My thumb is getting greener

My garden is growing along very well.  

The peas and green beans are really popping out

The herbs are starting to come up

and the tomatoes are starting to sprout - I'm going to have to do a lot of thinning on these!

and in real Kitchen Krap news, anyone want an August Rush poster or some sweet hawaiin rolls?  

I was doggie/house sitting all last week for the adorable and scooter riding Button.  She is a very sweet Wheaton Terrier.  So happy to see whoever is at the door at the end of the day!

I went to a party this weekend (50th Birthday party for one person / going away (to London) party for a family and one of the guests made this fabulously "cheesy" 70s style cheesy pineapple.

I got these fabulously yummy Wasabi Kit Kats from someone and they also had Green Tea kit kats and Rum Raisin Kit Kats.  We only get one flavor! 

And finally - I made this diet coke chicken last night, but I used Diet Vernors (ginger ale from MI that I grew up with) which was really good.  I ate it with some quinoa that I already had made, otherwise, I would have had it with rice or pasta even.  http://myslimmingworld-jo.blogspot.com/2011/06/diet-coke-chicken-1-x-can-of-diet-coke.html
