what were eating.

In a nutshell, we're kinda eating a lot of the same stuff over and over- not because we are in a funk, but because we have a good mix of recipes and they are pretty tasty.

jerk chicken

I have really gotten my hummus making skills down now, so it seems like every weekend there is some dip- either roasted red pepper variety or a cilantro version. It is so damn easy to make and it is delicious the second and third day.

We cannot keep our hands off the guacamole either. The weather is warm and the guacamole just seems to hit the spot lately....

I remade these kick ass ribs. The sauce is delish!

BBQ ribs

Hopefully this weekend we will be ready for some new recipes!

eight airports in one month

It was a busy May- more so than the normal busy. We were thrilled to have family come and visit us. Having guests is so much fun. We get to cook and entertain. and show them our favorite local spots. and glamor them with Pyrex. We truly appreciate it when our friends and loved ones make the time to come and visit.

There has also been a lot of travel for work. And although I don't mind the occasional field trip to somewhere new, lately I have been just wanting to stay home and recharge. there was the trip was to Fort  Bragg.

The last weekend of May, I hopped on yet another plane- this time to return the favor and visit an old friend before she moves even further away. Even though I don't get to see her more than a few times a year, I'm gonna miss her dearly. In addition to having some quality time with her and her adorable kids, i took away some awesome souvenirs- particularly these:
