Bryan is having fun in Thailand for his cousins wedding and I am here, in Olathe, bored. Especially since I haven't been able to talk to him since Friday morning, even when he was in Iraq I talked to him more than I'll be able to while he is in Thailand. To keep myself occupied I have been cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning! There is so much junk in this house, no wonder we have no room for anything. I have also been trying out new recipes. Yesterday I tried out a recipe from
The Brown Eyed Baker to take over to Lance and Stacey's for their Independence Day BBQ. Cucumber-Tomato Bruschetta, It was good, I used basil instead of parsley because I like basil better and used 1/3 less fat cream cheese, but other than those changes I followed the recipe. The picture of the appetizer is below, and amazingly mine looked just the same.
After my intervention marathon today, I tried out the
Salmon Burger recipe from Cooking Light. And, it was another success. I'm trying to find new recipes to make when Bryan comes back with his mom and brother in August.

On another note, I have made the deposit for our room and wedding package at the Caribbean Villas Resort. Pretty much now everything has been taken care of, well almost everything :) I still need to find a dress, that means I should start looking...but I have 10 months so I have time, right? I'm always on the lookout for bridesmaids dresses, just have not found the right ones yet. I am also trying to decide if I should have a wedding cake or not, any thoughts?
You know I am all about cake, however, if it seems to be more of a hassle, just wait for your reception when you get back. He he he. Did you see what I did there? Just slipped that in. I promise, if you are willing, we could have a really awesome reception in your backyard with Christmas lights, a keg (duh!), and snacks. OH, and LOTS OF PRESENTS! :)
ReplyDeleteI am still not sold on the reception afterwards...But, with Bryan's moms landscaping maybe our yard will be reception worthy by next spring ;)
ReplyDeleteEmily I think thats a great idea!!!! Just think of all the presents!!!
