This is what I did while John painted. The jury is still out as to whether it's any good -- we haven't cut into it yet!
It got up to like 60 degrees the other day, so John opened up the windows. Here are all three of our kitties enjoying the fresh air.
This is a meal that John and I seem to equally enjoy. We grill a flat iron steak (if you haven't tried this relatively new cut, you should -- it comes at a good price and is delicious!), then add to salad with whatever fixings you like. On this night, we ate our salads with multi-grain bread dipped in hot olive oil seasoned with minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Plus, it only takes like 20 min!
These are some V-day cookies I made and sent to my sister Jessy and John's sister Lucia. They're sandwich cookies with strawberry and chocolate frosting inside. I hope they arrived to Iowa City and Columbus in tact and not too frozen!
I made baby-back ribs and haystacks for our Valentine's Day dinner. The ribs turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself -- and they are super easy to make -- cook ribs in boiling water for 45 min, marinate in bbq sauce for a few hours, bake at 250 F for 3 hours, and broil for 10 min. The meat was literally falling off the bone!
Around 2:00 p.m. on Friday, 2/12, it started snowing, hard! These photos were taken after it had been snowing for only 2 or so hours! It all melted by the following day, but it sure was pretty while it lasted.
