(last) weekend update, and two other posts as well

I had a great weekend. Let's just face it. On Saturday morning Chris E and I walked down to the farmer's market and our pals Danny and Sarah met us there... we had some breakfast and did some shoppin'. Later on Danny and Chris E went to the Real (re-AL) game and I decided to drive down with them and to invite myself to sushi with the parental unit down is SLC! My parents have been on a bit of a sushi kick lately and have really been bragging about all of their escapades. It was a major treat to go out with them! Yum! I get MAJOR sushi cravings and this hit the spot! We followed the sushi with some delish gelato. I was SPOILED!! It was awesome to spend some quality time with my mom and dad. After all the yumminess we went for a short drive and got an awesome view of the city! Thanks folks for a great time!

Possibly the best family meal EVER!

My darling sister Lisa-Face and her fam were in town over the 24th so my family pulled out all of the stops to make a pimped out Asian style meal.... I won't tantalize you with all of the details but I thought I would share this picture of (just) the appetizers. Jason, Chris and I refer to this as pre-dinner and we all agree that it is the most charming Baker family signature move. The photo doesn't do it justice.

Too much of a good thing

Here is what happened: craved red velvet cupcakes. Three bottles (yes three) of red food coloring and a lot of flour and sugar later.......

These were pretty tastey.....Careful though, all that food coloring caused me to poop red for a week. SORRY for the over share, I'm just sayin'.
