Anniversary Weekend

Scott's show last week was interesting to say the least. There is definitely a "metal scene" in Boise that I didn't know existed and it was fun infiltrating their group, if only for one night. We stayed out late that night trying to stretch out every minute we had with Scott. Now he is off to the far flung corners of the nation spreading his music where ever he goes. I can now honestly say that I enjoy watching my brother no matter what kind of music he is playing at the time.

Michael and I had our one year anniversary of dating and the two year anniversary of the day we met this weekend. I made his favorite Champagne Scallop Risotto for dinner and we celebrated at home with a bottle of wine. Last night we had Mom & Dad over for dinner. They will be in Indianapolis for Kathy's graduation next weekend over Mother's Day. We had an indoor clam bake that was surprisingly easy, and will definitely resurface next time I have to feed a lot of people quickly.

To try it grab a large stockpot and layer bay leaves, onions, garlic & shallots at the bottom... then potatoes, corn, salt & pepper... then mussels, clams and lobster (or shrimp). Top with pre-cooked sausage. We used a chicken & apple one that was really good. Poor a bottle of dry white wine over the entire thing and cover it on medium heat for 15 minutes until it is steaming. Continue cooking until most of the clams have popped open, about 15 more minutes. It was pretty good and extremely easy.

You know how when different milestones in life come up people will say that they can't believe that it's only been a {insert length of time here} yet it feels like a lifetime? At the risk of sounding cheesy I don't know what I did all those years without having MJ in my life and I can't believe I've only known him for two years, yet sometimes it seems like we just met yesterday.
I hope everyone out there had an amazing weekend.
