Weekend(s) Update

Two weekends ago, tom and katie took us in their plane to Half Moon Bay for lunch. How posh, right??

Last weekend, Dave and I went to Pismo Beach to experience Splash!'s clam chowder. It was pretty good.

 Boo-san came along with us. He enjoyed walking on the boardwalk, by the ocean, and the car ride.

What's for Dinner?

I feel like we must eat pizza a lot since a lot of my What's for Dinner posts include pictures of pizzas... What makes this pizza different is its almost 100% organic ingredients. I made the tomato sauce from the tomatoes from our garden (Big Beef variety), the basil is from the garden, and the cherry tomatoes (Sunkiss Sweet variety) are also organically grown by Amy and I. The dough was homemade - Wrigley "Secret" Pizza Pi Recipe - and the cheese I bought.

Another organic item was homemade french fries made with potatoes from our garden. We used canola oil. They turned out to be basically exactly the same as In-and-Out fries. We refroze some fried ones and will attempt to refry them to make crispier fast-food style fries.

 And once you've got the oil hot, what ELSE can you fry? We tried left over pizza dough. Basically came out like garlic knots. We sprinkled them with powdered sugar to make them dessert-like. If we fried dough again, we would try a different recipe because let's face it - pizza dough with powdered sugar isn't the best. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't wholly satisfying either.

Any suggestions for what to fry next??

Nursery Preview

Here's what we've got going for us. Nice wall art, to be framed sometime soon, warm honey crib, perfectly corresponding chevron pillow.

A nice little bookshelf, filled with Noah's library. There will be a glider under the windows, with dark blue curtains. 

Westin Lee and I. My friend had her baby yesterday, so here's me and an 18 hour old baby. I even swaddled him and he stopped crying! It was amazing. 

House Photos

Can't remember if I posted some home photos or not, but if i did, here are some added ones too...

kitchen - no changes, except we have new appliances now. 

painting the guest room.... lime green to khaki. 

finished guest room - see the tape around the window ledge? The room was the exact same color as the Frog Tape. 

Nursery room. No more black and orange stripes...

enlisting the help of some friends to paint the hallway. And we painted our initials. :)

It's a very long hallway. 

New washer and dryer! Same brand, different models = cheaper price.
They sing to me when they are done with the cycle. 

Floor project! Begone stained carpet! Welcome Pergo!

New rug. Dave says, "Why'd we put in new floors if we are just going to cover it with a rug?" Because this rug is cool! And adventurous... White rug? Pets? Kids? Life? We'll see how long it lasts. 

The Gallery. aka the hallway with our Academy prints.
