Off to the quilt show

This year I am really going to try and be good and focus on buying patterns and/or kits, not more fabric. There is no fabric shortage in the Rosenbaum house, and I need to get going on some Christmas gifts so here's hoping there's some good finds to be made!

Happy Birthday Rob!!

And thanks to the Rushers for a great weekend - new places (Bonneville Resort), old favs (Edgefield!!) and classics (corn maze @ Sauvie Island)!! Counting the days until Disneyland . . . .

Happy Birthday, Kev!!

We're glad you got your ice cream cake - and still have the made skills on Wii volleyball!

2 more cukes, and a lemon cucumber

The veggie tally for Rosenbaum Garden 2008 keeps going up. I can't even count the tomatoes at this point - here's hoping they all come in at once. Josh and I eat them like grapes and can't wait to get home everyday to see if any more have ripened yet!! Fingers crossed for continued good weather and for some time this coming weekend to make up some pesto this weekend to get the basil back under control!

vegas, baby!

Then, the basil is gathered and washed.

And finally, with the assistance of a new mini-chopper, some pine nuts, olive oil, parmesean cheese, and salt and pepper. . . pesto for our dinner with Jeff & Melanie plus two jars of pesto for the freezer. YUM!


Pesto!
