1-2-3 Hockey: 15 of 45

Schnookie promised to make me a super secret snack at some point during my birthday bash blow-out (which you may have noticed gets celebrated for more than just one day, heh). I wondered, “What could it possibly be?!?” Turns out, after we discovered the one source I had around here for scallion pancakes changed ownership and now sucks, Schnookie decided to find a recipe and make them at home. What an awesome surprise! Our regular Chinese place doesn’t serve them so I had been facing a scallion-pancake-free life. Not anymore! Woo!!! These were delicious, by the way. Schnookie seems to think they can be improved on and while I’m certainly more than willing to eat more test subjects, I also love them just the way they are. — Pk.

I requested deep dish pizza for one of my birthday weekend meals because we haven’t had it in two years. It was such a September-y thing last time we had it, and tonight was no different! — Pk.

Today was a day of conflicting traditions. On the one hand, it’s Pookie’s birthday, and we always take a picture of birthday cake to post on IPB. On the other hand, it was the plowing competition at Howell Living History Farm, and that’s always a big photo excursion day for us. In the end, as you can see, the plowing competition won out. It was a perfect day for it, too — sunny, breezy, and not too hot. And then we chased our outing with a lot of sitting on the couch watching tennis, stitching, and playing Super Mario Galaxy (one of Pookie’s birthday presents).

Today was my annual “Birthday Vacation Trip To The Farm” (usually Boomer and Schnookie go when I’m at work on Fridays), so it was only appropriate that the farm would be offering up something special: PUMPKINS!!! PUMPKINS!!! PUMPKINS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ::runs around in excited circles:: — Pk.

We were way too busy today cutting into new quilt projects (Arnold’s Attic and a Christmas kit we picked up last year) and watching the US Open (we’re still in stitches over Roddick’s loss to our beloved Janko) to take more interesting pictures than this portrait of fun new threads.

Schnookie took a half-day from work so we could meet Boomer in Princeton for lunch. No vacation lunch is complete without a delicious sangria!

Mondays are so brutal. This was an especially cranky one, what with only one half of us going on vacation starting tomorrow. So here’s one of very few pictures we took today, of the begonias in the urns out front.

Today was the first day of my traditional last-week-of-August vacation, so Schnookie met me for Secret Luncheon. Few things beat Vacation Secret Luncheon, that’s for sure. Today’s topic of discussion was how Emily on Make It Or Break It should just go to Dumbledore already! — Pk.
