April Showers

Today was definitely one of those days that I wish I could spend in bed, eating ice-cream and watching trash television. After traffic last night, I was not thrilled to sit in traffic yet again this morning. A storm is looming and I know that the commute home is going to be a chaotic disarray of idiots who spaz as soon as a drop of rain hits the asphalt on the beloved interstate that we call, I95. Can you sense the sarcasm? :-) I know what you are thinking...."shouldn’t of moved down to Stafford...." yeah yeah yeah....

On a happier note, the weather has started to warm up. Yesterday I believe the high was a record-breaking 83 degrees. It made sitting in traffic a little more pleasant, windows and sunroof were open/down and I was listening to your playlist! I got home and went to the gym while Kelly took my grocery list to the store and got all our stuff for the week. I hate going to the grocery store, so I suckered him into it so that I could go to the gym and get a run in. He is too good to me! We got home around the same time and started cooking dinner. It was off the hook, Kel and I need to start our own cooking show, we are cute in the kitchen and we make an awesome team! I think you left me your kitchen talent because lately I have been like Emerald in the kitchen, no joke! Last night this is what we made together;

BBQ Chicken

Chopped Salad

Grilled Feta Green Beans

Ok, so it doesn’t look like much, but it was FAB-U-LOUS! I made the BBQ sauce using some recipe I fabricated on the fly. Ingredients include;

- Siracha for a little bit of spice

- Little bit of BBQ sauce we had from the fridge

- Emerald's "kick-it-up horseradish mustard"

- Dash of sugar to pacify the spiciness

I then used this ingenious device Craig got Kel and I for Christmas to make the Feta Green Beans while Kelly went out and grilled the BBQ chicken. I think it is called a Cuisine Art Panini Press/Grill. We have made some pretty appetizing concoctions with this thing!  We had some wine, watched Jeopardy and stuffed our face! Overall a pretty good dinner, def. will be making it again....thanks for the help ;-)

Well Dad, I have to get back to work, just wanted to say what's up! Talk to ya soon, love and miss you!
