Oh my! So far behind I'm not sure of the best way to catch up. Ignore the past and start with today? Do a sweeping post that covers everything from the last several weeks? Or should I cover each week in its own post? I think I'll just get started and see where it leads!

| DragonCon 2013 |
To begin with...Dragon Con! I went to my first sci fi/fantasy convention over Labor Day. Atlanta's Dragon Con is a gathering of over 50,000 science fiction and fantasy fans. My husband went last year (see the fun things one can do after retiring) and convinced me to go this year. We've already made plans for next year and we're looking around for other Cons we can make!
This is just a small taste of the craziness! We participated in trying to seize the Guinness record for the most number of Star Trek uniforms in one room. We didn't make it but there were over 900 Trekkies gathered, one of them 3 months old!

| No Duck Chicken Breasts with Peaches |
French Friday a month ago was Duck with Peaches. I cooked it, photoed it, but didn't blog it! I couldn't find duck breasts so I used chicken and it was really good. We shared it with good friends around their pool. I love summer and eating by the pool! This is a great dish for carrying to friends. Just be careful not to over cook the meat (which I did just a tad) since it will need to be reheated!
I also took Tzatziki which was excellent with fresh vegetables. Our garden had produced an abundance of squash and cucumbers. Now our garden is producing nothing!

One of my sweet daughters in law had given me these delicious little chocolate shells for Christmas and I finally used them. Wow! Super easy and super delicious! I must find more! I filled them with chocolate mousse from Whole Foods then topped with a little cream, a raspberry and some pistachios! I still fantasize about them!

I'm getting frustrated! Why won't Blogger let me go back to the left margin? Errrrrr! Moving on.......That's enough for one post. Think its time to get a cup of coffee and relax for a minute. I have a love/hate relationship with technology! Who doesn't, though? Right?
Well I ended up not blogging what I thought I would so had to go back and change the title of the post! I WILL get caught up! Maybe not this morning though...
This post participates in French Friday with Dorie. Follow our adventures as we cook our way through Dorie Greenspan's Around My French TAble.

Fantastic. I love catch up posts so much that I'm thinking that might be the way I go after Seattle... just a monthly 'catch up' of all the FFwD to date. Its just fun to see things that way..at least it is for me.
ReplyDeleteHow fun you went to the convention. I went to several Star Trek conventions as a teenager...this was back before the movie franchise was ever reserected, much less TV. Such a kick. Now they are so huge! Whatever your interest it is just a gas to be in the same space with so many people who are as passionate about your passion as you are...
Speaking of which... :)
Blogger can be very frustrating. Sometimes, all you can do is walk away.
ReplyDeleteI love catching up :-) See you next week...
