Raviolis and Wine

a bunch of unused ricotta in the fridge means that we are having homemade spinach ricotta raviolis for dinner tonight. And the best part is?? It's being paired with some yummy wine. I am officially a red-wine fanatic and get really excited about the opportunity to pair some with a yummy meal. I really just wanted to hop on and post the last couple pictures from Mckenna's visit here. And they really are the last couple as I only have about 6 from the last few things we did.

On saturday night we went to Voodoo Doughnuts. Basically anyone who has visited us has been on a late night venture to Voodoo Doughnuts. No one has ever seen anything like it and so we really wanted Mckenna to catch the experience too. However, we have never had a wait like we did this time. The line was seriously around the corner. People would walk by asking us if the line was for a show and we'd be like "it's for doughnuts." People's reactions were hilarious. Anyway! We waited 40 minutes so Mckenna could see the craziness. For any of you who haven't been there, Voodoo is a famous for making very unusual doughnuts: fruitloops, bacon, peanut butter and oreos, etc...

It was a great adventure and a great doughnut...

Sunday Morning
Our yummy chai that we made in the morning with my milk steamer.
So good!

Ok, so Mckenna has never had hashbrowns before. In fact, she didn't know what they were when I asked her. Wes and I looove hashbrowns, especially Potatoes O'brian. So, I felt like it was something that Mckenna had to have atleast once in her life. I made her scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and peaches. I couldn't believe it as we sat in front of our plates and I had to tell her "people usually eat it with ketchup." ha ha So cute. Anyway, they were a success and she liked them! :)
It was such a great time having Mckenna here. We had a blast and now I'm just recovering from my busy last 3 weeks. Its been a great vacation/summer so far... now, time to start work again and also sink back into normalcy. Which I'm actually pretty excited about.
