July 4, 2013 Happy 4th of July

So, today was a cooking day.  I got up made breakfast of waffles, sausage links and scrambled eggs.  It was so nice to have a morning that was not Sunday to be home as a family.  We got a bunch done in the yard and a couple things around the house.

The 4th of July is about heating up the grill right?  First thing this morning I realized that I forgot to close th propane tank the other day when I had grilled.  Not good.  It was the most awful smell ever!!!  Glad I did find it though so it didn't get worse.  Well, I made hamburgers and grilled up some zucchini.  Thankfully Russ will eat the zucchini, but we are going to have to work on madalynn eating zucchini.  It took some tears and work to get it done.   I will have to practice on the grill because things turned out ok, but not great.  

other than that, we are not party people unless we are going somewhere with family.  We hung around the yard, did yard work, figured out what we are going to do with our phone plan, took pictures of the kids on the front porch, drank root beer and I am trying to convince my husband that we need to take the kids to see a fireworks show.  We will see if that happens.  I pulled another 4 zucchini from my garden so I really need to get making some zucchini bread tomorrow or sat.  Unfortunately I can't make it in the morning when I am a little cooler in the house because I work the next two days.  It is just terribly hot and too hot to think in the house today.  That is what happens with no AC or swamp cooler outside.  

I am planning on grilling again tomorrow.  We are going to do salmon on a cedar plank.  I hope that this time works out better than the last time I tried it.  We will see.  I am excited to try a fresh lemon not just lemon juice. 

My dehydrator that I ordered should be here soon.  I am getting excited to try and use it, esp. on some fruit leather.  I bought some kiwi at costco yesterday and I would like to use it in the fruit leather and also in some homemade popsicles.  Hopefully I will get to all that in the next couple days.  Off to try and get my husband to go to a fireworks show.
