I wish more weekends were like this!
New recipes intrigue me but I very seldom actually get (take) a chance to try one. I decided to try a couple out of Bon Appetit. But it’s really no fun to share three experimental racks of ribs and six pretty cups of Chocolate Mousse with just one, so we invited a couple of couples out to use as guinea pigs!
The ribs were a success, the cauliflower could use a little work and the mousse was outstanding. The company was over-the-top!
Saturday was finally nice after several days of wind and cold. So Leah and Kaitlin and I saddled up. Santa had brought a super-sized soccer ball which we bumped around a bit. After a couple of hours our toes were cold and our poor, out-of-shape ponies were glad to get back out into the pasture.
Sunday morning was lazy. I tried another new recipe for baked eggs. Not really a keeper. Then out to help feed hay.
The buggy mare always stays off a bit, but Zeke, Kaitlin’s horse (on the right), sort of thought that maybe coming up too close might mean another day’s ride!
Another new recipe – Ree Drummond’s Pulled Pork – and a short ride and yummy tuna melts curtisy of Kurtis.
Sounds like an ideal weekend to me, with the exception of some extra pounds added on!
Makes me a little homesick, Soni! Especially the shaggy winter coats!
The smell of those warm shaggy coats would really send you over the edge! Nothing like it and you have to have smelled it to understand it, right?!?
