OK, so I can’t believe it’s taking me this long to blog about this trip!
Anyway, moving on.
Let me give you preface so you understand our crazy dinner situation. Saturday morning, we tried to make dinner reservations for this Japanese place. Andi called and they said the only times they had available were 5:30 or 11 [...]

So, OK. I’m back and ready to post more pics about my awesome weekend. Today was rough because I had to return to the Real World. Blah.
Anyway, Friday night, we got dolled up in our rooms.

And we headed out to a restaurant that was off the lobby of The Water Club. It was called the [...]

So, Neal and his friends have this trip they take every year. It’s the fourth weekend of the fourth month and about 10 of them exchange beer steins and act like boys. It started when they were in college. Last year, they went to Pittsburgh. This year, they rented a 3-story cabin in the Poconos.
Well, [...]

So, during the wedding ceremony this weekend, the pastor asked all the married couples to take a moment and reflect upon their wedding days. The church fell silent, and you could see shy smiles, hands reaching for loved ones’ hands and whispered memories.
It was a really sweet moment. I thought back to that day,  truly [...]

So, the weather was beautiful Saturday, right? Finally! Apparently it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, and Monday was crappy, too. Ugh. But the forecast is also calling for a beautiful weekend! YAY!
So, Neal and I had wedding 1 out of 5 in 2009 Saturday. The bride is Neal’s cousin. The ceremony was held in [...]

So, there are several reasons why I remembered today that I love Spring.
We live near a large commercial bakery, and they make a lot of desserts. Today, I got out of my car in my driveway and breathed in the sweet, sweet smell of brownies. The warm weather really carries the smell of the baking [...]

So, Neal and I added a bird feeder near our deck (bringing our total bird feeders to two) and we also added a suet cake cage on a tree in our backyard.
And if you build it (or, stock it with bird seed), they will come. We have birds  by the dozens outside. And the cats [...]

Hey!
So, I’m really sorry I’ve been MIA. I was still sick most of all last week, and then Easter weekend was busy, and I just didn’t get around to posting. I feel badly about it. I haven’t cooked in like two weeks because I’ve had no appetite from being sick. Ugh!
But I do have some [...]

So, this morning I went to the doctor to get some antibiotics for my head. I woke up this morning and didn’t feel any better and I knew it was time to head to the pros.
It was my first appointment at my new doctor’s office, and I was really impressed. The facility was nice, clean [...]

So, yeah, just seat me at the bitter table – party of one.
After waking up feeling better Saturday morning, I braved venturing out of the house to go to a friend’s to watch the Final Four basketball games. I had a really good time, but only made it through the first game before my head [...]

So, last night wasn’t a good night for little Megan. My body decided to completely crap out on me.
First of all, I went to work Friday, even though I was hacking up a lung and had a migraine-sized headache. I hated to use up one of my sick days when I wasn’t actually puking or [...]

So, I’ve said before that Neal likes capers, so when I saw this recipe for Chicken Scallopine on PW’s site, I knew I had to try it.
It was very similar to the chicken piccata I make, but with addition of mushrooms and a much lighter sauce. The recipe called for heavy cream in the sauce, [...]
