Weather ~ Sami's Birthday at Taprock ~ Andy & Linda ~ 2 Year Old Rocks ~ Crab Cakes & Risotto

Good 36º gloomy foggy morning! No rain predicted for here today, but got another 1/4" yesterday. We'll see..... Kristen said it's thundering and lightening and raining down there in So. Cal! Have fun driving, Californians!!! 

 

Yesterday was a breakfast for Sami's birthday at Taprock. Some blue sky showing through over Caveman Bridge...

Sami's favorite breakfast... ham, waffle with whipped cream and chocolate chips, fruit, and an 'crushed Oreo & cream cheese brownie' ! I asked Brian what they are called and he said, "Heaven" !!! They ARE GOOD!!!

Tucker also loves the waffles with whipped cream, fruit, a biscuit,  sausage, and the 'Oreo cream cheese brownie' !

I had my favorite, vegetarian omelette (fresh spinach, Swiss cheese, zucchini, cremini mushrooms, tomato, garlic, and onion topped with Hollandaise sauce) with fruit and a blueberry muffin. Also had a mimosa!

Sami was happy with her yoga mat and loved the singing Teddy. 

She named him "Bob". Bob the Birthday Bear! I also got her an iTunes gift card and a wooden "briefcase" filled with art supplies.

Coming back home the drive was beautiful.

Didn't last all that long, buy afternoon it was dark and cloudy and gloomy again and sprinkles!

National Crown Roast of Pork Day

http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/crown_roast_of_pork/

 

You certainly must be kidding, right!? National Crown Roast of Pork Day... Why you ask?

 

Well, frankly, I do not know. And, why not just Roast Pork Day? Why does it have to be a crown roast pork?

 

What we do know, is that it is National Crown Roast of Pork Day, a special day to cook and eat pork. To participate in this day it must be crown roast pork. Any other just will not do.

 

Have a great day!
