Spring has arrived

Tonight we made some beautiful food.

And I would like to share it with you.

FIRST DRINKS:

No editing tricks from Picnik, just wanted to give it to you straight. 

Crushed ice. Citrus Vodka. Splash of Newman's Lemonade. Splash of TJ's Orange-Strawberry-Banana. Squeezed Lime Wedge. Orange Zest.


FRESH SALAD:

Yellow Pepper & Orange Pepper (both grilled). Mango. Green Grape. Sweet Tomatoes. Champagne Vinegar. Fresh Squeezed lime juice. Sprinkle of your favorite seasoning.


THE MEAT:

We bought the pre-marinated Hawaiian thin cut meat from our local Trader Joe's and grilled it up! 

MEAT [AFTER]:

So ridiculous delicious and easy. Three minutes per side. Mmmm. 

DINNER TIME:

All the pieces combined. We also had perogi's but they didn't turn out too great. Note to all---frozen perogis are a no-go. Boo. It was great. And because I didn't enjoy my perogi; I just went back for more meat and salad. Delish! 

All of the bright food and the BBQ fired up really makes it official that it's spring. Even here in Oregon. Oh, and I guess that bright shiny thing in the sky helps too. But we really aren't used to it. And we try not to GET used to it. ;) 

Here's one more sign that it's Spring.

I am thinking this may make a gorgeous next tattoo. 

Hope your Tuesday was bee-u-ti-ful!
