DONUTS!!!

So one of my goals this year is to try a new recipe a month. So far i am doing well and David is contributing both by eating the recipe and by giving me some. Here is one he wanted to try. They are Guinness Donuts. Yes Guinness is his favorite beer and for his birthday i am trying a Guinness Cake so stay tuned!

They were delicious!


Geo Caching

So we had to get out on Feb 29th and geocache at least one cache. I don't remember if this is the one we did or if we did this earlier in february. We had several warm days in February that we got out and did some caching. Our goal is 100 caches this year...i think we are around 15 we have some work to do this summer!
This was actually a tree trunk that i thought was cool and no the cache was nearby on a stop sign but we had to get a picture!





Another great resturant

Last week in the middle of a snowstorm i meet Corissa for dinner. I thought the place was so cute i would share. Plus as you can tell we had the place to ourselves. We got like 3-6 inches of snow and her and i drive out for dinner! crazy we are!




 I forgot to take pictures of the food but it was good!

the letter W

kim came to town for a long weekend visit and we did lots of fun stuff....one of them was get our W off the list. We went for appetizers at the new restaurant call... Whiskey Six.

David had to explain so i will share with you what is so interesting about Whiskey Six in these parts. Apparently during prohibition Canadians would make Whiskey and drive it across Lake St. Clair into the US in a car. Sometimes they would hide bottles in the door and other parts, as to not get caught. That is why there is a car in the middle of the restaurant in the ceiling! Here are some pictures of the restaurant and the back of the menu explains it better than i can.
