My friend posted a pic of a pie and it got me thinking about pie. We picked strawberries and raspberries at the farm and I made up a recipe for pie - made the pie crust, mixed the berries with flour and sugar and then did a crumble topping. Came out pretty good!
Even with AC, the house gets hot on 90 degree days. The air just hangs with our vaulted ceilings, so we got Vornado fans, which help with air circulation. They make a big difference! Ellena likes to hang out by the fan, silly girl.
Here's our father's day gifts to Pops and Grandpa. We got stepping stone kits and the kids put their handprints into them.
For my birthday dinner, I chose a restaurant in Seattle that we saw on Food Network's Diners, Drive Inns and Dives. Bizzarro Cafe was pretty good, but the heat in the restaurant was horrible. It was uncomfortable and we wanted to get out of there as fast as we could. Unfortunately, we probably won't go back there, but the actual food was ok. We're sticking with our favorite Italian place, Tropea, for future Italian cravings :)
Since we couldn't stand to hang around for dessert, we headed back to the Eastside and got Coldstone ice cream in Bellevue. Very refreshing!
A brand new movie theater complex opened up nearby and we went to the $2 tix, popcorn and soda showing of the Croods. We really enjoyed the movie!
With the warm, dry weather hanging around for a bit, the bouncy house came out!
I started growing kale and chard in the spring from seeds and the plants are doing well - here's my first harvest. Trimmed some leaves and took it to the 4th of July potluck. Very tasty and tender greens!
