Mindi's Birthday

Last week was Mindi's Birthday and so to celebrate we went on a sunset sailboat cruise!  It was a lot fun for sure!  Mindi was actually sick on Valentines Day and her birthday, but we made the best of it.  Matt had a philipino meal catered on valentine's day and we watched a few great movies. On Mindi's actual birthday we had Kwaj's finest dining and had some friends over in the evening. Overall it was a really good week! Here are some pictures showing the sunset sail.


Here we are getting ready to head out


The sunset was really nice that evening and here is another picture of us just after the sun has set!


Here is Mindi on the boat out on the lagoon!  The wind was really blowing that evening and it was a very, very pleasant sail.


Here is a picture looking down the boat right after we started out.


One other thing of note from the last few weeks was this friendly sea creature stinging Matt's leg!  It was pretty uncomfortable for several hours, but not to bad.

In other news, we have purchased our plane tickets home for the summer and will be getting back to the states on June 10th!

Greek Food!

We are housesitting and enjoying the use of a kitchen right now, so here is a blog showing some of the Greek food that Mindi made!  She got several ideas from the blog www.theshiksa.com and put them to use as she made hummus, tzatziki sauce, greek roll-ups, greek pizza, and a greek dill dip.  It was fabulous.  Matt got the best end of the deal...getting to eat it all!



Mindi made all of this for the sunset sail we did for her birthday!


Here is a picture of the greek pizza she made!


Greek pizza, greek chicken salad, rollups, and 2 types of hummus!  It was delicious!!!


Here are some more pictures of some of the things she made!



We have missed having a real oven and kitchen in the BQ's so this was a lot of fun!


Here is the peach sangria that she made, which was awesome!


Matt got in on the fun...he sprinkled seasoning on the fries!


Here is our finished meal and we sure enjoyed it a lot!
