Shrimp Alfredo and Double Tomato Bruchetta

It took me almost a full week to realize that the wine on our counter was "Train" wine...Train, as in the band I saw in concert earlier in August.  "Soul Sister" is a track on their album "Save Me, San Francisco."  EDIT: Train actually founded the "Save Me, San Francisco" wine label!  Although their Pinot Noir was a bit sweeter than we expected (it didn't go too well with our meal), I'm excited to try their other wines.  http://www.savemesanfranciscowineco.com/wine.php

DOUBLE TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

One of the yummiest appetizers I've ever eaten.  A huge "thank you" to our friend who made these beauts and brought them over!

We added a small can of water chestnuts and peas, plus shrimp.

Home for a Week: post #1

I've decided to use my blog as a photostream of sorts (not that I don't do that anyway, now that I think about it...) while I'm home for the week.  As usual, Cadee is my favorite subject, although I'll be sure to get some bachelorette and pre-wedding shots too!

we have lots of cucumbers here
