Jayme's Birthday

I'm officially old. And so are all my friends. Last night we went (as a family) to Dave and Busters to celebrate my friends 33rd birthday. Three rum and cokes later we got rid of the kids and husbands and were off to Formaggio's in Kailua http://www.formaggio808.com/
for a glass of wine and girl time. The atmosphere at Formaggio's is excellent. It is a great place for a ladies night out or a date with the hubby. The decor is pleasant and serene. The live music adds to the relaxation and the service with a smile made our visit very enjoyable. Since we were indulging on another beverage, we decided to put something else on our stomach---the bruschetta trio (my mouth is watering just thinking about it). It was the perfect pairing with our wine and we were even treated to a free piece of cheesecake in honor of the birthday girl.It was just like old times when I dropped Jayme off and she realized she forgot the key to her house and the opener to her gate. I laughed hysterically as I watched her (several drinks down) climb over the gate to get inside. She made it...without falling, dropping, or scratching her purse. True talent. I made it home and in bed a little after 1:00 a.m. and this morning found myself exhausted. I didn't even do anything. I ate a salad, had a cupcake, and a couple of drinks. When 7:00 a.m. rolled around I felt like I hadn't slept in days. I am going to attribute it to getting older. I just can't pull the same stunts that I used to. So depressing. I better get a glass of wine.

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?

...pumpkin patch in Hawaii! Last year, Zachy was two months old when fall (and all the festivities that go with it) arrived. We had the best intentions of heading out to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin for our new little pumpkin, but c-section mania, baby carrier issues, and sleeplessness prevented pumpkin patching. Not this year! Today's fun more than made up for missing out last year. I am amazed when I think about all the things Gabe did and saw over the course of a couple of hours for only $20. And here's the list: 1. Picked out the 2012 family pumpkin 2. Ate and dripped shave ice with and on brother 3. Decorated mini pumpkin 4. Observed Jackson Chameleons lounging on the arm of volunteer workers 5. Ate a hamburger (they don't do cheese) with brother 6. Petting zoo with 600lb pig, turtles, sheep, cow, donkey, and others 7. Pumpkin cannon (best event of the outing) 8. Large sweet tea in take home mason jar (moms treat of the day) 9. Real Trac...

August Goal: 30 Days of New Recipes

Image
Month eight is complete!  August was a month of learning about new ingredients, trying new recipes, making a few mistakes in the kitchen, and filling our hearts and bellies with happiness and deliciousness.  I’m so glad I made the eighth month of my twelve month long challenge/journey, a culinary challenge.  Last month, in July, my challenge was to document delight…I documented it everyday for thirty days and then neglected to document my DELIGHT journey on the Blog.  It could still happen…   August is my youngest sons birth month.  He loves to cook and bake and cause general chaos in the kitchen so it seemed appropriate that I make August the month of new recipes.  Also, I love books…to include cookbooks…which I seem to have a pretty nice collection of.  Anyway, I have all these cookbooks and many of them hadn’t even been cracked open or recipes attempted…until now.  Most all the cookbooks turned out to be winners (with only a couple of non-...
