Weekend Recap

It's hard to believe the weekend is over already!  They always seem to go by way too fast.  We had so much fun though.

Friday we went to Rosie's in Ferndale, and then watched Hangover 2.  While some parts were a little over the top, it was pretty funny :)

Saturday was a day full of cleaning and errands.  We went to a friend's house for a wine tasting party at night, so I spent the afternoon getting some food ready.  We had so much fun!  And bought way too much wine :)  The guy was a little pushy for our taste, but I guess this is how he makes his living.

I made caprese salad bites and these little chocolate covered grapes. SO good!  Both were a huge hit.  I was hoping for some leftover grapes, but unfortunately, they were all gone.  Oh well, I guess that means everyone loved them :)  Here's the recipe, SUPER easy.

Chocolate Covered Grapes

-Red or green grapes (seedless)

-1 cup white chocolate chips

-1 tablespoon crisco

-Chopped peanuts

Melt chocolate and crisco on the stove (make sure to use the double pan with boiling water in one, and then the chocolate and crisco in the other so as not to burn the chocolate).  Dip grapes in chocolate and then in the peanuts.  Place on wax paper to cool.  Refrigerate once chocolate is set.

Caprese Salad Bites

-2 pints cherry/grape tomatoes

-Fresh mozzarella

-Fresh basil

-salt and pepper

-Olive oil

-Balsamic vinegar

On each toothpick, place one tomato, a piece of basil, and a piece of mozzarella.  Once in the dish you'll be using, sprinkle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper.

And the aftermath...The tasting started at 4pm.  We decided to go to a local bar after.  We called it a night at about 11:30pm.  Us old folks just can't handle drinking early and staying out late anymore.
