weekend moment (wife edition): sibling sunday dinner






2.17.13
sibling sunday dinner
a first for us fraga siblings (skyler, not a sibling but practically is for me since we're so close in age and all, was also there. gordon was away having his own weekend moment full of winter camping and toyotas.)
i wanted to try some new recipes. crockpot beef carnitas tacos, and salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. beef carnitas was easy. cheesecake was time consuming and i realized halfway through making it why my mom has always made no bake cheesecake. but i'd make it again (not anytime soon though) because it was so good.
my brother and sister both brought an appetizer, side dishes, and fancy bottled drinks (sangria!)
add some interesting dinner conversation (more like question/answer between us and my brother. his life intrigues me. he's so open about talking about it too. i love getting to know him better and understand where he's at right now. it's good to have him with us again.)
plus some leftover foil turned airplane which provided endless after dinner entertainment.
we ended the night with just the three of us (skyler = teenager = friends = left early...i remember those days...) watching the perks of being a wallflower (which just might be one of my top 5 favorite movies i've just decided).
