Fun With Wedding Registries!

We are having the best time registry shopping for the wedding! It's so much fun picking out things that we will be using in our new home. And contrary to popular belief, guys have fun with registries too! Dan was excited about pizza pans, blenders and ahemmm... a Nintendo Wii. Ha-ha.


Shopping at South Coast

Here are a few things on our list!

KitchenAid Stand Mixer, 5 Qt. Artisan in Pistachio
Which someone already fulfilled! Big hugs and kisses to the mystery person! I have a suspicion one of my Aunties got it for us! So excited!


Aebleskiver Stuffed-Pancake Pan
I can imagine making these little puff pancakes on Sunday mornings with Danny <3





Wusthof Gourmet 12-Piece Knife Set.
Droool...



 Blendtec Home The Professional's Choice Total Blender
A.K.A. The "Grandpa Blender" my grandpa has one of these and I steal it from him whenever I need it for recipes. It's the best blender in the world -- it can even make hot soup! Fancy pantsy!

I Love Wedding Video's

One of my guilty pleasures is watching wedding montages. They make me cry! Just today, Daniel walked in and saw me watching these videos and said, "Ahhhhh not again! Why Brittany, whyyyy?" I can't help it! They make me so happy and excited!

so
I thought I would share them with you...

Adventures With Food Trucks

We finally made our way over to the food truck gathering last Wednesday! Dan and I ate at The Burnt Truck, The Grilled Cheese Truck and Chunk N Chip. It was all A+ food, a fun time and definitely something I would recommend.



The Burnt Truck

Cheeseburger
Angus beef, American cheese, grilled onions, avocado spread
Fried Chicken
Buttermilk fried chicken, garlic potato spread, country gravy
Fried Bologna
Garlic aioli, mustard, crispy onion strings
Spam and Eggs
Soy aioli, fried quail egg, nori strips

 
I was skeptical about the spam and quail egg, but I'm glad we got it! It turned out to be one of my favorites!
The Grilled Cheese Truck
Dan ordered an American cheese on white bread with caramelized onions; I ordered gruyere cheese and fresh basil on white bread.
Chunk N Chip
We split a Blu-Laventine. Snicker doodle cookies with blueberry lavender ice cream.

Our Weekend Trip to Catalina Island

On our way! Mmmm gold fish.

We took the Flyer from Newport at 8:00 and arrived in Avalon 2 hours later.


The Catalina Island Casino Ballroom opened to the public in 1929. The entire top floor of the grand casino has the largest circular wooden dance floor in the world.


 Dany, Evan and Daniel


Avalon is a car free city...golf carts rule the streets. Specially licensed vehicles are allowed to travel the interior of the island, where 200 buffalo roam. Too cool.









Even big company's have to downsize on the island. I think they're cute.




Good morning!


Nice Tinkerbell towel Dan. It looks good on you.
