If there is one thing we like in the Migl household its eating good food. I'm afraid we might be in trouble. This really can't be good for us.
Case in point. I figured out how to drag my husband to acres of antique shopping in Round Top a few weeks ago. THE SECRET- you promise some delicious Snow's BBQ for breakfast. Throwing in a trip to College Station at the end of the day doesn't hurt either.
Hayden looks pretty happy to have bbq at 8:30 am. Come to think of it I was pretty happy, too. We needed to fuel up for the wonder that is cow pastures full of antiques.
This was my plate. The two little cups contained my potato salad and coleslaw. I didn't take off the lids before I took the picture, but trust me, it was delicious.
After breakfast, we spent a few hours looking at expensive antiques and other things we have no room for right now. Poor Hayden he heard the phrase "when we have a house" a few million times. My husband humors me sometimes. On the way out of Round Top, we even paid a visit to my dream home. I'm mildly obsessed with the model homes by Texas Casual Cottages in Carmine. Then Hayden got to hear the phrase "when we win the lottery."
After our busy afternoon, we headed to College Station where we got some yogurt at Spoons (oh how I miss me some Spoons yogurt) and visited with some friends. The first social call was to the Hartl's and their two adorable boys. I built several space needles out of magnetic building blocks for Ian, which we promptly destroyed and rebuilt. After catching up, we met up with Hayden's old roommate Joey and Dr. Bearfield for dinner.
Okay, back to the depths of our food obsession. Last week, we tried out a new recipe for Chicken Pesto Panini Sandwiches. All of our new recipes lately have come from Kitchen Boss. It's the Cake Boss' cooking show and surprise all of the recipes are Italian. We don't mind that at all.
Hayden hard at work assembling the paninis. We made two different types of pesto and potato wedges for a side. It's not exactly the healthiest meal, but it was tasty.
Speaking of new recipes, I discovered my next craft project- a menu board for the fridge. I'm excited to try out new recipes and fill up our board. Of course, I'll have to make a few trips to the craft store and play around with my Silhouette machine first.
I love this idea. Its great for the obsessively organized of whom I strive to be one of someday. I found this idea and the sample at the blog below.
We went back down Sunday morning before we left, and the sculptors were putting the final touches on their creations. Here are a couple of the coolest ones. The first is Mr. Peanut at the psychiatrist.
And the last one, in honor of the Dillo Cup which was also being played this past weekend, is an armadillo drinking a beer. Very classy.
And finally, every trip to the beach is not complete without one last couple picture. You can see we got a little sun, and we're already looking forward to going back soon.
