What a Day!

What a great day today was. I got my hair done! Yay! Just a few highlights for summer.

But more importantly, our good friend, Shapard, welcomed his first born son into the world today! We are so excited we got to visit and meet this precious bundle of joy! My son, Rowan, 17 months old, went to the hospital with us. He wanted to touch the new baby so bad, but I wouldn't let him. He really didn't know what to think. He was pretty well behaved during the visit, I was proud of him!

So we were pretty hungry after we left the hospital and we decided on Whataburger. I guess because we do not have one near us, and ..... we really like it (guilty)! Rowan loved it! We ordered him a kid's burger and a really really watered down lemonade (he couldn't tell, he was just happy to have a big boy cup) and he just though he was the biggest boy ever! I will post some photos from our trip.

Ok, so we had something like these at a wedding last weekend. At the wedding, they had bacon wraps and inside was duck, cream cheese and jalapeño pepper. I think they were cooked on the grill... they were AMAZING! If you have never tried duck, it is pretty tasty. I do not eat it often, but my favorite place to get it is at Zea's in Mobile, AL. Anyway, last night I made boneless BBQ ribs in the oven (with my homemade BBQ sauce I learned from my Nana :) And today, I saw we had everything in the fridge to make a snack like the duck appetizer we had at the wedding (but I substituted pork for the duck). So, I sliced some of the rib meat and spread cream cheese on bacon slices. Then, I placed the rib meat on the bacon, along with a slice of jalapeño pepper... I then rolled them up and (normally would stick a toothpick in to hold it together, but I was out) and stuck them in a 450 degree oven. I left them in there for about ten minutes, and then turned the oven to broil for about 3 to 5 min. They came out crisp and delicious! I figure you can make the same appetizer with any meat... I am thinking venison will be good, chicken, duck of course as well as pork. I think we will serve these at every BBQ we have now! They are so scrumptious!
