Date Night!

We are on our way out to dinner, just thought I would document our date outfits. We both have on jeans  from the same company and plaid button up shirts.  When I saw that Bob had on the same outfit I tried to change, but he wouldn't let me, haha. Gotta love marriage- you become a little bit more like the other person every day! Hope I don't start growing a beard...

Well, so much for that

After having some issues with the high fruit diet, I think this marks the day we officially fell off the wagon.  The new pizza roll flavors clinched it for Bob, I think.

I would say something about moderation, but he bought six eight bags. 

Talk soon,

I did it!

Sorry for the pauses, I didn't think of what to say before I started filming.  I didn't mention everything just to keep it from being an hour long. Hope it was nice for our faraway family to see our new place!

Love,

Need a rain check

I've had a bad head ache since last night so I won't be doing a video today, but I have the day off on Sunday and Monday so one of those days I will post it up.  Here are some pictures if our dinner a few night ago to make up for it. It was my first attempt at potatoes fondant, and we had some sweet BBQ chicken meatballs with it and a simple salad. Then I made a sort of strawberry tart thing, using some almonds and cookies for the crust, sliced strawberries In the middle, and a topping of "whipped cream", which is actually whipped coconut cream with sugar and vanilla. After a few fails with the coconut, I found out I have to almost freeze the can of coconut milk to get the fatty cream to separate and thicken enough to use. It isn't as stable as traditional whipped cream and needs to be eaten cold, but it tastes fine and helps with dessert cravings. Unfortunately, my photography skills are still less than stellar. My Dad teaches photography in high school, but nothing has rubbed off on me as of yet.  Oh well.  

Have a good night!

It's a baby!

Look what we found at the market today while perusing the "exotic" fruit section.  It's so cute I started squealing and made Bob take a picture.  Ignore how I look, we had just finished at the gym and I was in need of a long shower and a hair brush.  Dramatic pause for effect...

                 Tadah!

It's a baby pineapple! If they had been less expensive ($6 a piece) we would have bought one (or a hundred), but that isn't in our budget at the moment.  So I sadly left them behind for another day.  We did get a lot of other fruits that I am excited to dig into. Our casaba is so ready to go it is sticky on the outside! We are still on our new diet, trying to eat as little dairy as possible and limit junk foods.  We had a relapse this weekend during a visit with friends, it's hard to kill old habits and so much celebration food is either full of cheese or cream or butter.  Plus Bob has an almost Pavlovian craving for frozen yogurt whenever we see this friend, it's pretty cute. But now that we are home we are back on the horse and feeling better for it.  

     I finally have the apartment almost the way we want it, so hopefully after a little tidying on Friday I will be able to put up a post to show how it looks.  I'd like to post a video but we will see if that's possible or not, I haven't tried before.  Hope everyone is having a good week!

Love, 

Emi
