Farmers Markets

I love our local farmers market.  It gives me a good reason to wake up a little early on a Saturday morning. These flowers were only $3.50!  What a deal!  Now they are sitting in my office. They brighten my day in the morning when I come into the office. 

Crabfest 2010!

George and I went to Crabfest 2010 at our friends Adam and Diana's House.  Diana is a friend from college and we were both recently in each others weddings.  

This was the invite for Crabfest on facebook: 

Crabfest 2010

"Giving crabs to even more friends than ever before!"

Whether you're new to the annual Crabfest celebration or a returning veteran ready to dig in you should be aware that this year is the biggest Crabfest yet!

WHAT IS CRABFEST?

Just like it sounds, Crabfest is a party for friends and family; a time to get together, meet, mingle, and enjoy delicious steamed crabs, grilled goodies, cold beverages for all ages, and even more fresh fried foods.

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS YEAR?

- Fresh, steamed crabs (served mid-afternoon for picking)
- Fresh french fries and wings (through to the evening)
- Cold beers, Mike's variety packs, mixers with an open bar, and water (for the tame)
- Stybs' "Famous" Chili Cheese Dip
- A selection of sides and sweets

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Yourself for starters! Those of you who know to bring something already know what it is. If you want to bring something just ask (so nothing's duplicated)! If you're in doubt just kick a few bucks to the crab bucket so we can give the gift of crabs again!

I'D LIKE TO CRASH OVERNIGHT. IS THAT COOL?

Absolutely - please plan to stay overnight if you're up for having fun after the sun goes down. There is limited bed/couch space so if you have a sleeping bag or air mattress it may be helpful to bring it along (at least for those who don't have something if you get a room). No one should drive away and put themselves and others at risk!

ANYTHING ELSE?

Hope to see you here!

Let Them Eat Cake!

Well, as tradition as told us, we ate our year old wedding cake.  I decided to eat it still frozen since the only preservation in the freezer was the box.  Yes, no plastic wrap, no vacuum seal.  So we both tasted a piece and were happy with that. 

For those of you who forgot, this is what our wedding cake looked.

It is that time of year! 

 

 

Tea Time!

I like to take a little work break in the morning and have some tea. My favorite is just plan jane earl grey. I have tried a lot of different tea but black is my favorite. Sometimes I drink green tea because it hear that it is good for you.

For Christmas I got A LOT of tea from George's family.  I think my personal stash is stocked up for a long time now!  I think my tea obsession started when I studied abroad in England with my friend Laurie.  We drank tea with every meal.  Now when we travel together I think we do the same!  What is your favorite type of tea? 

Tomato Plants

Living in an apartment makes it hard to have a garden.  On our back step I added two tomato plants.  I planted them around May 3rd. 

Here is a close up shot of one of the plants.  One is cherry tomatoes and one is Roma, I think.  I forget what I planted.  I think one of the plants produces orange or yellow fruit. You can see our "we have a dog sign" on our back door. Also, the rock I found that I painted an R on. 

This morning I saw that this is a couple small tomatoes starting.  My Mom used similar plants in a topsy turvy.  So far they are both about the same size. In the last couple weeks these plants have needed little water because of all the rain we have been getting. 

Long John Silver's

George was sick this week. We got to go to Long John Silver's. That made him happy :).
