vicktrola print and design: Easter weekend and a whole lot more

Once again I have returned after being MIA for a week or so. Along with large quantities of homework to do as the school year concludes, the weekends have been filled with many interesting events around town AND interesting weather.

Let's take my Delorean back to 2 weekends ago.

Of course it rained the saturday after I got all of my grilling gear together. So I sufficed for indoor burgers.

You can't go wrong with bacon, beef, scallions, mozzarella and homemade jalapeno ranch.

I think I've decided not to post food pictures on day's that I haven't had lunch.

My stomach growls in concurrence.

All in all these burgers made a weekend of mass homework much more enjoyable.

The following weekend my folks were in town.

We're all pretty big fans of the bacon wrapped jalepeno popper. Here are a few uncooked.

Sizzling fresh out of the oven is the best way to consume but I'd eat them cold too. (They've never lasted long enough for me to find out what they taste like cold)

I also had a little Thai curry, chicken and rice noodles with Abby and Eliza. It turned out pretty tasty.

It tasted even better on Abby's blue and gold plate.

Real silverware = another bonus.

That friday night I had a little potluck with my friends Abby, William, Willy and Elise.

These apples would become part of my asparagus dish.

We watched this movie to conclude the night.

Toasted apples and walnuts in olive oil is one of my favorite simple flavor combos.

It was nice that we actually had some sunlight that day too!

Adding a little bacon on top of the asparagus really completes the composition.

And tastes delicious.

Because everything was so good I really only got photos of the aftermath. This was a robust salad supplied by Abby. Delectable dressing complements of this place.

Here's the ham I baked with a mixture of this, this, and this, for the glaze.

Sunday morning I had a couple more buddies over. My friends Matt and Amy, my neighbors Josh and Dylan, and my Mom and Dad. It was another potluck style dining session. The quiche went so fast I only thought to take a picture after everyone but me had finished their piece, and I was already to the crust.
