Lily Love & Gourmet Meals

We were supposed to head up to Red Bluff last weekend so Brett could go hunting with his Grandpa, but instead weather (read: big waves for Brett to drive the boat in) rolled in, so we decided to stay in town so he could get some surfman training in. Well I was sort of pouting ok...I was pouting about staying home all weekend while he worked, so Brett decided to cheer me up, so I got to pick 4 different fun things to do and Brett picked one (I like those odds!). We put them in a pile and Brett picked which one we would do. I listed exploring Napa for the day, shopping in Sausalito, watch a girl movie and order in, and grocery shopping and cooking. He picked that I had to go pick out a man movie and pickup food. Well, he picked to go grocery shopping and cook a meal together. For some crazy reason, he was shocked he didn't pick his?!? I think he thought he thought he could read my expressions and know which to pick...but I put on my best poker face. Even though we normally shop for groceries and cook together anyway, I as thinking more like a gourmet, tasty, takes a long time to make kind of meal. It took a while, but we finally found the perfect recipe. (Read: Brett finally had to pick something because if you know me, you know how indecisive I am so I can make a simple task excruciating.) Well, we made Emeril's Shrimp Bisque and Paula Deen's Garlic Cheese Biscuits. It was delicious! Brett said it was probably his favorite meal. The biscuits were so easy to make and so tasty, we've made them twice this week. I took a picture of our meal, but really it doesn't do it justice. As you can tell, I don't think I could get a job in photography or making food look tasty, but trust me, it was wonderful! Nicole, we thought of you while we ate even though this is nothing like Linda's Sandbar bisque. We thought you'd like it just as much.

By the way, Brett did get to play in the waves and of course showed off his awesome boat driving skills to the Chief. Now if we could just get some more big waves, so he can make surfman!

Recently, Kayleigh has started noticing Lily and reaching out for her. Watch out Lily! She is quite skilled at pulling Mommy's hair, so I'm sure Lily will be her next victim. Lily is such a good big sister! We got a few good pictures of them snuggling. Kayleigh also loves blankets and hiding under them. Who needs toys? We've got blankets! :)

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love from the Bonner's!
