Jackson and I went on the annual North River Church father-son fishing trip south of Eutaw on Saturday. We had a wonderful time. On the way home, Jackson said, "It was a great day!" I think he caught some of the best fish out there. All in all Jackson caught 25 fish (18 bream and 7 bass). Anything over 2lbs we had to throw back, but we still had plenty to keep. After fishing all day, we fried the fish with hush puppies, fries, and onion rings.

Egg-actly what I had been wanting...

My wonderful husband bought me an egg poacher!! Now I know to many of you this sounds like a strange gift, and honestly, I have no idea what made him think of it when he did, but I LOVE poached eggs. They are my favorite! None of this boiling, scrambling, omelet crap, just give me a plain old poached egg on wheat toast.

I must say though, poaching isn't an easy task. It's not exactly an item your going to find on the menu at the Waffle House, but every once in a while when we venture out for breakfast, I'll find a chef who knows what he/she is doing. As for my kitchen, the poacher is a wonderful addition. I've been making them in a sauce pan, using salt and vinegar- the two man problems there being that I never get the water to vinegar ratio right, and the egg white never stays "round and pretty." But now, thanks to my 9 inch, stainless steel, Belgium poacher my eggs come out perfect every time!

Here's to hoping all of you find as much joy in your cooking utensils as I do!

A-Day-- Roll Tide!

Saturday was A-Day, and while I wasn't too impressed with how our team looked, we still had a great time tailgating and hanging out with friends!I am sooo ready for football in the fall!!

IZZE SPARKLING JUICE

I am LOV'N some IZZE!
These days I'm especially mindful of what I'm putting in my body, so instead of my usual white chocolate mocha at Starbucks, I opted for a new healthy refreshment- Izze. They're great because they contain no refined sugar, no caffeine, no artificial anything. It's just natural fruit juice and sparkling water!
