 Nice to get home and just have leftover pizza that Jason made. It was a treat to get away, especially on such a hot weekend, but of course it's always good to get home, too.

 After a day doing things I don't normally do (going to tag sales and sitting around on a dock, for instance), we had a lovely dinner of grilled chicken and pineapple, a sort of Asian inspired cabbage salad with uncooked ramen noodles, and a chocolate birthday cake (from me). My favorite thing was the asparagus tart that Jen and I made for an appetizer. From Smitten and absolutely delicious. We used a store bought puff pastry instead of making a pie crust, and I have no regrets. It was wonderful and I am making it for home later in the week.

The cake was just a mix, with chocolate frosting from Smitten. I tried to frost it nicely and it didn't look too bad!

 Weekend at the lake house commenced with margaritas, Mexican take-out (chili rellenos for me, of course) and games. It was a beautiful night to be sitting out on the porch.

 Burrito bowls, with Mexican rice (which did not turn out so well. Kind of mushy and the bottom burned a bit. I think the next time I will start it on the stove and then throw the whole shebang into the rice cooker), black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, etc

Jason and I thought they were delicious, but Carter said that the sweet potatoes "ruined the whole dish". He bravely managed to eat it anyway.

 Went to Jennie and David's for our first inside dinner! Back to my old tricks of eating too much bread, cheese and garlic. Jason brought bread, I made another rhubarb cobbler, which is fitting since the rhubarb came from their garden. The Pioneer Woman recipe serves me well, but I think I should add more rhubarb next time.

 We had a LOT of pizza left over from lunch in Whately (we got a family size from Big Y. Not great but there is plenty of it). So pizza and watermelon for dinner. We doctored up the pizza with onions and peppers, plus salami. It helped but that is not an awesome pizza.

Dinner with Jen and John: Jason made two(!) loaves of bread, so we made grilled cheese. Jen made a salad with goat cheese and strawberries, and I made a batch of rhubarb cobbler.  Nice spring dinner.
