Yes, I made all this today and no, I do not always cook like this for the weekend. But we are expecting some especially hungry house guests tonight and I like to be prepared for them.
That's right, it's Nationals, again. My brother and his buddies are coming down for one last weekend of fun before two of them move across the country. As one of the two is my baby brother, I am trying not to think about that part yet. Right now, I'm just thinking about how much fun they are and how much they eat.
(I found this stowaway behind the oregano when I was out clipping herbs for the casserole.)
We're looking forward to a great weekend of Frisbee golf and other fun things and hope that the weather cooperates. Next week I'll continue to share some glimpses of the new fall products that I'm working on. They're set to debut in the shop right after Labor Day and I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!
Happy weekend to you!
I'm going to need some sort of official warning if there are going to be pictures of birds on the blog. You set my recovery back by 3 days.
