Lazy Days Of Summer

We had a great weekend and hope you did too.

I had worked Friday night, so of course, Saturday was pretty much a wasted day as I slept until about 5:30. We had invited my parents and Sean's dad and girlfriend over for dinner for Sunday.

Our whole dinner could be called "Dinner Ala Edna" as everything was made from her recipes! (we keep bugging her to come out with a cook book)

We had brisket, creamy corn, creamy mashed potatoes, potato salad and chocolate cake made from scratch. Of course it was all fat free~not!

Edna made the cake and I made all the rest. We have had Edna's brisket several times, and had wanted to make it ourselves, but with beef being as high as it is, we haven't done it. Price Chopper had a heck of a deal, so we couldn't pass it up.

We are hoping to find some great meat deals as we picked up a "like new" food vacuum sealer at my parents church garage sale today.

I'm working tonight, (on my dinner break~yum, carrots!) and Sean was supposed to try and seal some corn on the cob we got from his dad to make sure it really does work.
