Wedding Bliss

Well, went to the wedding of one of my husband's best friends yesterday. It was a great day, although, it did not start that way. It did look like it was going to rain. The car ride up was fun because we had our friends, B.S. and M.S., in the car too. We get a little crazy when we're all together. Here is my favorite photo that I took at the wedding yesterday of T.D. and S.F.

Allerton Park Day Trip


I took some great photos today at Allerton Park and Retreat Center. I am only posting a couple here, but they are some of my best ones that I took today. It was a great day for walking around the park and taking photos. There was even a couple having their engagement photos done in the many gardens that Allerton has. I'll be going out again sometime soon. Be looking out for it. For now, I'll go and chill out.

Girl's Night Reflections


So, for dinner at girl's night there was red tip lettuce salad with red onion, olive oil and vinegar, kalamata olives, green olives, and artichoke hearts. Also, we put the roasted goat cheese on top of the salad. It was so delicious. Then, there was broccoli and mushroom quiche, which S.A. made for the first time, as she does not cook. R.F. made scallops with a burgundy lemon fennel sauce. Both those dishes were phenomenal!

Fruit Tart Heaven

The delicious white chocolate fruit tart I made for girl's night tonight! Looks yummy! Recipe is from my mom's 1999 Taste of Home cookbook. I did the tart with fruits that I wanted and no glaze. It was awesome! Anyway, I will post more photos later. Just leaving you with a mouth-watering moment. :)

T.G.I.F

I have got 3 more hours of work, but I'm so glad it's Friday. It's quiet in the cafe at the moment, so I am writing a quick blog. This weekend will be fun! We're having our monthly girl's night tomorrow and on Sunday I'd like to make it out to Allerton Park in Monticello to do some photography. I think the weather is supposed to cooperate. Tonight's task is to clean up the kitchen, so I can make my delicious fruit tart for our French food theme for girl's night. I will post a photo or two of girl's night and Allerton (if I go out on Sunday). I had better get back to work. Have a great weekend and don't do anything I wouldn't. ;)

Used to...

I used to have a blog on here and it had a very similar name. I forgot about it and now I have no idea where it is or how to get into it. I'm starting this new blog and we'll see how it goes. It's late and I am going to bed. Goodnight!
