Couch and Loveseat

For our 111th post, we wanted to do something a little special. We were couch-hunting on KSL for a few weeks, having grown weary of our loveseat, the first piece of furniture we bought as a couple. After several inquiries and heartaches over missed deals, we found a couch and a loveseat on KSL for only $30. They were so cheap because of the floral design that will be in style in our home when we are 96 years old. But, with the miracle of couch covers, they serve their purpose.

Here we are on our happy additions.

Our new favorite hobby is listening to The Hunger Games read on grooveshark.com at night, after school and work and church callings and such. Our new couch and loveseat are the perfect perches for tired bodies hungry for our favorite modern unethical literature.

The miniature sun that you see in the corner is actually our IKEA lamp.



Thanks, KSL.

Finally something to blog about!

Ok, so it has been a while since we have really blogged (except for that recent cake blog) but I finally have something to talk about! It all started with the apple. I got a bunch of apples on sale and each day Eric and I would each take a half. One day, something happened!
I was half way through the apple...


And my corer broke! It was from the dollar tree though. So now we do it the old fashioned way with a knife.

Next up, Eric signed up for summer school classes. He looks excited about it.


And third, I have been really bad about cooking dinner lately. So yesterday I decided it was time for me to shape up. Today's menu for dinner was a baked potato. And I must admit, I have never ever liked baked potatoes. But I decided to give them another try. I also decided I would try out a sweet potato (I always thought that yams were sweet potatoes, but they are actually yams. Sweet potatoes are a light yellow on the inside). So I got myself a sweet potato and regular potatoes. I followed some directions to make the outside skin crispy so that we could eat the whole thing

not the prettiest picture, but let me tell you, that sweet potato was one of the best things I have ever eaten! Soft and not starchy tasting at all! Sweet and juicy! I am definitely buying those again! I WANT MORE!!! We just topped them with a little butter, cheese, sour cream, green onions and tomatoes for me and bacon for Eric. Luckily Eric LOVES potatoes so he is very happy with my new discovery. Yay for baked potatoes and a meal that I leave wanting more!

So I have a menu all planned for the next two weeks and I think it is making Eric giddy that I am cooking meals again.

Cake

Hum, We haven't posted in a long time, but that's because there isn't really anything new to post about. Just school and work. But back when when it was Presidents Day, I made a cake and we did take pictures. So here are the pictures.



So there you have it. I can bake too.
