the chicken wins!

So, I watched celebrity apprentice, and loved the task were they created new meals for Schwans.  The turkey meatballs and pasta won, and at the time I thought it should have, it looked the best out of the two meals.  A couple of weeks ago I got the turkey meatballs and pasta from schwans.  It came with broccoli, which I have always loved, so it was a good meal.  Nothing too special but for a quick healthy meal it was great.  Well, today I decided to get the orange asian chicken, which I was hesitant to try, but it was amazing!!  It came with the most wonderful roasted sweet potatoes, which I usually don't eat, and green beans with almonds.  It's just a tv dinner, but while I was cooking it in the microwave sweet potatoes with a touch of cinnamon smelled amazing.  Anyways I highly recommend the chicken!

a LONG cross country

Yesterday we got up early and headed to the airport, the best way to start a Saturday!  We flew to La Grange for a fly in and to see some of our friends Jerome and his wife Blythe who live there.  Blythe and I had a great time shopping, I had no idea La Grange has this amazing kitchen store!  I can not wait to go back and shop some more :)  We left La Grange in the evening and since Aaron had to make a long cross country flight for his commercial license, we headed further South.  It took several stops for fuel (we ended up at Corpus Christi, which was so cool to land at an international airport!!) and a stop back at La Grange to pick up Aaron's cell phone he left, so it was a long, long night.  We ended up getting back at Waco around 2, but it was so much fun and so worth it!!  I can't wait to do it again!  

Birthday and wedding cake

Last week was a busy, busy week.  Saturday I did a huge wedding cake for the daughter of a good friend. Congratulations Wendy and Tommy!  Check out the boots Aaron made for the grooms cake out of rice crispy treats...he did awesome! There is no way I could have done them myself.  The cake was so much fun, but we didn't get to fully celebrate Aaron's birthday last Thursday..I didn't even get to make him a cake :(  It was Aaron's first 29th birthday, as he kept saying!  His last year in his 20's :)  Happy birthday, ich liebe dich!
