Jenn and I enjoyed a delicious picnic in the park on Thursday evening with one of my friends from school, her daughter and Mom. I made crab and cream cheese tortilla roll-ups and we brought chips and watermelon while my friend Sophia brought some rosemary chicken, canola greens, mango and homemade bread. Every Thursday night during the summer they put on a free concert followed by a movie on a giant inflatable screen. This weeks movie was Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief. However we didn’t stay for the whole movie as it started to drizzle out and we had seen the movie before. I’d give it only three stars anyway.
Last night we went to my friend Richelle’s place for her annual summer BBQ and the cheeseburgers were delicious. We played some new dice game that I really enjoyed followed by a guitar jam session in the living room. Richelle’s husband plays in a band and we are planning on going to see him play at a local watering hole tomorrow night.
In other news, Jenn’s ring arrived this week, but unfortunately she has to send it back to get resized as it was a tad too big. So she won't be getting it back for another 3 weeks or so. I tried to snap a picture of it but it came out a little blurry.
Today, I spent five hours in the kitchen cooking a labour intensive but delicious meal. I made homemade rolls, blueberry pie, quiche Lorraine, a pastry cinnamon roll, a cauliflower casserole, orange juiced pork chops and crunchy potato balls. I was hot and tired and the kitchen was a disaster by the time I was done but Mom’s pastry recipe turned out superb. My only complaint would be that the orange juice was a little too concentrated in the pork chops. I did them in the slow cooker with undiluted O.J. from concentrate along with several other ingredients as the recipe called for.
I’ll leave you with a picture a gaggle of geese that decided they wanted to cross the road in front of us the other day.
