I hope every one had a nice Easter weekend.
We went to a new restaurant we’ve been meaning to try for a long time. Barnaby’s Cafe in the Montrose area. It is instantly the new fav. Never mind the rainbows. The food here is awesome. And huge portion sizes. I’ve gotta find a copycat recipe for the cumin vinaigrette. Yum, I’m craving their salads right now. Fernando had to endure the wrath of Diane as I had a monster headache both Friday and Saturday night. I guess I’m not pleasant to be around when I have a headache. Too bad that happens all too often.
We went to a farewell party for some friends of ours who are moving to Utah. We are so sad to see them go. They were one of the few families at church who own a house by us and are non- students/residents. Which means they were supposed to stay for a long time. Our heart aches every summer when our good student friends move on to start their residencies or further education. Which means we lose a lot of friends and get to meet a whole lot of new faces fresh from BYU. Very few friends have decided to permanently settle in downtown Houston. Actually I can count them on half of one hand. If they are going to settle in Houston, they usually move to the burbs.
We headed to Hermann Park Sunday afternoon (along with the rest of Houston) and enjoyed the beautiful weather that we’ve been having here lately.
I made a paint chip garland. (hung it after Easter, but such is life these days).
For a good salad recipe, go to thebestrecipesofalltime.blogspot.com & see Craisin Avacado Salad with Spiced Almonds. I loved this salad! It was a good mixture of sweet, spicy & crunchy (with the almonds). And the candied almonds have cumin in it. Great combo.
Oh, they are just so, so, so adorable!!
