French toast, pork ribs, and a pineapple cocktail

We've been taking pictures of stuff Kevin and I make for at least two years now, and I definitely have my work cut out for me with this blog. I'll start with the most recent pictures, since they're fresh in my memory: yesterday's brunch of French toast with strawberries. The delicious raisin walnut bread is from Gold Crust Bakery, which always tempts me with its ridiculously amazing smells when I walk to the gym...


Before teaching, Kevin spent a while preparing pork ribs and he created his own spice rub of salt, garlic salt (we didn't have garlic powder), black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, paprika, thyme, sage, brown sugar, and Old Bay. Then he made a delicious potato salad with bacon and cheese. AMAZING.

We went on some errands this afternoon (on the way to Harris Teeter to get more food to cook tonight), but before we left, Kevin surprised me with a delicious cocktail he created, with fresh pineapple, lemon, and lime juices, and his homemade vanilla vodka. Great for a hot, humid day like today!

First taste

The semester is winding down -- or rather, it's getting super busy before it suddenly ends. I'm hoping to share lots of Kevin's wonderful culinary creations, but now I only have time for two quick pictures. Here is the wonderful brunch he made for me today -- bacon, eggs, and hot flaky biscuits from scratch!



And here is our very FIRST lovely, beautiful, juicy strawberry from our garden! I love spring :)
