First things first! I wanted to share a few pictures of the recipes I have been making from that cookbook. What do we have here?
Chicken Salad. It was supposed to be crab salad... but that scared me... so I used canned chicken instead. Probably would've been better with the crab... if I liked crab. Hmm... I'll figure this out eventually.
Spaghetti with meat sauce. Umm... there was nothing diet about it. Love! It was just a matter of portions, which is beautiful, because it was more than enough food, and I made extra since this is one of B-man's most favorite meals.
Creamy Pasta Salad. I followed all of the directions, including every vegetable they told me to put into it, but at the end of the day... I think I will leave some of the veggies out. BUT... I am doing this with an open mind, I tried it... and I don't like it. Boo.
Next! Number Two: Brandan and I made our garden. We have not planted yet... but we bought lumber, learned how to put the back seat down, brought it home, built it, put dirt and cow poop in it... voilà! Garden!
We took turns dumping in back of top soil, potting soil, pete moss, and compost (cow poop!).
"B-man! Be careful, we paid for that dirt?!"
"Yeah? Was it cheaper than dirt?"
"No... I think it cost about the same as dirt."
We're going to plant Cucumbers, Beets, Onions, Yellow and Green Summer Squash, Carrots, Spinach and Potatoes. Actually... the potatoes are done. They're layered in the orange tub. They're Yukon Gold potatoes.
The dogs got to be outside... all day. I really think they enjoyed it, since that does not happen very often.
I'm surprised they are so active and vocal right now, I figured they would be worn out!
Item of business # 3: We went out tonight. Because we woke up pretty late, and we both had an excess of calories to spend, we decided to go out to dinner. We didn't get dessert like we tend to do. Then we went and saw "Date Night" which was REALLY funny. I was kind of worried it would be a tad bit stressful, but I found myself laughing... a lot! If you like Tina Fey, or that boss guy from the Office, then you will probably love this movie.
LASTLY! I apparently have a new job...
As Zuko's bed.
I was pretty exhausted, and B-man was doing the dishes, and I just wanted to go to bed, and apparently I was taking up too much of the couch. Serves me right I guess!

Wow, you are just smokin'!! I"m so impressed with your energy! And those meals look FABULOUS! Keep it up, you're doing great!
We planted potatoes last year, and I was surprised at just how good "fresh" potatoes taste. I mean . . we're talking about dirt nuggets, right? But soooo good. :)
That's sooo cool that you guys are going to plant all of those veges!!! I'm quite jealous. I would love to have a garden!!!
