Summerfest at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, NC

We have a wonderful amphitheatre in Cary, NC. It is one of my favorite things to do in the summer! It has a lakeside location inside a Piedmont forest with its internationally renowned design. You are invited to pack your own picnic and a bottle of wine...

The North Carolina Symphony performed last night.

Isn't the structure interesting.

Relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful music.

Looking forward to next Saturday night already!

Breakfast for Dinner

I love breakfast food, but usually don't have the time or gumption to make it in the morning. I think it makes a great dinner!! Tonight I made savory waffles with poached eggs & bacon. These waffles were sooo good. Here's the recipe for the waffles....

Savory Waffles

4 eggs, separated

2 cups milk

2/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

1/3 cup minced fresh flat leaf parsley

2 1/2 Tbs. minced fresh chives

1/2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/4 ts. salt

Preheat waffle maker on medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, butter, cheese, parsley, chives and rosemary. Over sheet of waxed paper, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to yolk mixture, whisk until smooth.

In another bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using rubber spatula, fold one-third of whites into batter, then carefully fold in remaining whites.

Pour batter into waffle maker. Close lid, cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Serve waffles warm with poached eggs and bacon.

Serves 4-6 (I am freezing leftover waffles)

Memorial Day

Hope you and your family are having a wonderful Memorial Day! Let's remember all the brave men and women that have lost their lives defending our wonderful country.

Don't You Love Getting Something FREE

My Mom sent me a email with attachments for coupons for these two items; the coupons were for FREE items . I was a little unsure at first with the coupons, since they had no expiration date, but still printed them. I took them to the store today, and I almost did the Happy Dance out the store! Yes, I got them both FREE, almost an $8.00 value :) Jerry was very happy to see the Velveeta, he loves anything cheese! Thanks Mom for the coupons!!

I also wanted to share another good deal... I had a $.55 cent coupon off and my store always doubles up to $.99 cents... These are the cutest BUNS, and only 100 calories each (if you care)!! We enjoyed them tonight with Carolina Bar-b-que and slaw!!

Bromley - Both Man's and Woman's Best Friend

We love our dog!

He does a good job of keeping us busy...

We get a lot of exercise by walking him, he loves his walks!! We also get plenty of exercise by vacuuming the house, that beautiful coat does shed, but he really is worth a little extra cleaning!

Enjoy your day, I have a walk to go on with my best friend!

Peony Bouquet

My Pink Peony bush is full of blooms. I just love this time of year...

I wish you could smell these beautiful flowers!

Don't they make a pretty bouquet.
