So yesterday, I had the day off. I did some errands around town and promised the wife I would make dinner since she had to work that day and she usually makes all sorts of yummy things. So i decided to do something easy and made sloppy joe’s and fries.

I diced and sauteed some onions and garlic then added 2 lbs of ground beef and browned it all up. After that I added half a jar of salsa, half a jar of spaghetti sauce, and salt and pepper. I then let it simmer until it had a nice thick consistency. Below is the result.

Yummy Dinner

My wife can cook. If you’ve seen me in person, you know how well my wife can cook. But if you asked her she would deny it and say that others are better than her and she really isn’t that good. She really is much better than she believes. The other day she got fish at the store and cooked it up with some garlic rice and asparagus. It was pretty epic. And it looked as good as it tasted.

County Fair

Yesterday we started off the holiday weekend by heading to our local county fair. We went with friends and had a great time. We got fair food, walked around, played some games, saw some exhibits, heard some music and saw some fireworks. All in all an awesome day with friends. I brought my camera, as if there was a surprise there, and got some pics I was really happy with.

Fireworks.

A stitch in time…

Well I’m trying to add to my photo resume and things that I can do at least tolerably well. So I took a few shots of the valley before we left Howe’s Caverns the other day. Tonight I tried breaking in GIMP and stitching them together. Its slightly off and I need to mess with it some more, but not a bad start I dont think.

Weekday Adventure

So the wife had the week off between summer school and starting the regular school year. Since we really haven’t been able to have a vacation together this year, we decided to take a day this week and hang out just the two of us. It was a great day and we went to Howe’s Caverns in Upstate NY. I had never been so we decided to go out. It was a great day and was good exercise for us both. Not a ton of the pics came out where I was happy with them, but I liked this one.
