Weekend in Tyler TX

Sunday, January 31, 2010
I had a great weekend hanging out with Natalie in Tyler, TX. The drive from Houston to Tyler took about 4 hours but was scenic, winding through parts of East Texas I hadn't seen before. On Saturday we went to Canton, TX (35 miles from Tyler) for a craft show that takes place the first weekend of every month. There was a neat little candle shop where we had fun sniffing around...
Check out the name, Country Bumpkin. I bought this one.

I didn't buy 'em, but how cute! Miss Roma...
Before our dinner date.
This was a bottle of wine Nat saved from our Sonoma trip last year!!!
I got a nice surprise when I got home-- Ross went to the grocery store and planned meals for the week! For dinner, Ross made an EXCELLENT cod dish (from Cooks Illustrated), sauteed lemon garlic mushrooms, and browned butter balsamic asparagus.
Cook Method: Seared then finished in the oven at high heat

Brown butter balsamic sauce, to be drizzled over asparagus.

Final Plating
Ooey gooey choco chunk cookies for dessert.
