December 29, 2009

Filling A Void

I was totally pooped this afternoon and spent some fun time reading my book

IMG_0319 (640x480) (2)

I missed out while the boys went playin’

IMG_0321 (480x640)

And snacked on a Fruition bar when I got hungry at 4:30

IMG_2510 (640x427)

We had cocktail hour up in the suite with the view – it was a gorgeous sunset!

IMG_2511 (640x427)

Now that Larbs + Matt are gone and our days have charged on, we’ve gotten a bit less formal with cocktail hour.

IMG_2524 (640x427)

Wine cubes + Wheat Thins!

IMG_2523 (640x427)

IMG_2521 (640x427)

[Both of which are some of the most amazing foods 😉 ]

We thought we were out of cheese and resorted to Laughing Cows Karen brought for sandwiches. Lol. It was actually pretty good! I had about 5-6 cheese + crackers throughout the night

IMG_2522 (640x427)

And wasn’t going to partake in the good stuff tonight, but I missed Larbs + Matt and felt the need to fill a void. Total emotional eating/drinking.

IMG_2527 (427x640)

Dinner was casual but just as delicious

IMG_2533 (427x640)

Matt and I made homemade pizzas!

IMG_2536 (427x640)

IMG_2539 (640x427) IMG_2540 (640x427)

Matt made 50% whole wheat pizza crust from scratch and we topped it with spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, peppers, cheese, and pepperoni

IMG_2557 (640x427)

Instead of a green salad my dad requested something different so I planned a cole slaw with apples, balsamic, maple syrup, mustard, mayo (lite), and walnuts. I put pretty much equal parts of it all in a jar and shook and tossed it with a bag of pre-shredded cabbage and 3 apples.

IMG_2531 (640x427)

I am not a huge fan of cole slaw and thought it was pretty good

IMG_2532 (640x427)

While we cooked I debated more wine. This was one of those nights when I mindlessly had more sips and pours than I probably needed.

IMG_2542 (640x427)

IMG_2562 (640x427)

IMG_2565 (640x427)

I had 3 smallish slices

IMG_2567 (640x427)

IMG_2568 (640x427)

Dinner wine pour. Why was I also sitting right in front of the M&M bowl!?

IMG_2561 (640x427)

IMG_2566 (427x640)

IMG_2548 (640x427)

IMG_2553 (640x427)

IMG_2556 (640x427)

Dessert tonight was a delicious donut-y lemon cake sent by Matt’s grandmother Bonnie

IMG_2572 (640x427)

Plus only the best all natural

IMG_2573 (640x427)

And some choco drizzle!

IMG_2578 (640x427)

Going to read in bed – nite!

    It’s always kind of depressing when you’re on vacay with a big group, and then some of the member leave. Looks like y’all are still having fun though!

    What a great family. Our family vacations usually involve one generation watching loud cable news shows that send the other generation scurrying outside or to other rooms. LOL!

    Congrats on the awesome run. I *might* be able to race like that, but my ordinary training runs are considerably slower!

    I would like to know Matt’s recipe for the crust! I went to his page and only see the 100% whole wheat crust. Is that what you had? I’ve tried my hand at crust before and it never looks that good!

      Kelly,
      We actually had a 50/50 blend, but I don’t have the recipe for that. I’ve had the WW crust a number of times though and it’s really good. Not too dense.
