Catching Up

Ready for the strangest Thanksgiving food ever? Well you should have come on over to the Papageorgiou's, where I cooked (yes, cooked!) up the following courses for myself, Danny, and my gluten-free, vegetarian mom. (It was actually amazing if you're an odd foodie like myself!)

--Lemon-Herb Tilapia Tapas, Tuscan White Bean Dip, and Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Tapenade

--Black Bean, Corn, and Avocado Quesadillas with Fresh Smoked Chipotle Salsa

--Charcoal-Grilled Shrimp and Farmers’ Market Veggie Kabobs

--Moroccan Lentils, Chickpea Spinach Curry with Gold Potatoes, and Basmati Rice

--Brown Sugar Ham, Garlic and Rosemary Potatoes, Chicken-Infused Stuffing

And for dessert...
--Pumpkin Cremé Brulee and Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

Also, a couple of months ago (wow, I can't believe it's been that long), Danny and I went to Vegas, danced out butts off, almost broke even, and had a blast with family for my brother's 21st birthday! I think we all looked pretty idiotic at one point or another, but what fun!

Danny, Dad, and I dancing it up at midnight of Tristan's birthday!

Strike a pose, darlin'


These guys are totally real...

Also, I had the privilege this fall of being able to go wedding dress shopping with my best friend in Atlanta, who is marrying a naval officer/pilot next year. I've never actually gone wedding dress shopping before (w/the exception of my own dress which I found immediately in the first store) and this is my first bridesmaid experience. (I'm so glad she has impeccable taste!) But you can't be serious all the time...

What I beautiful bride she'll make--I hope she keeps that picture face...


Girls Night In

Maybe next time I'll have the time to write about the present :)
