Sunday Sunday..

PEEP MOTHER LOAD!!

I stumbled across this beautiful site in my dad’s closet–

I will neither confirm nor deny the disappearance of a box of BUNNIES!!

I love bunnies so much more than peeps–better ratio of mallow to sugary outside–Heaven. Pure heaven.

I instigated a puppy war. Penny dominated Maximus. She went for the throat.

MEET MY DAD–

He’s the only reason I know how to cook!!

We went to Monterrey’s for lunch–so good. Always so good.

#62 with shrimp hold the sour cream..

Translation–shrimp quesadilla + beans with guac!!

Some people think shrimp are scary at a mexican restaurant.. I think they are delicious.

This little piggy went to the MARKET..

Dad + I went on a trip to a local market that is open all year for a little fun.

I’d never seen these little guys.. So we brought a couple home!

I had NO idea it is NEW CROP PEANUT TIME already again!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE new crop BOILED PEANUTS!!

Today we cheated + bought the already boiled version!! HOLY YUM!!

GAH I LOVE new crop peanuts so much!! I went a little market camera happy!!

IRON CHEF dressing style..

I challenged my dad to a “dressing off”–He is the master at creating dressings + I was feeling up for a challenge.

The main ingredient real greek balsamic vinegar–So different from what most people are used to–I love it.

Mine is in the bullet + Dad’s is in the bowl–

Mine was sweet + his was savory..

I thought that I won–He thought that he won..

So I took it to dinner + let my friends decide..

It was a TIE!!

PUPPILCIOUS PHOTO SHOOT!!

I didn’t make it to the Congaree today–So I made up for it with a longboarding session with the pups!!

They LOVE the longboard!!

Dad was the photographer–

Kick off DANCE party!!

Let the FUN begin!!

I didn’t want my parent’s dogs to feel left out–

THE EXCITEMENT!!

JUST KIDDING–they were actually pretty good at the up hill!!

HARPER TIME!!

Then I headed across town to hang out with my most favorite 2 year old.. There is really NO way this babe is 2 1/2 years old.. She is SOOO tall + SOOO smart.

This drink was delivered to me outside.. A nice malbec with a cube of ice + slice of orange–

I have never had orange with my wine before but it is GREAT!! I never put it in the wine,but the nose of the orange paired with the wine is simply outstanding.  

Momma Bear (6 months in to making another baby bear!!–anyone know any good girl names??) + Papa Bear + Baby Bear!!

Also another surreal friendship–I knew these guys before they were even engaged + now they have a 2 1/2 year old + have been married for 5 years!! GAH GUF GUF!!

I still feel like I am 15 years old —I am such a KIDDULT!!

HARPER loves MAX!!

Flower delivery–Thanks HARPER!!

Another delivery!!

Little boy BROWN EYES!!

This little piggy ate PIZZA..

I took your recommendations + brought over a little of everything–which allowed us to build our own salads + pizzas..

TOPPINGS–

strawberries,mushrooms,kalamata olives,green bell peppers,pecans,cucumbers,tomatoes,red onions,fresh jalapenos,goat cheese,mozz cheese (freshly grated!).. So much fun!!

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE GREAT IDEAS!!

At the store I saw this sauce + had to try it after tasting the Buitoni Products sent for a foodbuzz tasting..

It was beyond amazing.. These products are REALLY GREAT.

I built my own salad!!

PUBLIX was SOLD OUT of their amazing pizza dough–So I had to take an alternate route.. Ciabatta Bread!!

We all designed our own creations–

Mine!! I ended up smothering them both in jalapenos after this picture–I’ve really been craving spice lately..

HARPER’S CREATION!!

Who doesn’t love a slice of red onion + one snow pea on their pizza?

ART TIME!!

After dinner + reading Harper her bedtime story it was time to assist in a little art project–

With 2 MFAs + 1 BFA in the room casting Jim’s arm just seemed like an appropriate activity..

I was a HUGE fan of the JUMPSUIT Yvette let me borrow to protect my clothes —I feel like I now need one in my life..

And so it begins..

After the plaster wrap.. Jim’s arm weighed at least an extra 8 pounds..

TA DA!! Casting was a success–I can’t wait to see the installation + get a cast of the hand —I hope they go the wax route

SWEET ENDINGS!!

We watched the video Yvette took of the casting + had vanilla frozen yogurt!!

Oh the things you say when slathering vaseline on someone’s arm..

Cheers!!
