Too much good stuff!

In the AM/PM of life, there is just too much good stuff.  Here are some recent highlights for your day or night convenience store snacking.

THE MKs come to visit!  March 19, 2011

The little cousins, who are only a few weeks apart.

Mark and Kristen attempted to surprise my parents with a weekend visit.  Surprising my parents is hard, though.  Rob & Ruthie called ahead to reserve the sleeping quarters under false pretenses.  Unfortunately, a horrible delay on i-80 made Mark & Kristen stay in Tahoe overnight.  But we were still so glad to see them!  Everybody had fun playing together, eating, and celebrating Lyddie's birthday.  Thanks to Ruthie for the pictures!

We performed the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly!

Breathtaking hiking 3/26/11

Following the not-so-hot dance in San Rafael, Saturday brought the supremely worthwhile hiking at Point Reyes.  The forecast said nothing but rain.  We got drenched for about half an hour, but there was plenty of sun to make the day amazing.  Thanks to Jonathan, who played host and again made the good times roll. We came back cold and hungry.  Jen's emphatic response: Sol Food!  It was the weirdest restaurant to ever rate delicious.  First, you have to figure out the Puerto Rican menu.  They are remodeling the dining room, so you order in one place, then walk across the street to a top secret dining room inside an old video store.  Inside, it's very cute and festive. There are only a few tables, so they seat you in any open area and you make friends with the people already there.  Then, they bring your food already in to-go boxes and in no connection to the timing of your order.  Unless they don't.  They didn't bring James his food until we had all finished and the next group had joined us at our table. It's good food if you can get it. Jen ate there twice in two days!

Surprise! 3/31/11

I randomly decided to use up the fruit in the freezer and make a crumble on Thursday night.  Just as it finished baking, look who showed up at my door.  Surprise!  It's my best mate Virjinia from San Jose and her family, who stopped by on their way to General Conference.  We had a good time eating dessert and catching up.  Yay for pitstops at the Casita!

There's still this weekend!

A good-bye party for Julie Wyatt, dancing at MidTown Stomp, General Conference, Michelle Dunnaway's birthday/breakfast/conference, Jane Eyre at the Tower Theater with Bonnie Bair and Laura Lawrence, and a stop at the Tower Cafe for this bit of amazement:

Chocolate mousse covered with ganache and gold leaf

We are ladies of high worth- we have gold in our guts!

Ok, enough browsing the food-on-the-fly section of the convenience store blog. It's late in the PM now, and AM comes too soon.  See you next time on the way to somewhere!
