Thursday's Post

Steph installed this lovely storm door all by herself. It took forever, but it is beautiful and I like having the extra light during the day. Also, I think it's very Southern and friendly to have the door open all day.

Wednesday's post

This is a pretty candle on our kitchen table. We got it on one of our Target runs. Target is such a fun store. I am especially fond of the dollar bins.

Another Bon Appetit recipe

Tonight I made the Indian Grilled chicken with grilled mangoes and mango jasmine rice from the May issue of Bon Appetit. It was SOOO GOOD! Andrew, you must make it immediately.

Capresso

This is Capresso, Steph's new best friend. We snagged this lovely esspresso maker from my parents' house. It makes the best lattes.

Sunday's post

I love Crocs! I have a new obsession with them. I had four pairs, but now I have three because Beignet ate one of them. OH!!!

STACKED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE AND CHEESE

As a gift to myself, and to inspire me to cook at home more often, I got a subscription to Bon Appetit last month. I found about 4 recipes in this month's issue that I want to try. Last night I made the first of these recipes, a variation on chicken enchiladas. It was delicious. Making the salsa was a little more involved than I would have preferred, and I substituted pulled grilled chicken instead of roasted chicken, but it was delicious and I would definitely make it again. Here is a picture of Steph enjoying the fruits of my labor.

whiskey sours

Last night I made whiskey sours with fresh sour mix. They were delicious. We sat on the deck with some neighbors, had some drinks, and talked. Good times. Gentleman Jack is, in my opinion, the best whiskey for whiskey sours. It isn't too expensive and it tastes good with the sour mix.
