creating with loved ones.
On Sunday we hung out with our dear friends the Garbarino's. We always love every chance we get to hang out. We stayed over way too late. I was so sleepy getting home. But it was so worth it. We love them dearly.
Recently they had to go out of town for family. So it ended up being a long time since we saw them last. They took Kevin and I to dinner at Red Robin, and that was so yummy! 2/3's of us had the Whisky River burger! It's my favorite there. We hardly ever have chances to go out to eat, but whenever I'm there that's what I ALWAYS get. I'm sure the rest of the menu is delicious too, but I just can't come to bring myself to order anything else when there, and it feels worth it every time.
Anyway, we had a great time. Bri was counting every time someone was sung to for their birthday. I think she said that there were 7 or 8, I know I certainly lost count.
We also spent time relaxing and enjoying each others company at their house. Mica made me a scrumptious cup of carmel apple goodness! She had posted her creation of it a while ago, and I've been wanting to try it ever since!
I've been craving macaroons for a while. I got some super yummy Samoa girl-scout cookies, but I wanted the traditional cookie too. I had it in me to look in my cookbooks and cam across it in The Joy of Cooking, which I got from Grandma Tallmon. So I brought the ingredients, and my vintage cookbook and we made the house smell yummy, and our tummies happy! What a treat to have so many yummy things in one night! It truly was decadent.
It took us a bit of tweaking to get them to turn out just right. But the time and work was so worth it. I think I'll make these more often as I've now found they are not anywhere near as hard as I thought they were.
I also brought over some empty eggs and we had fun painting them. Mica made the cutest little chick! And I'm still working on mine, I actually worked on two eggs. I was working some more on a celestial egg I started a few years ago (it's still not finished!) and also working on a hedgehog!
Here is what Mica made, it's so adorable! She's so talented!
Speaking of Hedgehogs! I'm going to be starting a Hedgie blog soon! Something I love so much are hedgehogs, they are so cute. While the Garbarino's were on the road they came across two hedgies which they picked up for me. What sweet and loving friends I have. They're so cute, I just adore them! The smaller hedgie they gave me is a salt shaker, so I wasn't sure if I should put it on my shelf of salt shakers, or with my other shelf of hedgehogs. I ended up putting it with the hedgehogs.
