. I don't know what it is about it. I'll put it in my meatloaf/meaty balls, or on top of spaghetting (all covered with cheese, there was a poor meatball than somebody sneezed...), then again, I don't really like the smell of any heated cheese. Yes, I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteWhat's un-Jack Daniels sauce?
My FIL likes his eggs practically burnt. He calls them 'fried hard' - I call them rubber.
What else? Something about the apple dip being on your high calorie day OH! The pudding. I know you weren't out of Skinny Cows, I just saw them in your freezer yesterday (I sound like a stalker). What make you want the puddin'? Now I have Bill Cosby in my head. Thanks.
Thanks for the props guys! That means more than you know!
ReplyDeleteLinds- I call mine "firm." I enjoy it when someone in a restaurant can cook them properly (though it's loaded with butter then) but I'm just not patient enough for "low and slow" where eggs are concern. It's a goal to work on this year. Apple dip is every day but the serving differs based on available calories. The tape was done earlier in the week so the skinny cows were gone and it was puddin' time! :-) Regarding the cheese thing, yes, you're weird! LOL
Love the look of your blog!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
