Lunch for the week...

My new fav...  Orzo Salad!  I was at Vince & Joe's a few weeks ago and this salad looked divine...  Well, once I got it home and took a couple of bites I found that there are green peppers in it.  Thankfully I found out before I ate one and my afternoon was spared.  I have a slight allergy/aversion to bell peppers and a few other kinds.  It's not fatal or anything, but it makes for an uncomfortable few hours.  Brian ended up eating the rest of it, but I did figure out what was in it and was able to replicate it perfectly!  Here's what to do...

I have been making a big batch up early in the week and we have had it for our lunches, my dad was even able to have some for his lunch a few times last week and gave it the seal of approval...  Perfect to take to a BBQ (friends and family, you know what I will be bringing this summer) picnics and potlucks.  We are totally diggin' this salad right now!  I am quite proud of myself that I managed this on the first try!  Not really, it's lemon vinaigrette for heaven sake! 

Weekend Views...




A few quick pics of the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge for you on this bright sunny Friday morning...


Mac and Jamie checking out the beach.... I don't know what Jamie was looking for, but Mac was most definately looking for cows!

Jamie's Birthday was on Monday, so GABby (Great Aunt Barb) made him a giant b-day cookie...






Uncle Brian and I could not leave the Bon Jovi concert without getting this guy a t-shirt for his 8th Birthday!  He sang Bon Jovi and played air guitar all the time with he was little...  "I'm a cowboy...  on a TEAL horse I ride....."  He couldn't say his s's!  It was priceless and he still loves Bon Jovi! 

Hope you had a happy weekend too!
