Weekend of Luxury
This weekend was spent getting away from life. It was so nice. I spent nearly all day Saturday lounging on the couch and getting caught up on 22+ hours of PVR'ed television shows. Then my lovely wife made great Mexican food while I finally grabbed some Cointreau at the local liquor store in an attempt to try to perfect the "Pomegranate Martini" for my bride. Getting closer, but its still not perfect.
This morning I woke up and grabbed the Wii and started to play Wario Ware Smooth Moves while Noah was out playing and the girls were upstairs. I got all 50 levels complete on one of the mini games and had a BLAST doing it. Then Ashley really started to ask about making "flower eggs". I figured I would give it a try but we didn't have flower cookie cutters. So we settled on Heart shaped eggs. They really turned out better than I expected.
We started by cutting out the bread with the cookie cutter. Lathering the cookie sheet with butter and bread with butter. Then pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees and started to wait. Well actually we brought mom some coffee.
We then cracked and egg at a time and poured them into the holes we had created. Only one yoke was funny looking during this stage. We then slid the tray in the oven for about 7 minutes while we started to prepare the bacon on the stove. In seven minutes we had decent looking creation that was very presentable. The kids said it tasted good (like boiled eggs). I ate a little of Noah's and it definitely had that easter egg taste. Pretty cool little creation. I love getting a chance to hang with the kids and be dad!
