Dinner with Casey and Lindsey

Pretty tablecloth from France

Cake balls!

Kyle made a double batch of his delicious beef stir fry for dinner along with a mushroom soup. We had a nice time with Casey and Lindsey, eating, chatting, and playing Bang. We got to use a lovely table cloth that mom and Elroy got us in France this summer. Also shown: candle stick holders from Hans and Margit from Denmark!

Our guests brought up some tasty cake balls as a gift and we are enjoying them very much!

New recipe: Lemon yogurt mousse with blueberry sauce

Casey, another postdoc in Kyle's department, and his wife, Lindsey, are coming over for dinner tonight. I decided to try a new recipe from the healthy America's Test Kitchen for dessert. This seems sort of French inspired since I had to whip things up and it was a bit complicated but it seems to have worked out! Looking forward to trying to tonight.

Kyle is making a bunch of his delicious broccoli and beef stir fry for dinner!

Interesting bed

Kyle is with me in College Station this week to work through tomorrow and it's been fun to show him around a bit!

A bad side of that is that the air mattress, which had already blown out a few of its things that keep it bed-shaped, is extra hard to sleep on with two people instead of just me. Then today I filled it with some more air after a rather uncomfortable night last night, and then it blew out some more! Hopefully these pictures capture some of the ridiculousness.

Wreck-It Ralph!!

Go see it! Really fun movie!!! Marc is in the credits twice!

Pictures from the Star Trek TNG Reunion!!

I bought some special tickets for Kyle and me to go to the Austin Comic Convention recently as an early birthday present for Kyle. It was supposed to be a surprise, but Kyle eventually found out about the event so I told him a week or two beforehand.

We had a great time! We got to meet all of the cast members on this 25th anniversary of the start of the show. We had pictures with them and got autographs, and were allowed to get better seats than the other people at the event. We were in the very front for each! It was really fun to see the cast members up close and a great opportunity.

Star Trek Convention

More tasty food!

Kyle made a skillet shepherd's pie recipe from the healthy America's Test Kitchen cookbook, and it was really good! It has a comfort food taste but also really good flavor.

Some cooking!

Last weekend, Kyle and I went to the Austin Comic Convention. I will post pictures from that soon. But, after the convention, we did a little cooking. We made brown rice, sesame, spinach, and scallion pancakes, which have a nice texture but not enough flavor. We think they need a tasty sauce. I also made some pumpkin muffins, which are ok but not amazing.
