my new addiction

The Blues
My mom was looking at our pictures from our honeymoon, and I got a email from her asking “what was that on your plate?”. This was our dessert for dinner at the Glitretind Restaurant in Deer Valley UT our last night of our honeymoon. It was called “The Blues” and was a blueberry dessert. Susan’s favorite part was the “blueberry paper” (it’s the purple square in the picture). She loved the way that it melted in her mouth as soon as it hit your tongue. My favorite (which the name is escaping both of us right now) had almost a jam like consistency but with a more dessert-like flavor. Mixing it with the caramel ice cream was great.
The most impressive part of the dinner was that Susan tried my Foie Gras Mousseline and loved it. She even ate more after I told her that it was goose liver. For those of you that know Susan you know that is a HUGE deal because she never tries anything new and would never admitting to liking something like that.
“free time”
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Lots of people are questioning what we will do with all of our FREE TIME now that the wedding is over. First of all, our sisters and Lauren planned everything so it really was not that time consuming. Second, there are thank you notes to write. Plus all those things that got put off during “wedding planning” (i.e. doing errands Biz, Elli and Lauren told us to do).
Seriously–where does time go? I think THAT is what we should spend $700 billion on–the time management bailout. Its like frickin’ quick sand. I am trying to learn that the harder you fight against quick sand (losing time) the quicker you sink (Murphy’s law takes over). But alas, I cannot help setting goals. And of course dragging Paul along with me. Here is what we are working on now:
- Replacing our flooring. We plan to install laminate floors before the end of the year. We have saved money from combining our homes–every time we sold furniture, bedding, pots, pans, etc. that we had extra, we put it into savings. We will be getting the estimate from Graham soon, but we think we have enough saved.
- Myrtle Beach Marathon and Metric Century Ride. Sat, Feb 14 we will run a marathon (Paul’s first), then Sun, Feb 15 we will ride a metric century bike ride (63 miles). Yes this is our idea of a romantic Valentine’s weekend. Last year I cried on ski slopes and tore skin off my ear, this year I will whine for 26.2 miles. Paul is such a wonderful guy, huh?
- Paint the bathroom. Carolina blue of course.
- Set up our family website. CHECK!
