The Ravioli Maker:
You can't even tell which ones she made:
For breakfast today, we checked out a little breakfast place across town called Over Easy. Its an old school Taco Bell (you know the brick buildings with the arches) turned quaint little diner. The food was amazingly good and we'll be sure to be back to try some other dishes. I had the specialty of the house- The Over Easy. Brioche bread baked in the restaurant topped with spinach, an over easy egg and the piece de resistance...bacon sauce. In my best Homer impression, I said "Butter up that bacon, boy!" Because, basically, that's what it was- bacon gravy with butter. It was SO good but SO bad at the same time. Seriously, I need to make it back to the gym.
After filling up our stomachs, we decided to check out Star Nursery to walk off the calories and get some ideas for our backyard. Right now, we have dirt, rocks, and plastic toys in our yard. We've lived in this house for almost four years and we still haven't gotten around to landscaping the backyard. Its just bloody expensive to do. We've decided a few things- extend the patio, build a pergola, get a cottonwood, a fruit tree or two (we found some apple trees that will grow out here), some shading trees for the east side of the house, and some rose bushes. I never thought I would be into rose bushes. I like gerbera daisies, calla lillies, orchids...all of which probably wouldn't grow out in the AZ heat. And when DH suggested roses a few years ago, I wasn't happy. Roses?? No, thanks...not my fave. But then today, I realized that DH was Sean Thornton. He was excited about the plans for the roses, where to plant them, how to take care of them, which ones to get...and he was very adorable. Its moments like that I'm forever grateful that we're married.
Today, I finished up the anthropologie capelet. It's on the table as we speak being blocked. I just need to find a pin for it! WOO HOO!!
And I leave you with some pictures from the nursery...
