Well, not really today, but it has been cold here lately.
To update...our next door neighboors had their baby last Wednesday. She was smaller than they thought she was going to be and she is so cute!! Anyway, things are good next door!
Question: What in the world is the difference between jam, jelly, preserves and marmalade????? At the market today Travis and I got so confused just trying to get some jelly for a sandwich. I know I could google this, but it would take too long and I don't want to put that much effort into uncovering this mystery. SOOO...you tell me. PLEASE. What in the WORLD is the difference between jam, jelly, preserves and marmalade?? I know my sister will have something to say on this, as she knows many trivial things and something tells me she knows all about jams, and jellies and what not. So, Kay, what is it?? For the love of Pete, someone tell us.
Yesterday was my birthday! I am now closer to 30 than I am to 20 (at 26). Oh well, it doesn't feel any different. So Friday my good friend Alison threw me a fun party at her parent's awesome house. I wish I got pictures of all of the rooms that she decorated, but I didn't so you will have to settle for a description. The bar was set up so fancy with wine glasses and pretty decorations. There were Mai Tais and Strawberry Margaritas and wine and pretty much anything anyone wanted. We had yummy appetizers and sipped our drinks by the fire place (it was cold outside that night). Then we moved into the awesome dining room for our yummy mexican fiesta. After dinner we moved out to the fire pit in the backyard to roast marshmallows and make smores. YUMMY!!! It was so fun!! Here are some pictures from the dinner portion:
