Our June started at a medium pace with some soccer rain-outs, a drizzly girls trip, and lacrosse winding down. Then we kicked into full-gear for Flag Day! J’s birthday! Father’s Day! Pool time! Last days of school, and end-of-year parties tired us out. It was such a full month and I’m a bit tired from the end of fiscal year as well.
Perfect Patty Melts were this year’s birthday burger and were a hit! The garlic Texas toast made them.
I had some Passion Fruit Bubbly cocktails that were so fun…which reminds me I’m due for a round of those!
We had Corn Relish on hot dogs as an ideal way to use corn early into the season before the peak!
July will be full of camps and swimming. Work should chill-down a bit. I have some plans to make cool sides, a pizza-redo, and maybe a new breakfast!
The Big Kid:
He had a fun end of year. He’s so undecided about fall sports and I wish there was longer time to think about it. I’m not excited to pack camp lunches unless he starts developing some more options of packable things! He had such a nice group for last day of school swimming.
The Littler One:
We went to see a ballet of Sleeping Beauty with light-up costumes. It was so fun – not exactly a must-see but a nice/entry-level way to go to a ballet. She had lots of classmates for her last day of school bounce house.
Goals for this upcoming year:
Year of replacements/upgrades! I didn’t think of one this month!
Restaurant Recreations – nope
Special ingredient focus – raw corn for the corn relish was unusual for us!
More fish – I need to get on these, huh!
What I’m reading – I read The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop and was enchanted by her dance background! I also read The Rachel Incident by Caroline O’Donoghue and found it creative.
