I have been off a lot of days in July, and had a chance to work on the entryway. Still needs some molding, the floor worked on, etc...but it is MUCH better. See for yourself:
Before (ugly & dark with crappy fake wood molding and hole in the wall!):
After (bright and clean! I still have to put the other door up but it is all painted & finished!). Still needs molding, have to paint the outside of the outside door (see the blue tape!?):
Also, the owl's do not cover the holes completely :( so I had to put white plates underneath - here is the pic to explain more. I still have to finish painting on the wall, but this is just the start of a sketch:
AND, as you know if you read this, it was my birthday Monday! Yay for me. Way to go and make it another year, yes, thank you. Anywho, S & I decided to go to the Farmer's market & pick up some local yums to make dinner Sunday night.
Local chicken for Beer Can Chicken - yep! It is a great way to keep it moist. As many of you also know, I eat very little meat now, but I'll make exceptions for local and if I know about how it was raised (or if there is no other way around it).
Here he is ready to go:
In the oven:
Done!:
AND!!! We made Lemon Blueberry Buckle.
Now what, you are asking yourself this very moment in time, is a buckle? Well, like coffee cake, only with fresh fruit both in the cake and a layer in between the cake & crumb topping. OH, and it has a GLAZE. Glaze is glorious, don't believe anything otherwise.
Glaze just poured (note the shiny) right after it is out of the oven:
Glaze all set up - see my yogurt maker int he back!:
Side view:
Slice! (note the beer - Sah'tea by Dogfish Head - it is a beer brewed with CHAI TEA - NOT kidding. Is that made for me or what? It is also delicious):
We also had Cuke Salad w cukes from my parents' house :D
The Lemon-Blueberry Buckle is pretty much the most delicious thing you have ever ever ever EVER had. Um, and YUM.
