Miscellaneous Monday

While it may technically be summer break, I still managed to find a pile of snow lingering around!

Today is my father-in-law’s birthday!

My in-laws: Steve & Kelly

We celebrated last night with dinner at our place.

(Ha, ha! Craig’s cutie patootie got in the picture!)

On the menu:

White Bean Dip with Food Should Taste Good Multigrain chips

Everyone enjoyed the dip. It could have had a little less garlic though.

Kristin posted a recipe for this Asian Noodle Salad the other week, and I knew I would be trying it soon!!

Oh my goodness gracious!! This was ahh-mazing—so, so, so, good!

Everyone was raving about how delicious and flavorful it was! We all loved the fresh ingredients it had!

You must make it now!!

Fresh fruit: something you can never go wrong with!

Watermelon

This was a must because ever since my father-in-law was little, he got watermelon on his birthday.

(Locals: I got this at Costco, but it wasn’t that sweet.)

Dessert: French Silk Pie

Absolutely divine!! Creamy, chocolately, and absolutely amazing!!

Recipe can be found here.

Time to serve it up!

Muahahaha!!

Today has been filled with miscellaneous activities:

– blog posting

– lunch with Craig

– a little shopping

And a much-needed eye brow wax.

I went to The Beauty Room based off a recommendation.

Overall, I had a good experience. My appointment did start 15 minutes late, which was kind of annoying, but the gal was apologetic for running behind.

A relaxing night is in store for me—something I don’t get to do when I am working!!

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

      Yeah, and it is on the cheaper end of the ‘eye brow waxing’ spectrum for Anchorage–at least from what I’ve seen.

    That fresh fruit looks so good.

    I have never gotten an eyebrow wax and to be honest, I’m quite frightened too. ha.

      It is a little intense, but nothing unbearable.
