MMMM!


( this is a NEW kind of bruchetta we tried and it was so yummy, the one listed below is our basic recipe)

I am completely obsessed with bruchetta! Spencer and I buy basil, tomatoes, and a French baguette every week. I don't where this sudden obsession came from but it is so delicious and easy!!!! just slice the bread and rub it with a garlic clove for flavor, Then brush the bread with olive oil. stick it in the oven for about3-5 min on broil ( it will be quick so keep an eye on it). Then slice Roma tomatoes and use fresh basil( amazing) and drizzle with evoo and salt. then your ready to eat! yummy. We really do make this every week. It taste so fresh and yummy, not to mention very good or you.

enjoy! I know I do.

p.s we have been just buying a fresh bunch of basil every week for $1 at the local farmers market.

CaMpInG

Yes we did, we went CAMPING. It was fun and a new kind of adventure Spencer and I have never been on together. We went to Los Osos which is near SLO and Pismo.



 Now I'm not sure WHERE this CRAZY idea about camping came from, but it was my thought that going to the beach would be fun, and camping there would be cheaper then staying in a hotel ( all true so far). It was just way different then the camping I remember. I have only camped in the mountains where there are lots of trees...let me tell you...barely any TREES.






We pitched our tent and headed back to Pismo beach to relax and enjoy the view! We had clam chowder at Splash Cafe
                      (delicious) and then walked along the pier.








We decided to eat a huge dinner at Tahoe Joe's before camping. Yummy. We went back to camp and were TOO full to eat smores. 


I made a fire that lasted a whole 2 min. and we went inside for the night. 


We played Statego and then went to BED, but with no pillows because we left them at home...figures.


I got like no SLEEP because Spencer was snoring all night ( poor baby, he was sick with a cold). 


In  the morning, I was cranky, but ended up sleeping from 7-10! much needed rest.


We headed into Pismo for some yummy Cinnamon rolls and then went geo caching. { If you'r not familiar with geo caching it is like treasure hunting. You go online and they give you map coordinates and you find stuff all over the world. It's pretty cool}



The cach was hidden inside this post!





We found a candy shop called Hot Licks where they sell chocolate covered bugs like worms, crickets, and small scorpions! eww.


The apple on the left if covered in wormes!!!


The trip was fun and much needed, but I think i'm more of a hotel kind of girl.. sorry Dad.

Obsessed!



I am totally obsessed with the original CSI show. Spencer and I have been watching then on DVD and today we blew through 3 episodes because I just had to see more. The thing about CSI is you have never seen it is that is really graphic and very gross! The show is mostly about murders or suicides and they like to show how someone was killed. They slice into skulls, show decaying bodies, ect. Of course all of this stuff is fake but  very bloody and gross. But, I am hooked! I love the characters and the mystery of each case. It is never the person you think it will be. Some of the episodes are scary too. One i watched today was about a murder in a psych ward. We have just finished season 5 and will prob start 6 tonight or tomorrow! I can;t wait. I love CSI. If blood and graphic scenes do NOT bother you, then watch CSI it is soo good. Although I think since I have been watching it so much I am becoming numb...maybe not a good thing, but I love CSI!

Some time off

Well summer school has ended and I get a few weeks off. We don't shave any major plans, but next week we are going camping on the coast. I am excited to go to the coast and to go camping for our first time together! This is sure to be an adventure. It will also be nice to get away form this heat.

We have been having friends over every week for dinner and It has been a lot of fun.We stress about it sometimes, but we always have a great time.

With all of my time off I am finding it hard to be motivated to DO anything ( which is a bad thing).

hmm what else is new....
We go to the farmers market every week and buy lots of fruits and veggies. I think right now we have grapes, mangos, champaign grapes, watermelon, plums, blueberries, and i think that may be it. We have a lot of yummy fruit to eat which is really nice and healthy.

On Sunday we had the sister missionaries over and we made this yummy asparagus pasta with a white sauce! It was good. Then on Monday we had friends over and made Cafe Rio ( Thank you Kate). Which turned out so yummo!

This means tons of left overs! Yaaaaa
