January Grilling

Last night we finally had a night alone to relax, make dinner, and watch a movie after a crazy hectic long week. So here's what happened:

First I made this:

Pretty proud of myself, had no help at all, just decided I wanted to make a badass fire. This may be something that I have to repeat. Many times over.

Then we had some of this:

Which is probably one of my favorite beverages ever. Always goes excellently with the above.

Cole and Phillip enjoyed their wine while reading some blogs:

 After plenty of relaxing we decided to finally start making dinner (at 9pm, our usual). I chopped up some eggplant, green pepper and added whole mushrooms in a bowl. Drizzled them all with EVOO, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and minced garlic. Into the fridge for about 30 minutes. Then we took chicken breast, pineapple chunks, peach chunks and the marinated goodies and made skewers!

They were gorgeous before they hit the grill:

 And of course after my master grilling guy cooked them all up they were even more amazing! We enjoyed them with some mac salad and another glass of vino. There were TONS of leftovers which I will happily enjoy today and it was awesome to have this yummy summer-tasty meal on the last day of January. We will be repeating this! 

This (a blast from our past) was fun to cuddle up to: 

If you haven't seen it, you should probably add it to your netflix immediately. Pretty awesome. It was a great night together and much needed since today I am spending my Monday off doing taxes, Fafsa, and studying for lab practical. Whoot. But at least the boyfriend made coffee before he left for work.

Enjoy your afternoon!
