Sorry, it’s been a while…
I have completely slacked, I will admit it. Its been way too long since my last entry and I am going to work my ass off to get back into the groove. So here is a story from the Valentine’s Day/Family Day weekend.
I told me sister I would watch her dogs for the weekend so that she and her husband and daughter could go to Ottawa for the weekend. So I packed up my jeep and headed up to Wasaga Beach. It was going to be a quiet weekend. Alone. On Valentine’s day…
But I digress.
So i had planned to spend the weekend baking my ass off, but instead, I got together with my Aunt Sue, Uncle Paul, 2 cousins Becky and Joey and Becky’s son, Landon. It was a GREAT time! We laughed and LAUGHED and played a gamed called Buzzwords (which is awesome btw) and we laughed some more. Then on Sunday, I stopped by again and we watched Julie & Julia (I know, I know, AGAIN).
Now, I love that movie, but there is a crazy side effect to enjoying the film. It causes hunger. Major hunger. It also incites the need to cook. So as the credits rolled, my Aunt Sue proclaimed: “I want to make scalloped potatoes”. We were all in whole hearted agreement ‘cause my Aunt Sue makes a MEAN bunch of scalloped potatoes! So heads nodded all over and then decided that meatloaf was a great idea too. So I assembled that, while my aunt did her magic.
It took over an hour of cook time, during which we DEVOURED a plate of tortilla chips and dip. Once the hour was up, we sat down to eat the food in the pictures below. There was a surprise as well! Bread with basil garlic pesto baked in the oven! SIMPLE! DELICIOUS!
Without furthur ado, The Meal.
Oh and P.S. I was rushing to finish this, so I apologize for its “not as goodness”. I was busy making homemade breaded chicken! I will do better next time. :)
