When the weather in LA looks like this:
You have to seize the opportunity to pretend that it’s fall and order some overpriced Matzo Ball soup from the Jewish Deli… with a side of Bagel Chips, of course.
And on a dreary day, I am finding myself LOVING the Coldplay song Fix You… I’ve been listening to it all day. Just seems to fit.
On tonight’s menu: French Toast and Bacon! 
I made the french toast with eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Light, fluffy, crispy and delicious!
With Crispy Bacon. Mmm! 
Served with some real Vermont maple syrup that we got when we visited the Bragg Farm Maple House. 
Delicious! (PS I added Whipped Cream too!) 
It was quick, yummy, easy and fun. I’m begining to like cooking already!
Pastrami Sandwiches with Cole Slaw
Irving had his in “grilled cheese” form 
And at the baby shower yesterday I “won” this notepad that I’m going to use for meal planning. 🙂 
Thanks!
Til tonight….
What is it with men and babies that makes women go weak at the knees? Girls love when guys show a softer side and talk about tiny toes and cute little things.
Case in point… this is a conversation that I had with Irving this week after I sent him to Target to pick up wrapping paper for Ashley’s shower:
Irving: Just 2 rolls?
me: yep.maybe one baby roll and one roll that we can also use for birthdays in case i don’t use it all. does that make sense?
Irving: I found 2 cute ones.
me: ok cool
Irving: One is baby boy. The other is baby generic.
me: can we do one baby generic and one that could pass as baby and also adult birthday?
Irving: Just baby today. Sorry. Too cute.
me: hahahaha ok good to go then
Can’t argue with that, right? Awee!
PS… these were the two wrapping papers:
Ashley’s family lives back on the East Coast, and they wanted to be part of the Baby Shower action too! So her sister and mom organized a ‘Skype Shower’ where everyone could “see” Ashley open up all her gifts!!
It was SUCH a cute idea. All the gifts were shipped to my house so they would be a surprise! And they even sent us plates, napkins, balloons and favors that matched theirs! 
The cookies I made last night! 
Look at this tower of gifts!!!
Before the shower, Ashley came over early and made me homemade crepes! (Learning how to cook, remember?) 
It was so easy! 
The key is the nutella and the whipped cream (obviously!) 
Heaven!
Oops…should have been on the Baby Shower plates! 
The mom-to-be!
And then the skyping began! 
We even got to “see” the cake! 
And play all the games! 
Sisters! 
So many presents! 
Lots of wrapping paper! 
Group photo!
It was SO much fun to share this day with you, Ash! Can’t wait for the baby to get here!!
