Zuchini Bread and Vegetables

We went up to Marshall's dads house this past weekend and when we came home we brought some vegetables with us. One of them obviously being zuchini. As soon as we got home I started right in grating the zuchini to make zuchini bread. I have never made it before so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. I wasn't sure how much batter to put into each bread tin but I figured it out. I put in the batter and then it was time to put them into the oven for an hour. Once the time was up the sides ended up being a little more well done then I would have liked but there was nothing I could do about it because I needed the middle done. I had a piece last night and it was so freakin good. It tastes just like my moms :) That must mean that she did something right because I am starting to be as good a cook as she is!!! She will be so proud. I even got Marshall to have a slice. He says that he likes it but he could just be saying that to make me feel good. I don't care because I could eat both of them by myself because it is so freaking good. I really hope that he does like it but not much I can do if he doesn't. I have had two pieces so far today :)
I have enough in the freezer to make a couple more batches. I am so excited. I am going to make Marshall's family some when we go up next to see if they like it. I am not sure if all of them will try it or not but I will be there to eat some if they don't want it all :) Although I do hope that they like it. We will see what happens.
We also brought home some corn on the cob. We had some for dinner last night and it was so freaking good. I loved them. I wish that I had made two for me instead of one but oh well. It was really yummy. I love the summer because of corn on the cob. We are going to have the rest of what we brought back with us tonight with wings that we have had sitting in the croc pot so that is something that we are both really excited about.

Tradition

So today is July 4th. My family has a tradition of all getting together and sleeping outside together and then doing a big breakfast in the morning. It is always a little hectic when we all get together like that but it is also a lot of fun. They called me last night at midnight my time...needless to say I was alseep in bed but woke up and called them back. It was great talking with all of them and I miss them like crazy.
I talked with Raiven and she is so cute. She told me that she ate some apricots ( I hope I spelled that right ) I was jeaouls because I love them. And they are green so that is when they are the best :) I told her that I have been trying to get Marshall's dad to plant and tree so that I can eat them out here...It was funny.
With Marshall gone I will probably just walk around the mall a little bit to kill some time and to get me out of the apartment. I was thinking about doing a bbq hamburger or something on the grill but then again I have nver grilled anything on my own in my life so I am not sure how it will taste. I am still thinking about how smart that one is. I really want to go into a diner that we have here and have some french toast because I am craving it so bad. I also might wait for when Marshall is home to do that but we will see if I can hold out that long :) I have also thought about blowing off work tomorrow and invading Marshall's family for the weekend...okay I probably wouldn't do that without Marshall because I think that he would be mad if I went without him becauase I know that he would totally want to go if he were here. Oh well that would have been fun because they always have something going on...Maybe next year :)
