Anniversary Weekend Fun

After 17 years we still like food, fun, knitting.

Food at home and our favorite place, Yarn was bought, wine drank, naps taken and family returned from out of state.

Anniversary Dinner

Tuesday was our 14th wedding anniversary.  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  We believe in making the most of our anniversary and celebrating it in little ways over the course of September through the first week of October.  But on the night of our actual anniversary we did have a really nice meal at the local Indian restaurant that we were taken last week by our friends. We tried several new dishes this time.

Onion Bhaji-my favorite from last time

Gluten Free Bread (Naan but they call it something else)

Bombay Paneer

Chicken Coconut Kurma

Delicious Rice

Kheer

This was the most delicious meal and now I can't wait to go back.  We did have a chuckle as we had the same waiter as last week but this time he told as about the gluten free bread, which was heavenly.  He did apologize for not telling us last week.  We immediately text our friends about it and they went up there today and enjoyed it.  I think I can talk hubby into going for it soon.  Mom is always up for an adventure and so is Dad...so maybe one day soon! 

The weekend

Yesterday was our 12th wedding anniversary. We basically took the whole weekend for ourselves. We started with Friday night at our favorite restaurant. We slept in Saturday and then went to the great basin fiber fair. I was very picky this year and got some worsted weight for a pillow and then some sock blockers.
Mr80grit got me some delicous gluten free sugar cookies in flower design. Very yummy( I did share with him as they are his favorite cookie).




We had dinner with my parents again at our favorite restaurant that night which was a lot of fun.


Sunday was a quiet day but we ended up finding another place with gluten free pizza. This is a place that we used to eat at all the time before I was diagnosed. They just add the pizza within the last six months. It is very good!

My Friend's Contest...

I have a blogger friend that I have been reading since January of 2007. She started her blog in Nov 2006. In honor of her blog anniversary she is having a little contest/campaign, which I think is really cute, go check it out here

Saturday Update

Well as this is a knitting blog I thought I would post some of the knitting I have been doing. First I finally cast on some socks for the hubby, hopefully I will have them done by the Sunday after the first day of Autumn so that he can wear them to church with his crocs. Yes, he picked out the yarn himself. It is great, not too heavy and very, very soft. It is Tofutsies. I am calling them Toasted Autumn as it have maroon and yellow-orange with black. They are really fun to knit!


I started a shawl back in July for my friend's birthday this next week, the 19th. She is one of those awesome individuals from the seventies with the flower child accent to her clothes. I wanted to do something a little wild on colors that someone would wear and immediately thought of her. It is made from Noro Sock yarn. I love the colors in it. I hope to finish it this weekend so that I can block it this week!

This was the last project I did for myself. Again some half socks which I love. I used leftover Jitterbug yarn from my birthday socks from last year. I am really happy with the results.


Last but not least was the awesome anniversary dinner that we put together. Dry cured ribeye steaks, baked Idaho potatoes, green beans. We sat out on the patio and enjoy the evening along with the food. It was nice and quiet, no obnoxious server or other customers. Just us, toasting our marriage, our family, especially MommaD whose birthday it is today and Cimarron Boy's that was thursday. We have friends that share our anniversary but have been married one year longer. It still amazes us that it has been 11 years! WOW!
