Living for the Weekend

So much fun last night cooking in the kitchen with girlfriends. Connie, Jennifer, Jacque and Penny.

Asian Turkey Meatballs
1 lb ground turkey
3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 small shallots, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp lemon pepper
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
Transfer the meatballs to the baking sheet and bake them for 15 minutes, until they are lightly browned and cooked through.

Even more perfect was an evening around the firepit.

Appliance Story aka Toy Story

Originally I went shopping for a new stove.
I think I have found a great deal on sale and I will also buy a dishwasher. I decided on a low end Bosch dishwasher.

The stove was delivered on Sunday.    Great.
The dishwasher delivered on Wednesday. Great also.

The dishwasher delivered and installed was not the "low end" dishwasher.
The model is triple the price I paid. My conscience told me to call the company.
I did and they cannot figure out the mixup. They tell me to just use it. Big smile.

During the weekend I received texts from the kids. Cammie and Justin were spending the weekend with Erik in Missouri.

       

And I can't even explain the "parkour" pictures below. I am used to the boys and their parkour. 

The act of parkour justs breaks

out like song at any minute. :)

And now Erik in another parkour picture.
