Salt & Humor

These last few days have gone fast.  It is official! Happy 2010 everyone!

New Year’s Eve was my cousin’s birthday! We had a great celebration for her Thursday night. Homemade sushi and cake! My only sushi picture is blurry, sorry.

The food was great and the company even better.  Happy Birthday Brie!

Friday, we took off to Union, WA for a birthday celebration weekend.  We stayed at Alderbrook.  Let me just tell you, “this place is beautiful!”

Oh, good heavens! We snacked on cheeses, wine, smoked salmon and salami.  We enjoyed the beautiful indoor pool and soaked in the jacuzzi.  Then we woke up to room service breakfast.  Brie and I had wonderful hot stone and aromatherapy massages in the spa and sat in the steam room after! For dinner I had lobster bisque and Alaskan salmon and Jason had the jumbo prawns.

On the drive back to Portland we made a very necessary stop at Port of Subs. Words cannot explain how much Jason loves these sandwiches.  They are good, I must admit.  We do not have them in Portland, so it is a treat when we go!

Now, just to back-track a little, as I got behind the last few days.  I just wanted to share the grilled veggies I had with my flatout sangwich on Wednesday.

That is all for now.  After a few days away, I must spend time with my kitties that have walked across this keyboard at least 30 times while I worked on this post, do some laundry and watch a movie on this relaxing Sunday. I am going to see what all the Twilightfuss is about.

I slack again! Ask my brother, one of my nicknames is, Slacker. HA! Today, I am a slacker because I DID NOT make it to the gym.  Instead, i did this:

Oops!

I was going to do a Jillian Michaels workout when I got home.  I have excuses, I swear.  Bottom line; tomorrow it’s going to happen, I swear.

Last night I made ciabatta bread. What-Ev! Really it was just a yummy white flour blob.  It’s that bread machine that makes shitty bread, I think.  Well, it’s not like I would have made it otherwise.  So, I guess the machine comes in handy from time to time.

This was an allrecipes.com knock off. No biggie!

It did have fresh garlic and rosemary though….nope, still just a processed, white flour blob! The part that did have me groovin though, was this:

YES!  The bread was just a reason to sop up as much vinegar as possible.  Possibly even enough to choke a little.

Tonight, my eats were simple.  I got off track, talked on the phone for too long and sipped a bit of grape juice was only cooking for one. Twas a simple grilled sandwich thingy.  Is it called a wrap or a sangwich??

Flatout,  kale, tomato, veggie burger, sabra hummus, and yellow mustard, of course.  It was pretty good. Heh!

Time to catch up a few of my favorite bloggies.  I might just make nog ice cream.  What is that you say?  Well, you will just have to wait and see.
