Food Photo Friday

Natural peanut butter that was impossible to stir in the jar.

Popcorn popped in coconut oil for movie night.

Baked yam fries are our new favorite dish!

Finally done!

Strawberry season official ended for me last week.  My hands are almost back to their normal color.  We shall not cry though, because we are prepared.  Picked over a 100 quarts of berries, made 5 gallons of syrup, froze 15 gallons, made 13 pints of jam, and some fruit leather.  Mmmm strawberries.  Honestly, I am so sick of them.  If I can get myself to eat one, I really enjoy it, but I sure don't like looking at them anymore.

There is but a short rest.  In just a few short weeks, blueberries will be available!  I think I may wear gloves for that one....

IT'S MARQUIE!!!

The kids screamed, "Yeah, Marquie!"

California Dreaming

Or perhaps just an opportunity to have dinner at a great restaurant with wonderful people.  Justin, Jodi and family were in the greater Los Angeles area for a wedding and work.  I came into LA for meetings tomorrow and we were able to get together for dinner at Pancho's Mexican Restaurant in Manhattan Beach. 

After dinner we walked down to the beach and walked along the beach while Vida ran circles around us all and both girls were excited with all the "puppies" they saw.

Thank you for taking the time to brighten my travels.

Photo Weekend

Hyrum was bored with climbing on the stairs, so furniture it will be.  My kids have always have been and continue to be climbers!  At least he got up and down all by himself.

Easter Eve Dinner

We joined some friends in their home tonight for an Easter Eve Dinner...crawfish boil!  First time I've ever had crawfish and they are some mean lookin creatures!  It was so much fun!  The food and the company.  Tim said this is what they always had on Easter where he grew up, I think in Lousiana!
