Lately...

I have become a Sonic Burger and Nicholas Sparks junkie. Who would have thought?

So far I've...

Read: Dear John, The Last Song

Eaten: 2 burgers, 2 small fries, 1 chicken salad, 1 strawberry slushy and 2 ice waters (yes they count)

But hey...I'm in the middle of moving. I deserve these things.

Next week it's all healthy food and back to Charles Dickens. ;)

Late Night Adventure and a Dinner

Blizzards and keychains....

And a cake to "remember me" by. ;) Spaghetti and stuff...

Love you Becks. ;) Let's have more adventures soon okay?

Valentines Day

Valentines weekend was pretty busy as we had a big Valentines Tea Party for almost 30 ladies in the afternoon and a couples tea for 6 couples that evening. It was fun but I'm really full and tired.
Oh and...daddy gave us these for Valentines Day:

Oh my stinkin goodness...and he even dug through to find the boxes with Edward on them. (he knows us well...)

It's hard to eat them...I just like reading them. And some of them even *sparkle*. haha Am I cheesy or what?

Hope you all had a sweet Valentines Day!

Salad for lunch tomorrow...

< 3

These two...
+ Cajun tater tots + this girl = a night I have been waiting for, for a long time.

Puckerooms

I knew Willy Wonka and I were kindred spirits. Sour gummy candy in the shape of mushrooms.
Oh the bliss....

A Grand Day In...

Consists of:

-tea with cream and sugar

-cheese and crackers

-wallace and grommit marathon

-beckah

I can cook with...

Some yummy herbs from the garden...

A lil input from mum...

And some help from Jamie Oliver...

And a tiny bit of experience...

Yummy.:)

If you like eating yummy food you should check out Jamie Oliver's new cookbook, At Home with Jamie. Good stuff! He also offers lots of gardening tips. Really cool book. :)

Beckah's Birthday :)

Last week we finally celebrated my friend Beckah's birthday...(her birthday was in April) and had a Wallace and Gromit marathon. Wahoo! They're the best. :)


We also had a crazy hailstorm and me being even crazier than the weather...I had to go out in it and get a bowl full of hail to eat...which might be bad for you but I love it too much to care. ;)

And of course you can't watch Wallace and Gromit with out tea with milk. Or cream...as we Americans use.
Most important is the CHEESE. :) "We've forgotten the crackers Gromit!"

And then of course...birthday brownies with ice cream and a big 'ol candle. :)

Mum's are the Best :)

This morning I wasn't feeling well, so mom brought me a tray of breakfast in bed. Awww....isn't she the swetest?
Bright cheery flowers...I think they worked their magic because I'm feeling better now. :)

Yummy toast and jam and apple scone cake. Marie Antoinette treatment, that. ;)

And only the best, Twinings peppermint tea. I love this jolly little tea pot. It used to belong to my grandma.

Even the cutlery was special.

Do you like my tea cup? I bought it at World Market the other day for just under $3. I used up the rest of my gift card my brother gave me for Christmas and got some tea and a mug as well.

Well, I feel quite spoiled now...perhaps I wont ever do anything but lounge around from now on. ;)

Peppermint in the Snow

It's been snowing here for over a week and it's so lovely. The other day I finally tromped out into the cold to take some pictures...I accidently deleted the good one...so there all you get to see is my wellies. That's another thing I'm loving about the snow. I've worn my wellies twice! But I mostly just stay inside because it's too cold. My favorite thing lately is Twinings peppermint tea...I got addicted to this stuff when I was in England. Mmm...it's wonderful.

You know what else is wonderful? Peppermint marshmallows. Mmmmhmm. My friends got some one day and yeah...we love them. Put them in your hot chocolate and...it's divine.
And I just think they're pretty. :)

So, pour yourself a cup of tea or hot chocolate, maybe read The Little White Horse (my new favorite), and enjoy the holiday season. I hope you have snow too!

The Weekend

I spent the weekend with Becks, housesitting for some friends of ours...it was really fun. :)

We watched Planet Earth every night...which is AMAZING...but can be scary when one leaves me to drift off to dream land and I'm left alone watching sharks and other creepy sea creatures alone. Somehow it's scary when your alone.
Saturday Beckah made and amazing breakfast:

Mmmm...pancakes and bacon and cream of wheat and orange juice.
And Maple Syrup!
We enjoyed Jenny's piano. :)
After breakfast, a walk, hot tub, and a shower Beckah made lunch:

Isn't she awesome?


And I made chocolate chip cookies!

Then we watched more movies, Fool's Gold...Phantom of the Opera (which makes me weep)

Sunday my family came over and we watched Wives and Daughters.

Aimee trying to sneak up on us:

Then while out feeding the cows we decided to have a photo shoot:

And that was my weekend. It was wonderful. :)

Movie Night & Toadstool Cupcakes

I have quite a bit of catching up to do as I have loads of pictures to share from the whole weekend. But I'll start with Thursday night our weekly movie night with the Delery's.
We watched Iron Man and I made cupcakes...


I had to take pictures so you would believe me, since I don't normally voluntarily cook or bake anything.
