Saturday in Auburn with family, Champagne Sunday, cauliflower hash browns?

 Saturday morning we left home about 0730 to head over the hill to Auburn, CA. We were meeting Russell and family along with Eric for lunch. 

Back in December when Jacob came home for the holidays we loaned him our 2008 Jeep Patriot so he'd have something to drive. Now it was time to get it back and it worked out perfectly on a Saturday. 

We had a great lunch too at Old Town Pizza in Auburn. Before you know it though it was time to head out as we don't like to drive in the dark and it was still a few hours back to Carson City where we were spending the night.

Saturday night πŸ’–



Sunday morning we were awake early and left the Days Inn around 0745. We got to Betsy's Big Kitchen where we were having breakfast. Perfect time to get there as there weren't many people there yet. Weekends the place is packed from breakfast on! 

We headed home after and of course it was Champagne Sunday. We had an open bottle but he couldn't find anymore! Oh no! πŸ˜‚ We switched it up a bit and he enjoyed a couple of bloody marys. It was definitely a good day. Nice to relax and have basically nothing to do.

He did find 3 more bottles in a garden cart in the garage.
I knew there had to be more somewhere! LOL. 


That doesn't last too long for Ken as he's always finding something to do. 

Yesterday I saw on FB a woman was grilling on her Blackstone and mentioned cauliflower hash browns. Hmmm...so I made some and we had them for breakfast this morning. Not like hash browns, but delicious. Ken told me I can make them anytime I want. Only 2 carbs per serving. Win!

Ken's been out getting more wood chopped. Good thing we have a log splitter LOL. Now he's working on changing out our electric jack on the Mansion. It stopped working on the way to Arkansas last time. The last two days have been beautiful here. That changes tomorrow. 

Tomorrow we head for Carson City for an echocardiogram for Ken in the am. Then it's Total Wine and Walmart for some groceries. The day and the month will be gone by then. They just go way too fast! 

Have a good evening. Barbecue and a fire out by the outdoor kitchen for us. Does it get any better? Oh yep a glass of wine and a beer! 🍺🍷

  3. I agree with Nancy, we all talk about the cauliflower crust, Riley and even looked at the Walmart we go to but couldn’t find any. We will try a different one.
    I think the Champagne Sunday thing may be catching on other places too. lol.
    Good luck Ken.
