Crabmeat canneloni, this week: that was good. And I roasted a game hen. And last night it was steak, but I made a compound butter for it with cheese and garlic and chives from the herb patch. Tonight I was tired and took the leftover crabmeat and made crab melts. Pretty good, too, but it was suggested that parmesan mixed in would be good.
Went to Taste of Edmonds today. Came home exhausted and then Bunny called and they took Ribkicker with them to the Seattle Aquarium (fish! More fish! Fish star!)and DH invited them to stop by for dinner, so I wound up cleaning the house at 90 mph and then setting up for dinner. Lucky I did the cleaning because they had a friend with them.
Bought a toy for Ribkicker at the Taste: it's a combination squirt gun/bubble maker with flashing colored lights and when Ribkicker got it, he was FASCINATED. Wow! he said appreciatively, and then the white heat of his enthusiasm got ahead of him and he added, "whoa!" If any of you have quite young kids in your family, I can recommend any toy that shoots bubbles in combination with flashing lights.
Taste of Edmonds wasn't nearly as nice as I've seen it before, but it's been a few years since we went. They did have some fun things and I bought some 25 year old balsamic vinegar. And we got the toy, too. Not a total loss.
Ribkicker really started 2 and 3 word sentences now! :::happydance::: And it was fun to see the friend; he is married to Bunny's college roommate and is staying a few days with them while his wife is visiting her parents with their baby.
At least the house got clean, and I can collapse until Monday morning now.
