Is anyone else getting whiplash from the weird weather? Today it was 80 degrees here in Tennessee! What the hell? At the beginning of winter we had record low temperatures and now we're getting record high temperatures? I'm burning up and sweating but it's winter!
Anyways, even though it's been hot, my husband and I have enjoyed the break in the cold. My husband grilled out on the porch and made some amazing BBQ ribs. The store had blue potatoes on sale which was neat. I've never seen blue potatoes in our stores before so we got a bag to eat with the ribs. I made mashed potatoes, some asparagus, and spinach dip. It was a great meal and so colorful!
I love blue mashed potatoes.
Spinach Dip
I used the warm weather as a chance to tire my little one out. She's so wild these days! I've really wanted to take her on some outings to parks and other outdoor places. It was nice to take her outside to burn off some of that energy. I learned afterwards how much she loves ribs! She's got 6 teeth now and I can feed her pieces of meat. She also loves asparagus which is awesome! I'm planting a ton of it this spring so we can have lots of asparagus to eat.
My husband @magic-sasquatch has been obsessed with getting a chainsaw. I tried to talk him out of it but he was hell bent on getting a chainsaw. Apparently it's been a life long dream of his to own one. He ordered one off of Amazon. He was at the store the other day and saw little tiny plastic chainsaw toys for toddlers. He got our 16 month old a chainsaw too. He and our daughter unboxed them together when his arrived via UPS. Our daughter wasn't impressed. She's still too little and the chainsaw is a bit too big for her hands. He put hers away until she is bigger. Then, @magic-sasquatch went crazy cutting down trees in the yard. He's been gunning for one tree I love and I've had to stop him from chopping it to pieces.
I'll be happy if the weather cools off for a little longer. I'm not ready for it to be in the 80s. That's summer weather. I want a nice comfortable spring first.
