This weekend was exciting for the Millers.
The show was amazing and the dance party was fun... but we were the lame married couple that left at 12:30! We like our sleep too much to stay out until 4 am.
Saturday night we had our second Halloween event and since I had spilled wine on my outfit and also didn't deem it appropriate for a house party, I had to come up with a second costume. My adorable husband chose to go as Charlie Sheen's character from Major League (Rick Vaughn). He went all out with a Vaughn jersey, baseball pants (that he made me add red and blue ribbons onto), the exact replica of his glasses, and even the zig-zag haircut (which he made me do for him - talk about pressure! I will keep you posted on how his haircut is received at work on monday!).
The obvious choice for me was to dress up as and indian since Rick Vaughn plays for the Indians. Everyone thought we were so clever... funny what impresses people!
The party was fun because it was mostly people we didn't know and are always excited at the chance to meet new people. Especially when these people are into playing flip cup and spontaneously breaking out into "we are the champions" upon victory. Although we were the youngest people there, we still were the first to leave the party at 12:45. We are either really lame or very responsible.
Sunday meant laundry and grocery store and doing one of our favorite things... trying a new fancy recipe! One of the only quality meats (grass fed, free range, no hormones) at our grocer today was rack of lamb. We decided to be adventurous and go for it! I found what appeared to be the perfect recipe on allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/roasted-rack-of-lamb/Detail.aspx) with amazing reviews. Ryan tackled mashed potatoes for the very first time and he nailed it (he added garlic, fresh thyme, and truffle oil). We roasted asparagus in the usual fashion for our other side.
It was an amazing meal with the perfect wine and the best way to end our weekend. It may just be my new recipe to impress people with!
yay blog! and your costumes are so cute! i wanted to be pocahontas if i had dressed up this year.
