Cooking never felt so good! Austin BBQ'd some chicken quarters with an olive oil lime sauce.
I did the desserts! It's that shortbread and coconut whip cream on our recipe page. How has coconut fat not won the nobel prize already just for being awesome? I found the best brand that stays true to the coconut... they don't de-fat it. Perfect for a thick coconut cream treat. I topped it off with fresh berries! The shortbread was infused with lime zest and flavor (put the lime in the coconut am I right?) So summery. Lime says summer.
And it was so good to see an old friend of Austin's!
We also got a surprise....
Hail the size of garbanzo beans, or quarters. This guy was in our house, so a bit melted even!
Juno..... was frantic when we came home. They exploded through the window and even broke our bathroom window.
Even when we carried her to the door window, she was still not sure what to make of it:
Hail in Wyoming is just a given. They've gotten baseball sized just two years ago. When you go up to Cheyenne, everyone's cars look like wiffle balls. In fact, people dive under gas stations and bridges (we dove under a gas station) just to avoid cracked windshields and pings in the aluminum. There were still tons of cars when we arrived home under our bridge. Our garden was covered.... it may have done us over. Our trees and lots of trees downtown got shredded. (All the leaves you see on the ground) We'll see.
My Carhartt jacket I have wanted for years came in the mail today! Dad gave me some Carhartt money for my birthday! (Thanks so much dad, it's the Sandstone Kanai Parka) Can I say it couldn't have arrived at a better time? I mean look at that cold backyard haha! Heat wave, whatever! Come here to Laramie!
(Just kidding, it's been deathly hot here too. Lots of thunderstorm activity.)
I got my name put on it for $5 because it is such a nice coat, you have to worry about it. So excited!)
And of course you have to pair it with the wranglers and boots ;)
Welcome to Wyoming, xoxo
