One of our favorite shows on TV (besides Survivor) is Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel. In one episode, the host Adam goes to a restaurant in Minnesota where they have created a delicious cheesy burger called the Juicy Lucy. It's made by sandwiching some cheese between two thin burgers! On the show, Adam takes a big bite and shows the gooey cheese coming out of the middle of the burger and it looked so delicious! We thought it was a great idea and seemed easy enough to try at home. Tim started with his amazing Viking burgers (maybe now we need to call them Commodore burgers), shaped two patties, put the cheese in between and cooked them in a skillet on the stove. Check it out!
I made some really yummy apple turnovers also. They didn't turn out very pretty so Im not putting up a picture, but they tasted really good! Tim found a video on Youtube of a guy making egg mcmuffins like the ones from McDonalds and thought it would be fun to try. They were so fun and easy to make, and way cheaper than going to McDonalds! We figured that the total cost of our breakfast including coffee and fancy OJ was about $1.40. Not bad eh? Don't you just want to take a bite?! They were so good!
Many of you have heard about all the ladies at my work that are prego. There are four of them so I am being very careful not to drink the water! :) We had a baby shower at work for one of the girls and as a gift I knitted a pair of baby booties. They were a big hit at the shower! I made a second pair for another lady at work who is also having a girl. These are the booties for her, aren't the precious?! Several people thought it would be a great little money maker to knit some baby booties and sell them locally! What do you all think?
Lately we had been thinking it would be nice to have a small wine rack. We both really enjoy drinking wine and lately have been enjoying trying different varieties. It just makes so much sense! It doesn't cost any more money long-term to have several bottles in your house at any given time. It just means you have a few choices for dinner! Win Win!! We looked around and found a nice, affordable one at World Market (super awesome store!) It fits right in in our kitchen.
Lastly on the home front, my sweet hubby bought me the Mastering the Art of French Cooking volume set. I have been wanted to get it for quite a while, and even borrowed one volume from the library. He just surprised me with it one morning, no special occasion! After I went to bed he put the books in the cupboard with the rest of our cookbooks. In the morning he said it would be fun to make something different for breakfast. I went downstairs and opened the cupboard to get a cookbook and there they were! I was so excited, I was squealing and jumping around all morning! Tim, you are such a wonderful husband, I love sharing my life with you! You make every day so special!
