new things

we got a bigger couch. the smaller one just wasn't cutting it. we spent 20 minutes on our porch trying to shove this thing through our doorway(which is abnormally small). we didn't think it would fit but it finally it made it inside.... i'm not looking forward to when we move. "apartment for rent- couch included".

i FINALLY got to this! i spent 2 hours after work lastnite reorganizing and cleaning our guest room. it wasn't the most inviting before, but now there's a fouton couch that opens up into a bed for when people want to visit(ahem- EMILY and PAOLA). and kisa loves her new corner.

we have an eclectic collection of things. i tried to work it out as best as possible with the little space that we have. it looks a lot better... now we just need some rugs.... the most expensive thing, ugh.

i love purple potatoes. they're sooo beautiful. lately i've just been fryin them up with onions, peppers, a hot pepper, garlic and i scramble and egg or two and add some cheese... sour cream and hot sauce are my bonus. an insanely filling breakfast.

i love baking spaghetti squash. tons and tons of parmesan cheese. thanks alica :)

beach has been super windy lately 

tried makin some gazpacho but it didn't turn out as planned. please, don't process peppers... and flash cook the tomatoes and peel them before you process them. 

christalyn and i were craving fried pickles...

had cheese and wine nite with us 4 neighbor girls. i want this to happen once a week. best dinner.

i made parmesan crisps.... all you do is grate some fresh parm and patty them on parchment paper on a baking sheet. pop 'em in a 350' oven til golden (6-7 mins). thanks ina garten!

matt and i headed to oktoberfest on sunday...

we shared a dog with sauerkraut, potato pancakes, and.. i ate the giant pickle on my own. we had a few german beers and enjoyed ourselves. might've pretended to be in europe cause we miss it so much.

after oktoberfest we went to sweet water for some drinks and this delicious in house made mozz! mmm!

i love my brother
