Old News

Hi all! Was looking through some older pics that I hadn't posted yet, so I thought I'd share them with you!

For the Superbowl we made beer cheese soup, guacamole, and homemade pretzels. We followed a recipe from Alton Brown for the pretzels. I used my sweet stand mixer and they turned out great. They were a little bit of work, but nothing too bad! Justin helped so that made things easier. Here's a pic:

We had a nice Valentine's day at home together. We always just stay in and make dinner. Neither of us want to deal with the crazy crowds. Plus, we can make just as good a dinner at home and it's a lot cheaper! Justin also bought me some beautiful roses and delicious truffles (seriously delicious). We made, well, you can see what we made!


Here are just some random pics of Bear and his backyard buddy, Scout.
When is this silly bathroom business going to be done?

Speaking of our bathroom remodel, here is a pic of all the crap that was in our yard during the process. It's all gone now, hallelujah! Did I spell that right?

When we were in Fargo at the beginning of March, Justin stayed with some friends. Here are a few pics of Shea's dog, Ragnar, jumping for the frisbee. He's got some mad hops ;)

So it looks like cheese was the popular option on the poll! I apologize to everyone who wanted to pick onions - I forgot to put it on the list! I'm looking forward to the day I can enjoy a juicy lucy.

Stay tuned for a new post with some pics of Bear and Scout in action. They played together today for about an hour and I got some good shots.

Have a great Friday everyone and enjoy March Madness! You know I will!

Really? I spend all this time preparing this post and no one feels the need to comment on it? I see that voting on the poll wasn't hard for you to do. Maybe I'll just stop updating my blog.

I have seriously been meaning to comment, you should know that, but when I looked at it the first time I didn't have time, only enough time to vote.

So, anyways, the food you had sounds delish and the pretzels turned out well-that's awesome.

Those flowers are beautiful that Justin got you and the food-yummy! We went out to eat actually at Applebees but it wasn't that busy. We went around 7:30 though.

What's a juicy lucy? Is your bathroom done?

I knew you'd come through for me, B! A juicy lucy is a burger with cheese inside the meat, so when you bite into it, you get these hot little cheese pockets that squirt into your mouth. Never actually had one, but want one bad.

Ohhhh, the bathroom. It is pretty much done. Just some finishing touches - knobs, towel bars, etc. It's so nice though, you have to come visit and see it. Plus I really wanna take the girls to the Como Zoo, the water park, etc, etc.
