all about the food (and drink)
So Brian will email me any minute and tell me "no one cares what you had for lunch." I know. I really do. But our long weekend was ALL about food and that rarely happens for our skinny little family. Here are a few foodie highlights (in very particular order):
•breakfast at Wheatfields with Heather and Matt. Good rolls, coffee, and company.
•lunch at Local Burger.
•Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
•bloody mary's snuggled up on the couch for this movie. Watch. it. now. (if you haven't already.)
•pork roast in the crock pot Robot Style. Homemade pitas (recipe found via Stephanie) wrapped around a pile of pulled pork, greens, cilantro and "baja sauce". Washed down with ice cold Corona with lime. I'm still drooling over that meal.
•Easter breakfast- Banana crumb muffins, Mr. Dell's Potato casserole, bacon, juice and coffee.
•Smoked ribs (thank you, Brian!)
•pineapple upside down cake (thank you, Dad!)
•marshmallow peeps and jelly beans (thank you, Easter bunny!)
I gotta go now. I need to take a walk. Oy.

Alicia, your photos are lovely. I'm totally with you on needing a walk and all -- and I still have a dozen homemade cupcakes with homemade buttercream frosting sitting here to fill me fuller. Oy, indeed!

Ha, every time I make a food post I think about that book. Well, I care what you had for lunch because it looks delicious--especially the pulled pork on pitas. Thanks for the recipe links!

I guess I shouldn't care what you had for lunch, but I do! I really do! Thanks for a great post.

We care, we care.
Wow - that is a good old fashioned food obsessed weekend. I haven't had one of those in ages - ages and ages. Wow - those tacos on pitas just look DEVINE.

I always care about lunch.
Now I am hungry.
And the doll is just beautiful, Alicia! I heart her. I showed her to Elise, but she has to keep her a secret for 6 whole months. Luckily Charlotte wouldn't know what she was saying anyway.
