Personal Chef

Jessica is taking a cooking class at school.  I have had the opportunity to try some of the items she has made.  The best one so far was chicken quesadillas.  She made this for our whole family for dinner last week and let me tell you, it was delicious!!!!!  She also made chocolate zucchini carrot muffins and they were good too, she has also made carrot muffins with cream cheese icing.  Oh so good!  I am now waiting to try her homemade jam that was made today.  I have to wait until tomorrow to try it as it has to set for 24 hours, 24 hours too long.  I am so looking forward to what else she will be making.  Maybe if I am lucky, I will get one night off a week from cooking.

Girls Day Out

Saturday started  out earlier than normal  as Tamara, Mikaela, Jessica and myself were heading to the US with Mikaela's friend Paige and Paige's mom Christine.  We started our morning with Starbucks, so yummy!!!!
We then stopped in Lynden at the Hilltop Restaurant for breakfast.  The food was very good!  From there we continued on to Bellis Fair Mall.  We had a blast going through just about every girly store they had.  After we had enough shopping at the mall we headed to Red Robin, yes the US has Red Robins.  It was there that we shared a plate of nachos and then enjoyed our lunch together.  What a great day we were having!
We then decided to go to Burlington to check out the outlet malls there.  Before we went to the outlet malls we stopped at Kohl's first.  By this time Jessica was not feeling too well.  She just wanted to go home.  I felt bad for her, but I was also feeling bad for Christine and Paige as we went with them in their vehicle and now our day together was now coming to and end, or was it.....  We took Jessica home, but the rest of us girls decided to finish our night off in Abbotsford with a movie.  We arrived at the theatre to find out we read the time wrong and our movie didn't start for over an hour.  So, being girls we went and had dessert before going to the movie.  By the time the movie was done and we arrived home it was after midnight.  I enjoyed spending 15 hours of the day with Paige, Christine and my girls. We are thinking of doing it again, but this time, book a hotel in the states and then go shopping.   A day well spent with the GIRLS!!!!
