I haven't been blogging lately. It's been a busy few weeks and it's not going to slow down for a few more. Luckily, most of the business will be very fun as well as being busy. This weekend Hannah and Gary came down from Chicago to play in the pool. We ate lots of yummy food too! The first night we had marinated squash, marinated kebabs, and grilled peaches and apricots with sweet cream ice cream. The grilled apricots were actually really really good. They kept their firmness but were warmed through. After taking them off the grill I sprinkled brown sugar over them and let them sit for a few minutes so the sugar got a little caramelized and a little syrupy so it was good to mix with the ice cream.
On Friday we had Jack Stack BBQ for lunch. Then for dinner we had burgers with sauteed onions and garlic in them. We also added one egg and a few dried breadcrumbs, worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne. I had hot dogs instead but V said they were really really good. I made tzatziki sauce for snack on throughout the weekend and it was a big hit. It's nice to have around because I used light yogurt and sour cream so it's a healthier alternative to premade dips but its still really satisfying.
Saturday we had steaks, I had an Italian sausage, grilled asparagus, and heirloom tomatoes and basil from the farmer's market. Ooh, so much yummy food!
Sunday I forgot to plan a meal and most of the restaurants were closed. Holiday on a Sunday is a bad combo for eating out. So, we got some D'Bronx pizza which was tasty as always. V got me a chocolate cake and mint chocolate chip ice cream for my birthday so it was pretty much a perfect day! It was great having Hannah and Gary over and now it's time to relax before our next guests. The pool is definitely a party pool.
