Yummy!

Marcus' best friend Mike is out of town at some training thing for work. Since we normally all go out to eat together every Saturday, Nina invited Marcus and I over for dinner this evening. She makes the absolute best Chicken Cordon Bleu in the entire world!

She gave me the recipe years ago yet I've never tried it. I must give it a go here soon, although I'm sure mine will never quite taste as good as hers.

Thanks for a wonderful (as usual) dinner, Nina!

Coloring Books These Days Suck

When I was young, I absolutely loved getting a new box of crayons and some coloring books. I spend hours being entertained by that activity. I remember once that I got in trouble in 2nd grade for "coloring wrong." What kind of teacher tells you you're coloring wrong? I was fortunate that my mom always had craft supplies and drawing paper around, too, to encourage our creativity. As I was being nostalgic one day, I stopped to take a look at the selection of coloring books at a local store to see what kind of subject matter was now popular. I was shocked at how horrible the quality of the drawings were in addition to the books being really expensive. It made me a little sad.

Made me start to think that maybe one day, I'll release a coloring book. I can't do worse that what is already out there.
