Yummy!

I was watching "Big Head" (aka Giada) earlier in the week and caught the best dessert recipe. Its Chocolate Hazelnut Ravioli. (<-Recipe link)
After the show I located the recipe online and printed it out--hoping to have an excuse to make it soon! Thankfully some good friends invited us over for dinner tonight and since it was so nice to get out of the house and see friends, I felt compelled to make something new for a treat. (I didn't bother with the whole mint-leaf-decoration-thing...because I am just not that Martha-Stewarty)

As we all gathered around and ate the treats we concluded that the only way to make these better, was to add some coconut ice cream....or possibly some toasted coconut to the Nutella before frying. (I'll have to let you know how either of these work out the next time I make it.--- Knowing me, it won't be too far down the road)
Anywho---if you try this recipe out and like it, let me know!

"Big Head"?! That's funny! I just don't trust any chef who looks like they eat once a week during filming.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
