July Four + Chinese Five Spice Chicken

We spent our first 4th of July together as a couple at a free concert at the Cary Ampitheatre (a wee bitty version of something similar to Wolf Trap).

We got rained on and missed fireworks. But the best part was a new recipe I tried on chicken drumsticks. Its now a favorite for Danny and I. Its got a killer "kick" to it but it gets dipped into a creamy cilantro sauce. SO GOOD!!

WARNING: There's some SKIN showing in some pictures!!

Danny rented a house for us at Duck, NC and it was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach. Weather was amazing. We had a wonderful time. Started a mean game of gin rummy that lasted all summer. Yes, I won. My score was over 8,000 points.

We would get up and head to the beach by 8:30 and stayed until a little past lunch. Water was so nice. Got to go parasailing......TOO FUN! And surprisingly quiet and peaceful once you're up there.

Beth was traveling thru and met us for dinner. That was a blast!

Anyway, my hubby did PERFECT for spoiling me on our honeymoon. This was the first honeymoon for the both of us. : )

I'm Back

I know, I've been MIA for 3 months. The longer you go without blogging, the more you think you will get back into it..... Well, the summer was crazy fun and I will post various stories/pictures to get you all caught up.

Here is a picture of me and my new personal trainer. Since gettin married, I have put on a couple of happy married life pounds....
