Sami's 7th Birthday Party ~ Harley ~ Miss Bonnie & Laurie ~ Quinoa Bacon & Vegetables

Good 57º afternoon.

When I got up this morning it was 24º! Burrrrrrr......

Yesterday was a very special party for a very special little girl. My granddaughter Sami will be 7 on March 2nd, but her party for her and friends was yesterday at the Tap Rock. Pajama Party! Then this morning we met again at Tap Rock for Sunday Brunch. Sami's request! Enjoy the Smilebox.....

Today would have been the day we celebrated Harley Davidson's birthday. He showed up at our house in 1991, just after Jerry got his Fat Boy Harley. Jerry named the cat! He died 2-15-13... just two weeks prior to his 22nd birthday!

Harley you are missed every single day. RIP buddy. I love and miss you! ♥♥

My friend Miss Bonnie Seibert (her ex Jim Klinger worked with Jerry at the BC Range) and her daughter Laurie are in India on a fun travel trip. Here they are in front of the Taj Majal and then on a safari to find tigers....

This close proximity to so much unrest would make me nervous!

Dinner was rice cooker time... I had mini squashes in the fridge that needed to be cooked ... So, I put 1/2 a cup of Quinoa in the rice cooker, 1 cup water, 1 can artichoke heart quarters with liquid, 1 can sliced mushrooms with liquid, and a handful of the bacon crumbles. Then I sauteéd the squash and the Brussels sprouts I didn't use with the spaghetti dish, in a bit of olive oil. In the rice cooker they went too....

Cooked until the cooker stopped and dumped in large bowl...

Added in some cheeses and mixed well...

OMGOOOOOD!!!!
