Memorial Day Grilled Dinner



We don't normally buy stake to cook at home but since Brad had a day off and it was Memorial day today so we decided to splurge and get stakes from Wholefoods and grilled out. We also grilled zucchini and corn. My favorite way to grill corn is Japanese way and it is to brush soy sauce while it's on the grill. This reminds me summer festivals in Japan. mmmmm so good!

I marinated stakes with Orange juice, Soy sauce, Rosemary, thyme and garlic.

Apricots from garden

It's the time again to pick apricots.

Every year we had some competition between squirrels and us for apricots.


I don't know how many the squirrel and birds got but I got 26 today. I couldn't reach higher so I'll ask Brad tomorrow for more!


It turns pink where the sun kissed.


It's golden and orangy inside. yum!

Heavy Cream Pound cake




I had never made pound cake with heavy cream before so I tried it. It came out super moist and incredibly soft. I think I found the best recipe for pound cake.
