Thursday night randoms

Hello everyone, I really need to get better about posting, sorry for the break.

I hope you all had a great MLKD!!!

Today I spent basically just doing school. I also went to Borders and looked at...

I love Ina Garten, she is an incredible cook, and all of her food sounds great! Plus the presentation is just gorgeous!!

YUMMM!! ANd don't these cupcakes look incredible!?!?!?

My mom watched this movie and now is really starting to buy homegrown, organic food.

A small organic food market opened not far from our house sometime this year. Organic farmers sell their own food there. My mom just recently started buying there- Let me tell you, their chocolate milk, milk, and peppermint ice cream are soooooo good!!

My mom also bought some home grown spinach- It was beautiful!! It was the darkest color, and the biggest leaves, and you could DEFINITELY taste a difference from that and regular bagged spinach.

Have a great weekend! (almost!)

Italian Wedding Soup

Saturday, my family and I went to a cute little Italian restaurant called- "The Spaghetti Warehouse."

The walls had tons of vintage decorating, and right in the middle was a caboose, which you could eat inside! The food was excellent, the service- marvelous, and the decorating- fun. They had lots of old commercial food posters, like 'Squirt, Coka Cola, ETC.

For dinner I got- Alfredo, shrimp, angel hair pasta, Italian wedding

soup, sour dough bread with garlic butter, and Italian Spumoni. (Cherry, pistachio, and chocolate ice cream.)

I LOVED the Italian wedding soup. That same day I had been

looking at Ina Gartens book, 'Barefoot Contessa Back to the Basics,' and seen the recipe, needless to say- I was excited to find it on the menu!

Several days ago, as I was flipping through the cook book above, I found a recipe for a French Apple tart. I was feeling the need for something sweet so I decided to try it out.

The same day we went to the SPaghetti Warehouse, we also went on a tour of the City. We went on an amazing tour called 'Just Duck Tours.' It was a nice little red bus. But the thing about this bus, is that it went on land, and WATER!! So we got to tour the area from two different angles!! Who invented those things!?!??!

After that we went to the pool, and played some tennis. I m trying to get good at that. I would like to be able to do SOME sort of sport! And plus tennis is cute, and fun!!
