Crepes that is!  We took my cousin, Jason, here this weekend.  I'd never actually gone either, but had heard amazing things.  D and I decided to split a dessert.  REALLY, not sure what we were thinking!!! :o)  We went with the Lemon Curd with fresh blueberry sauce = delish!  Yet another fav of Austin.

Best part was when Jason said that crepes essentially was the French making burritos.  Hilarious.

A bed for a horse, bubbles and a birthday.

When D and I got Steel, we knew there was NO way he was going to sleep on the bed with us like Bella does.  He is estimated to be 140 lbs, making him a small horse.  So, we had to decide how to make him feel loved without letting him on the bed at night.  Right now we are still kennel training him, and he will sleep in there until he can sleep through the night and/or he doesn't fit any more.  At his last check up (3 months), he was 22 lbs and now stands the same height as Bbears.

I knew how much dog beds were at the store, so Scotty and I decided to have mom help us make some instead.   Once we found fabric, we decided to place pillows inside the casing. That way, we could easily take them out to wash or replace them.  I used 4 king sized pillows in my bed, and I still think it might be small once he is full grown.  Both pups LOVE it though.  They play, fight, and sleep on that thing.

While we were shopping for pillows, Scotty also thought it would be fun to get bubbles for the dogs to play with.  Apollo loved it.

 

 This photo is blurry, but B's face is hilarious. 

Now I have to share all the delicious foods we had for Scotty's bday celebration.  The first thing we surprised him with was finally taking him to Gordough's.  He'd been asking to go there for the last year and we finally made it.  They were pretty ridiculous donuts.

We ended the night with one of the best seafood dinners I have ever made.  We did a fish boil with fish, scallops, calamari and shrimp with a side of Parmesan risotto and crab cakes.  DELISH.

 

Good times in the Walker household.

Sunday-Funday

After a long Saturday and a beautiful wedding, Sunday was my day to recover.  I decided to take the day off of working out and ran my 5 miles this morning (busted it out, btw!!).  Did I sleep in Sunday? Yeah right.  Does 8 a.m. count?  Ha.  So I decided D and I needed to take B somewhere and get breakfast.  We decided to be bad and try out the trailer called Biscuits and Groovy (51st and Duval).  It was pretty delicious, so I have to post pictures of our menu:

The Biscuits and Groovy - biscuits smothered in white pepper gravy with sausage and chives

The Johnny Hash - What I had topped PLUS bacon, potatoes and cheese!

You starting to get hungry yet?  The rest of our Sunday consisted of the dog park, my favorite coffee, the Women's World Cup game and making these delicious little bars - Strawberry Lemon Bars.

Fresh out of the oven - topped with a little sprinkle of powdered sugar

They were pretty delicious and wonderful cold.  They remind me of the lemon berry slush you can get at Sonic.  Perfect for summer. 

Happy baking!  Love B
