Party-Time

Yesterday was one of those days where you are STARVING until you eat and then wind up overdoing it when you finally do eat!  Luckily, I was not alone in this… ;)

Bill & I went to a party yesterday afternoon that started around 2, since we both didn’t eat lunch we were quite famished when we got to the party… I started out with a Miller Lite, simply because there was no water!  Bad excuse, I know :)   Then we munched on typical party snacks like bruschetta (had 2 melbas with it), buffalo chicken dip (think I had 3 crackers with it), and bagel slices with cheese dip (had 2 and SO good)… They got the grill going and cooked up some Bubba burgers, hot dogs, and chicken along with delicious homemade salads… Here’s what I had:

Bubba burger with cheese + mustard, orzo salad, and pickle:

A short time later, they decided to bring out the desserts, there were so many to choose from, so I decided on half a Rice Krispie treat (for nostalgic reasons) and a ghiradelli brownie… Sorry for the lack of pictures, my memory card on my cell was actually full, so I figured you could visualize!  The desserts are what put me over the edge… I was feeling fine until I ate them and then I suddenly couldn’t move – ha… Here are some stand-in pictures:

Bill and I left the party around 5′ish and we had to run some errands… When we got back to Bill’s house, we went for a walk despite the looming storm clouds!  It started to rain on us so we darted back to his house in a hurry :D   Around 7:30, we both didn’t really have much of an appetite but knew we needed to eat something so we threw together some shrimp, cherry tomatoes, asparagus and penne with garlic, olive oil, basil & black pepper… It was delicious… My serving, topped with Parmesan, was just enough!

We settled in to watch a movie, National Treasure 2, and I pulled out some leftover watermelon that my aunt + uncle had sent us home with on 4th of July… It was SO juicy, yummy, and refreshing!

I wish I could tell you how good National Treasure was, but I honestly can’t because I fell asleep 10 minutes into the movie… Bill kept waking me up and joking around with me about missing the movie, but no matter how hard I tried to stay awake I kept dozing in and out – ooops!  Guess I was exhausted from the weekend!

    Oh heaven. Those rice krispies look amazing. I probably haven’t had those since I was a little kid.

    And the shrimp pasta dish looks to die for. I love anything that lived underwater!

    Mmm rice crispies–they do bring back so many memories, don’t they? Back when we were all kids and don’t even know what calories are :mrgreen:

    Ooo and now I’m craving watermelons! Those look sooo good…

    Yay for watermelon!

    I’ve not seen NT2, but I thought the first one was quite good.
