Today was Labor Day, but we didn't labor much! DH spent a lot of time on a call-out ticket that took two days to resolve, and that thrashed most of his weekend.
So, when our dear friend from the Metromess and his beloved Hairy Monster dog arrived yesterday, we simply took it easy. Burgers and sausages were grilled. Tasty beverages were consumed. And the Hairy Monster got groomed...lots!
First though, Monkey3, my dessert chef in training, decided to make the Ghirardelli Chocolate Crackle cookies. DH had found the recipe online that my mom had been raving about. It was simple enough. It was also insanely tasty, especially with my cuppa coffee at breakfast!
Then today, we headed out to the range for some fun. There were a lot of butterflies around. This one took a liking to our friend's rifle! It must've sat there for 20+ minutes, just hanging out.
Eventually, we packed up and headed home to cool off, and let the pups outside. All in all, a fun way to spend the last big weekend of summer!
We enjoyed a quiet weekend too. Those cookies look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool looking butterfly! Looks almost like a dead leaf. Do you know what kind it was? Were they all the same species? All we have in abundance are those pesky white cabbage butterflies.
