A few notes from the weekend..

- it's impossible to find the natural paper with embedded leaves/twigs/nature things.
- red robin charges way too much for a burger.
- carolina coffee always rises above my ridiculous expectations.
- tux fittings suck the life out of you.
- the lowes foods on 64 has the best beer selection in Asheboro.
- wisdom teeth are the devil.
- wheelies-shoes are sitting on the right hand of the devil known as wisdom teeth.
- everyone should follow the slow roma tomato roasting idea that Tom Gray posted

Everything else was a blazing success this past weekend though. I spent some free time putting together a template for the wedding programs... and we're getting everything in order. The marriage license is in hand, all we need now is to go through the motions and have everything signed.

As for the tomato roasting thing...

We played host to a few folks Sunday afternoon and I love putting together finger foods. I remember seeing the post that Tom had out and wanted to give that a try, so we popped a few slices of tomato in the oven. Instead of any sugar, I added two cloves of roughly diced garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. They hung out in the oven for about 4 and a half hours instead of the full 12. While they did their thing, I pulled together a basil infused mayonaisse, toasted some sea-salt and rosemary bread, and sliced some polly-o mozzarella cheese.

They turned out to be, effectively, two-bite french bread pizzas.

Good stuff.

so with everything said and done, the wedding is a little over 2 weeks away... and our to-do list is shrinking daily.

...gah. I need a drink.
