Green Thumb

Brad gave me an Easter lily plant last year. But the poor thing hasn't been doing so great recently. I think I may have overwatered it (but the pot doesn't have a drainage hole either so it's not entirely my fault.) We also needed a real pot for the orchid Brad gave to me for Valentine's Day. So, we took a little trip to Home Depot. While there, we decided to get a basil plant and a strawberry plant. I'm excited to have fresh basil to cook with and the strawberry plant has lots of flowers on it so I'm hopping that I'll at least get a few strawberries. We'll see whether or not I've got a green thumb after all.

As American as. . .

I tried making fresh apply pie on Sunday. It turned out pretty good for being my first time, however, there were things that could have gone better. Like the filling was kind of runny and the apples weren't quite done. The recipe I used was from a cookbook that we received for our wedding and it's been a pretty good cookbook. But I think I'll try a different recipe next time. Anyone have a good one or any tips?

Lookin' Sharp

Brad had another great concert on Saturday. Craig Jessop came to guest conduct it. After the concert the Men's Chorus took a picture. I happened to be in the right spot to snap a couple pics as well. Can you find Brad? He's on the front row, fourth from the left.
