So, yesterday morning we went on a little adventure. Breakfast at the local cafe (sorry, no pics, but I had a lovely Belgian waffle and hash browns), and then we headed to pick up a needed necessity, dog food. Or so I thought.
The husband was driving and he made a side trip to Sears. Sears, of all places, what could we possibly need at Sears? I was told to stay in the car and wait. What fun. Little man and I played peek-a-boo, FOREVER, he never gets tired of that game. I swear, 25 minutes later he finally walks out carrying a large box.
This was in it! My new Dyson vacuum!
I've been waiting patiently for this vacuum since December. Long story short, our vacuum took a crapper at the end of last year and we have been using the Shop-Vac (of all things) since. Have you ever vacuumed with a Shop-Vac? It's not fun. It takes 3x as long and you have one heck of a backache by the time your done.
Needless to say, I enjoyed vacuuming the house yesterday (twice), and it was quite amazing what this thing picks up. And pretty gross.
For dinner I threw together an easy marinade for some chicken tenders that we grilled. Olive oil, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, garlic, and fresh basil from the garden. They soaked in that bath of goodness for a few hours in the fridge, before being thrown on the grill. With a side of leftover tomato & feta pasta salad, the meal was complete.
And we snacked on some of the husband's deer sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. This is one of the only ways I'll eat deer...
Yum! This marinade kept the chicken very juicy and flavorful. Try it!
I'm hoping it clears off today and the sun comes out in full force, as little man and I have a play date...and last but not least, Happy Birthday to my brother - you old man!
