The Latest

It was so beautiful here last week- sunny and warm and so nice. This was the high for Thursday:



I got out the stroller, dusted it all off and got it cleaned up and we hit the road. Well, actually the sidewalk- I wouldn't take my baby for a walk in the middle of the road!



We actually took two walks that day- one in the afternoon and then Rob joined us for a walk in the evening. The lovely weather came to an end though the next day. It rained a bunch (A BUNCH!) Friday night, yesterday and was still going this morning. Unfortunately, sometime around lunchtime today, it started looking like this:



Ugh. Oh well- we picked up a couple of movies at the library on Saturday so we had those to watch. Rob picked Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and I got Send Me No Flowers. I couldn't get into his movie so he's finishing it now while I do this. I don't think he'll be too into my Rock Hudson-Doris Day flick so I'm planning on watching that tomorrow while he is at work.

One of the bad things about moving to a new place is that you miss the restaurants back home. Mainly it is In-N-Out and mexican food for me but I also miss Versailles' Cuban food in LA. Not that I got to go there a lot but a few times a year, certainly. I decided last week to make some Lechon Asado for myself since I have no trips to LA planned anytime soon. Using parts of different recipes I found online, I came up with a decent version of a Versailles plate of roasted pork, black beans, rice and fried plantains.



The owners of Versailles don't need to worry though- their Cuban food is still far superior. Except for maybe the black beans. I liked mine better actually. But it was nice to have something similar out here.

Rex is doing great. I wrote a whole other post just about him before I wrote this one and I'll put it up in another day or two. Until then, here is a picture of Rex and his mommy.
