Mellow Mushroom and Friends

Mellow Mushroom and FriendsWe are having movie night with Allison and Steve Tofflemire. I’m grabbing pizza at Mellow Mushroom for the gang.

We are going to be watching Hercules, which is one of Steve’s favorite movies. I’m looking forward to the movie. I haven’t seen it in years. Katie Beth will love it because of all the singing.

Hot Coals

Hot CoalsAh, hots coals.

We are grilling tonight. We have a lovely pork loin covered with Old Bay season and a little Butt Rub®. We have chicken all season, too.

After enjoying the pork loin, we toasted marshmallows until we couldn’t eat any more.

Our Little Cook

Our Little CookKatie Beth in her apron that just came in the mail. She loved it. We got out her toddler cookbook and made multicolored meringues.

She had a blast, but I could not get her to use less force. Meringue went everywhere and she kept eating the power sugar that had fallen on the floor and table.

But, they tastes very good.

Hanging at Raglan Road

Hanging at Raglan RoadKaren and I are getting a little time. Katie Beth has crashed for a late nap, which should mean that we will get a long nap.

I even got to try a brew from the Orlando Brewing, which is an organic brewery. I’m drinking the Brown Ale, which is very tasty.

Making Hamburgers

Making HamburgersKatie Beth made her first humburger patties with her dad today. Wow, we were having fun, but we had to manage her hands.

We ended up washing every surface that she got near and then some.

Every weekend, we make some meal together. She is always looking forward to help with the meal.

Another American Pass Time

Another American Pass TimeGrilling is a wonderful thing to do with family and friends.

Today, we kicked back and grilled chicken. Katie Beth loves to help with the grilling. We started with brining the chicken the day before grilling.

Katie Beth gets the ingredients and pours them into the container. I have to regulate the pouring to some extent otherwise she would pour until the container emptied.

She likes to help with the grilling, but she thinks we should touch and check the chicken too much.
