Thank goodness it is Friday

I know I have been really bad about posting, but I do have a good excuse.  Samuel has had a fever for two days straight.  He didn't sleep at all on Wednesday and Thursday night and was up both days at 5:30 am.  I am so exhausted.  It is now 8:30 am and he is still asleep.  I think his lack of sleep has caught up with him.  If he isn't up by 9 though, I am going in to check on him because he has never slept in that late.  It is kind of overcast here and still kind of dark out, so that might be a reason why he is sleeping in.  

Even though I have been exhausted, I still have found time to bake another delicious dessert.  I was watching the food network on Tuesday and Giada made this delicious looking Chocolate Chip Walnut Cupcakes.   They were very good.  I didn't put walnuts in them, because I am really not into cookies or cupcakes with nuts.  So being as tired as I have been, the cupcakes have really helped with my motivation to do things; like walking from the couch to the kitchen and back again.   

Jonathan and Laura came over for dinner last night.  We made Marinated Flank Steak (thanks for the recipe Amiee):

You marinade 1.5 to 2 pounds of flank steak for at least one day or more in this marinade:

1/4 cup soy sauce (I use low sodium)

3 TBS honey

2 TBS white vinegar

1 1/2 TSP Garlic powder

1 1/2 TSP Powdered Ginger

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1 bunch green onions, chopped.  

We used Bison Flank Steak last night and it was delicious.  

I also made an Oriental Sesame Coleslaw to go with it and it was so good.

Even though I was out of control full after dinner, Laura made a homemade apple pie for dessert.  Like I said earlier, I have been craving fruit desserts lately and this was the best homemade apple pie I have ever tasted.  I am trying to decide if I should allow myself to eat today considering how much I ate yesterday.  Who am I kidding, I will probably eat just as much today too.
