trip to tampa

My dad came to visit this past week. He flew in on sunday morning and monday am we headed to Tampa to watch the Red Sox play the Rays. We lost. We lost all 3 against the Rays although we only watched the first 2 games, better luck next year.
Some of you who post to your blog always talk about all the good stuff you make to eat at home. i love to cook but the husband doesnt love to eat a lot of stuff, he is WAY to picky, so we are pretty boring when it comes to food. However with my dad visiting (3 days here and 2 in tampa) I actually cooked, and I cooked something other than steak (our staple)! Sunday I made pulled pork in the crock pot (thank you Beth for the recipe). It was AWESOME! with some grilled red onions on top and coleslaw on the side (store bought but good). and E actually liked it. we will definately be having it some more. Wednesday i made chicken pounded out and rolled up with ham and cream cheese inside and rolled in a "spicy thai peanut bake" from taste of thai. my favorite for sure. and last night we made quesadillas. I got a quesadilla maker for christmas and left it at my dads, he finally brought it to me and it is the best device ever. way better than bought quesadillas. we filled them with chicken, onions and peppers, mushrooms, ans a ton of cheese. its fabulous. we also made homemade guacamole, we love avocados. I could eat them every day. and homemade pico de gillo. good stuff. i am so proud of myself, i cooked 3 days this week so far! maybe i'll continue the trend. :)

so its the 4th of julya nd we dont reallty have any plans, so far just hanging out at home. we will probably venture out when the baby wakes up and find soemthing to do, after all i did buy him a special 4th of july outfit, i suppose we should at least show it off.
