sunday may 9th

today we went in to visit my in-laws for mothers day. i really just wanted one thing for dinner, which were crab legs, so hubby stopped and got me some. we ate those as an appetizer, (we bought 2 lbs. and then hubbys grandfather has about 50 lbs. in his freezer so he donated 2 more lbs.) i ate them with some melted butter that i seasoned with garlic powder, salt and pepper. (fyi, unless otherwise noted i always use unsalted butter. always)

hubbys step-father makes a honey-butter chicken that is really good. i don't have an exact recipe, but the chicken (bite sized pieces of breast meat) is soaked in an egg and milk mixture and then dredged in seasoned flour. then it is fried in batches. after the frying, it drains and you serve it with a sauce that is just melted butter mixed with honey. it is really simple and really good. they served it with garlic smashed potatoes, salad and steamed vegetables. it was wonderful.

after we came home and got the kids down, i ran to the grocery store to get milk and came back with smores stuff, strawberries and ice cream. when i got back home hubby and i ate smores that i made by roasting the marshmallow over the gas stove.
