Hiya!






Hello everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend and Father's Day!


David and I had a wonderful weekend filled with wonderful rainy weather which 'forced' us to stay in and relax :). Friday night we went out to suishi with some friends, which was yummy! Then Saturday we woke up to a torrential rainstorm so instead of going out for brunch we called Mrs. Harvey got a recipe and had fun making an awesome Harvey breakfast (we were pretty thrilled with our 1st tries at bacon and gravy)! I still need to practice making biscuits, but Davy introduced me to Grands freezer biscuits, which are quite yummy, but that was the only non-authentic part of breakfast. Then we just relaxed and watched a movie. When the rain finally let up we went for a swim in the pool and then got ready to go walk around town. We decided to walk up and down Worth Avenue to window shop and then stopped to get some refreshing drinks at Starbucks. Then it was grocery shopping and back home. For dinner we decided to make a delicious lobster, melted butter, tortelini, and zucchini dinner with a Razzleberry (Raspberry and blackberry) pie = super yum! We had rented another movie so watched that and finally went to bed. 4 hours later we woke up to take David to the Ft. Lauderdale airport where his flight was on time and he made it back to Shaw AFB safe and sound. Then for me I went home and slept the rest of the morning :).




So that is about it from us! Hope all is well and that maybe some of you can come down and visit too :) xoxoxo




ps: pictures are of our awesome breakfast and then the two other plates are from our dinner: melon and prociuto appetizer and then lobster, zucchini, tortelini entreé. Plus the two chefs :)

Almost 2 years



Hello hello! Hope all is well with everyone. David and I are having a grand time down here in Florida. He is finally really relaxing and looks much better. While I'm at work all day he is sleeping in, reading and playing with the computer and his phone. He has figured out a way of getting me the internet through the phone onto the computer which is awesome! Plus it works pretty quickly which is fabulous! Also it has been fun because for some reason David has decided that he would really like to learn how to cook (still obsessing with yummy sauces so if anyone has good recipes please send). So far this week he has learned how to cook pasta, sauté mushrooms, sauté fish (Tilapia), and make salad with homemade vinegrette. Starting off slow, but making good progress.


Last evening we celebrated our 2 year anniversary early as we are pretty sure we won't be able to get together for the exact day. We both looked super cute/handsome! And I got to wear my new earrings that I love!!! So our cute selves went to Ruth's Chris Steak House, where my co-workers had so kindly given us a gift certificate. It was soooooooooooooooooo delicious and the service was phenominal! Plus they have a great summer deal for two people which includes appetizers for both, entreés for both, shared sides (veggies) and shared dessert. Our meals were just superb! There was one appetizer we both wanted to try that wasn't an option so we splurged, mushroom caps stuffed with crabmeat. YUM! But, back to the options we picked from the 'Summer Celebrations' menu :). We both started off with the best Ceasar salad. Then for our main dish I had the petit filet and David had the Mixed grill which constisted of a 4oz filet, chicken stuffed with the yummiest cheese concoction and a crab cake. Both sooooo yummy! Plus the meat is cooked in a special broiler that goes up to 1800 degrees and then is served with butter on top on a 500 degree plate. That sizzle and smell is just divine! Then for our sides we shared the garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Both fantastic! We could only eat half of what was given to us so we brought it home. Then for dessert both our waiters strongly suggested the bread pudding so we shared that and WOW! it was just perfect! Plus with David's coffee went down beautifully! By the end of the meal it was 10pm and we were ready to be rolled out. [By now your mouths may be watering and let me tell you if that Summer Celebration deal is going on near you it is soooooooo worth the extra treat to yourself!] On our way home we drove by the beach and there was the most fantastic lighting storm over the ocean. We parked the car by the sea wall and just had a nice time relaxing with the windows open staring at God's amazing creation. Then it was back home where I went straight to sleep and David read (but of course Hunky Dumplin is sleeping way in this morning, lucky duck!)


So that is about it from us. Hopefully the rest of the week will consist of seeing a movie, going to the beach, swimming at the pool, relaxing, more cooking 'lessons', electronic funness on David's part, and just enjoying each others company. Let us know if you will be joining us soon! :)


xoxoxoxo,

Victoria and David
