Chicken Paprikash

One of my favorite recipes from my Mom is Chicken Paprikash.  So good.

September Austin Visit

This past weekend we went to Austin.  This will probably be our last visit before we're going to visit the Bechle boy!  I can't believe it!  It was really a great visit.  They have done a nice job with their new apartment, and the nursery is looking good!

We enjoyed some appetizers, and the husbands enjoyed some drinks at the Oasis on Lake Travis.

We had dinner at a nice French restaurant, Justine's.  Loved it!  We had to wait a bit to be seated.  Jared and Nate were pretty serious.

And here is a view from the top of my belly.

Sushi

It's sushi time! This is a place recommended by one of Jared's classmates.

Memphis: Roji and Kim's Wedding

The weekend before last Jared and I drove to Memphis for Roji and Kim's wedding. The drive wasn't bad, and the wedding was great! We loved catching up with all of our old Cargill friends, and it was fun to see another happily married Cargill couple.

Here we are, driving along and being goofy.  I drove the first half, and Jared drove the second.  We did that both ways.

I attempted to take a pic of the bridge when we came in.  The was the best I managed from the car.

The first thing I ate there was my ever loving smoked bologna sandwich.  I love it so much.  Jared got the ribs, mac and cheese, and potato salad.  This was at Central BBQ.

We stayed with our friend Alex and his big and beautiful Bubba.  I can't get enough of that dog.

We were late to the wedding so had to sit way in the back.  Here is Roji waiting for Kim.

The aisle was quite long, here is Kim walking down.

And here they are, getting married!

And here are the newly weds!  We threw corn at them, how perfect is that.  I wonder if they took it from work...

And here are two happy couples at the reception.  A good time was had by all!

The Twin's Golden Birthday

The twins turned 27 on the 27th! Sadly, Vetty wasn't with us, but we had a great time celebrating with Domi.

We surprised Domi with a French restaurant, Max and Julie's. This was recommended by Dan and Doreen. Oh man was it good. Before the restaurant we stopped at Dan and Doreen's for some French champagne (the only kind?) and French cheese roll things (I don't remember what they're called) that Doreen made. Again, so good! I need to get that recipe.





Here are a few of the dishes. Jared got the onion soup and beef tips, Domi got the veal, I got chicken and Nate got a beef stew. Pictures of my and Nate's meals didn't turn out.




After the restaurant we went to Anvil Bar. The beer and drinks were great! I was the DD, so I had a small taste of everyone elses drinks.


Domi once ate an entire pineapple in one sitting, and we still pick on her for it. Here she is trying to eat what looks like a giant pineapple.


And here we are on the way home. A good time was had by all.



Relaxing after a night of fun.

Thanksgiving 2009

Domi and Nate came down from Austin for the weekend. We went to Thanksgiving dinner at our Aunt Karla's house. We brought deviled eggs (with Nate's homemade mayo), potato rolls, and a salad. #fb

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving Day. (All of the Thanksgiving pics are Domi's, my camera was dead.)

Nate's mayo.

Nate and Jared mixing up the eggs. We did one southwest ranch, and one dill mustard. The dill mustard one was so good! I big hit.


The eggs.


I made the dough for the potato rolls in the bread maker, and baked them in the oven. This is the best recipe ever, thanks Mom!



Domi made the salad and salad dressing. So good.


Here is the delicous turkey Uncle Phil made.


Full plates, and full husbands.

And the Packers won the game!
