Parties and Such

 

 

Yesterday was my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. So we threw a party for them. Conveniently it was close enough to the fourth of july that we were able to celebrate with fireworks. Can I get a hoo-ray?

 

Some of my fondest memories are those of my family get-togethers. The Abbott side is incredibly loud and opinionated and so gatherings with them always proves to be rather interesting.

 

My poor husband isn't used to so much ruckus though, hopefully he doesn't disown me.

 

Also today I tackled not one, but two pinterest recipes! Please hold the applause.

 

First off - fried zucchini...

 

 

Battered and deep fried in Crisco! Seems a little counter productive to my health goal of avoiding fried foods, but whatever. They tasted muy delicioso.

 

And secondly, these super good, quick and easy garlic knots:

Cooking has proved to be a challenge for me, among other things since I have been going to school and working full time, but I do really enjoy the days that I can actually prepare scrumptious dishes. We have been eating a lot of frozen stuff and fast food lately... so don't feel too bad if you don't ever get the chance to cook either!
