Well... coming back to reality in Chehalis has been less than wonderful albeit exciting as usual. The one constant that keeps me (Marie) from going overboard is Connor's cooking. It used to be that I was the main cook... with highlights from Connor occasionally featured on our weekly menu. But, he has been the head chef ever since last week. He got a sweet new cookbook (
Cooking with Beer) from Leigh Ann for Christmas, so he is feeling inspired. Here are some of our delicious and nutritious (we have a wedding to get ready for in April!) choices for the new year.
 |
| Wasabi salmon with roasted cauliflower. |
 |
| Shrimp and Cod Curry |
 |
| Tostados. |
 |
| Tostados for bfast (just add eggs!) |
 |
| Paella |
 |
| Falafel and a delicious carrot-cumin spread. |
 |
| Farro salad with chicken. |
We have also been trying to go for walks when the weather cooperates...and we love tossing the football while we walk! Connor also FINALLY tossed Jackie the Pumpkin down the hill (pumpkin bowling!) towards the lone pin (the Big Zucchini). It was hilarious.
On another note... thanks to Mark-bear... we are addicted to lattes. I bought Connor an espresso pot as a new year's gift...but still need to find a good frother. I want one like Mark's.
That's the good side of the story from our new year. Seems like we have already had more than our fair share of bad...but we will turn that to God and keep saying our prayers for brother Max, sister Leigh Ann, and kitteh Eno.
We love all of you!
YUM! Oh the perks of being married to a professional chef... So glad you have these bright spots and each other to help keep yer chins up. Things will get better.
