    Our yard sell happened this past Saturday.  Aside from  a few complications and miscommunications, the sale went smoothly.  It was a nice day and lots of friends stopped by.  As planned, G & Ts were drunk in honor of Maria’s day of birth!

    In total we pulled in between 250-300 bucks, woohoo!  There’s still a lot of items left however, so we’re now having a FREE SALE.  Meaning: come take whatever you want.
    I had to work during the morning part of the yard sale and an anonymous photographer (named Andrew) took some nice snaps from the sale:

  • ice cream and outdoor movies!

    A few weekends ago, the members of la casa let me host a belated birthday party at the house.  the party featured homemade ice cream and an outdoor movie, projected on the side of the barn.

    john e, kannan, and mac brought an old-fashioned hand-crank ice maker. everyone got to contribute a little bit to making the ice cream:

    we made earl grey ice cream, honey ice cream, chocolate-rum-raspberry ice cream, and avocado ice cream. nora’s boys brought sprinkles and ate a few bowls of mostly sprinkles with some avocado ice cream on top:

    you can find the recipe for the earl grey ice cream here.  *NOTE: i always cut the recipe in thirds. using 24 egg yolks for one recipe is just insanity.

    We also stapled butcher paper to the barn and projected the egyptian movie ‘the band’s visit’, a very slow-paced comedy that i would highly recommend.
