Though we didn't actually intend on celebrating being married for three weeks, today...we had a nice day doing stuff together. After breakfast (and using our new toaster), we drove out to the Antelope Valley Winery for the Farmers Market there. It was pretty small, but we bought some purple potatoes, eggs, avocados, cinnamon/honey almonds, and a couple of bottles of locally made wine. Afterwards, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond for some things because they will only let you use two gift cards at a time online. Then we made a stop at Trader Joe's to buy groceries for our egg-plant parmesean...and a new rose plant :).
After lunch, we did some more unpacking of kitchen stuff...and it's starting to look like a real kitchen, now. It's kind of exciting. We worked on that pretty much all afternoon until it was time to make dinner. Adam was super excited to get to use his knives and the new pots.
I was excited to get to open up more boxes to get out more supplies. We used my grandma's recipe that she gave me for Eggplant Parmesean, and I think we did pretty well. It tasted good...which is a good thing since we'll be eating the leftovers for a few days.
During dinner, we watched a John Clease movie on Hulu called "Wine for the Confused." It was supposed to give us insight to the flavors, how to taste, buy, talk about, etc...wine. We both decided that it didn't help all that much, but we did learn a few things that we didn't know.
Afterwards, we though it only appropriate to put our viewing into practice, so we broke out the rest of the Arbor Mist, Triscuits, Camembert, and some of the almonds we bought and watched another movie on Hulu. Beer. (We had a theme going). It was a movie that I felt we should have watched with other people that could appreciate how bad it was with us to make it more enjoyable :-p. I'm not sure what Adam's review was (other than they tried too hard), but I'd say it's safe to say that one viewing was enough.
Now it's time to sign off for the evening. We're going to church tomorrow at 10:30. We're going to try out Wayside Chapel Community Church. Adam has talked to someone there when we were looking for a house to rent, so we figured we'd give it a shot first. Until next time....
