Thursday 13: Thirteen things you might serve at a LOST series finale party

In the spirit of anyone planning a party for the LOST series finale, I have created a list of 13 things that you might want to serve. Enjoy!

1) a bucket of chicken in honor of Hurley
2) pretzels and peanut packages like you might have enjoyed pre-crash on Oceanic Flight 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles.
3) Jack Shephard's Pie (nice play on words don't ya think?)
4) CupKate Austin Cupcakes
5) Wild Boar, preferably roasting on a stick over a fire on the beach- that is, if you are able to hunt and kill one
6) Jin and Sun Dim Sum (OK, I know they are from South Korea and Dim Sum is Chinese, but it sounded cute! )
7) Ben Linus burgers
8) seafood- lots of seafood
9) Dharma Dip- bonus point if you can serve it in a dish in the shape of the Dharma symbol
10) Fish biscuits- but first lock your guest in a cage and make them push levers in a certain order to earn one.
11) Sayid Salad
12) Sawyer Ford Fried Feta
13) Papayas and other tropical fruit made into fruit salad like Charlie used to court Claire- that is before he died and before she stopped combing her hair.

garden

Everything is out of the little plant nursery and into the place where it will grow. Here are pictures of what I have growing. This water hose was a gift from sweet Charlie. Mr. D., being the hero in every great story, installed it for me right next to the garden. I gave each plant a good watering tonight so they can all settle into their new homes nicely. Enjoy the pics!





I have two herbs growing that I have never used before - cinnamon basil and pineapple sage. They both smell incredible!

The letter of the day : B

It seemed that the letter of the day was B.

BABY

Charlie stopped in on her way out of town this morning. Here is a picture of the little lady in her hat ready to work in the garden. Here is a picture of her showing off her cute outfit with ladybug pockets. I love a ladybug! Luckily we found her a little candy money to put in her pockets. She kept one pocketful but gave the other back to me to buy Mr. D. some candy with.

BABY FOOD

I also gave Charlie a little of this- since she has now started eating baby food!

BRADY

The reason Charlie got to pop in was that Brady needed his shots. Charlie's dad is an awesome vet not only making house calls for Brady but also bringing Charlie and Maggie for us to play with too!

BREAKFAST

After the Lee's went on about their road trip, Kate and I went out to Breakfast at Waffle House.
BRIDE

Then the bride and I went to see a possible venue for her wedding. Here is a super cool pic that I wish I had been taken without the flash!!

BIRTHDAYS

Mr. D. and I went to two birthdays today. I forgot to snap a picture at the first because I was too busy stuffing my face with my favorite thing in the world--- CAKE! I asked the birthday girl's Mom to send a pic- so maybe I can add one later.

Here is a pic of Birthday girl number two.

Yes! It's my sweet Alice. I can't believe that she is 5 years old.

BLOOMS

After Alice's party, Mr. D. and I window shopped at a local nursery. The blooms were beautiful! I just love Spring!
