Rainy Days & Stealing Vegetables

Robert and I survived the first week of class! Waking up at 3 am makes the days feel like they never end, yet, they do; and Fridays become a much more special day of the week.
Friday we had the perfect afternoon. We finished with class by 11:15 and decided to take a break from studying. It was raining, and by raining I mean POURING. We opened the window, ate soup, watched Psych and cuddled to our hearts content. {without feeling guilty about not doing homework and having to go to bed at 8 pm}.  Yes, it was the perfect rainy day afternoon. We also made it to the temple. Did I mention? Best.Day. Of. the.Week.

Saturday morning we slept in till 5:30. By 6:45 we were standing outside in 50 degree weather waiting for our Bountiful Baskets. Haven't heard of it? Well, you should probably learn about it here . My family back in Vegas are big BB people, and how I have missed it. Robert and I love produce, and really, I mean we are obsessed.

After bountiful baskets we decided to go to my sister Natalie's old apartment and steal all their produce from their garden. Okay, so we may or may not have had permission, but I still felt a little guilty. Natalie and Mark tended to this garden for so long and they moved unexpectedly to Vegas- we didn't want all that produce to go to waste. Pretty sure they were the BIGGEST zucchinis I have ever seen. Out of control.

 props to Nat & Mark for being pro-gardeners and letting us reap the reward

Saturday, Robert had a little domestic blood running through him and decided to make waffles, bake bread, AND clean the house. {yeah, Greek god}. 

When we first started dating I introduced him to change-your-life-bread by Jim Lahey and bought him the cookbook for his birthday. Haven't heard of the "No-knead" method? Prepare for your life to be changed by clicking here. {its an article by my cooking hero Mark Bittman, and if you are feeling adventurous, just click here}. In Lahey's book My Bread, he uses the "no-knead" method for a million kids of bread {hyperbole}, including Peanut Butter & Jelly bread.

On said Saturday Robert decided to make this Peanut Butter & Jelly Bread {since we are both obsessed with PB}. 

Imagine the best PB & Jelly sandwich, in a piece of bread. Once again Mr. Lahey has changed our lives.  

Happy Sunday from your favorite newlyweds in Rexburg!
