Dirty Thirty!

This past weekend was my husband's 30th Birthday. It was also his "Golden Birthday" since he turned 30 on the 30th. It was definitely a fun weekend of celebrating. On Thursday, our two friends from Las Vegas drove up to Utah. We never get to see Jess since we moved out of her house, so it was great having her and Nick in town.



Friday morning, I tried a new recipe to surprise Joel with for breakfast. The creation tasted wonderful but looked horrible. I will definitely cook it again but will roll them inside the crescent rolls instead of the way the recipe said. I also made a Hollandaise sauce but it didn't turn out well and looked like pure butter.

Egg Pinwheels:
6 slices of thinly shaved Ham
1 cup of Egg Beaters
Shredded American Cheese
1 Pkg of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

• Heat oven to 350.
• Scramble Eggs
• Spray a cookie sheet with Pam
• Lay the crescent dough flat on a cookie sheet
• Cover the dough with the slices of ham, leaving and inch of free space at one of the short sides of the dough
• Sprinkle the scrambled eggs evenly over the ham slices
• Sprinkle cheese evenly over the eggs and ham
• Roll into a log shape using the free inch of dough to secure it
• Slice into 8 pieces and arrange them on the cookie sheet
• Bake for 15 minutes

After Breakfast, I had to work for a couple hours but then we just hung around the house and played with the puppy. Friday night, Broke City played a birthday show for Joel.




All of his friends showed up in full force. The bar sold out and there was a line around the block to get in.


They originally were only going to play one set, but they ended up playing two due to the crowd which was a great surprise!

Saturday we went to lunch with Jess and Nick at a neat little place called Z'Tejas. Best queso I have found in Utah thus far! Big deal! When we got back to our house, we found a cake and balloons that his sisters had left on our porch!




He bought a Mac laptop from a friend a couple years ago but it has been having a lot of problems. I got him a new one that he will be able to record with while on the road. He was super excited :)

That night, a group of our friends all ate at Joel's favorite restaurant, David's Kitchen. If you're ever in Utah and want some AMAZING Chinese, this is the place!


We invited everyone back to our house for dessert and drinks after.



Joel invented a new drink for his birthday that consisted of pouring a shot of Jack into a beer. He called it the "Garth Brooks" .... "where the Whiskey drowns and the Beer chases my blues away..."

They also did shot relays....















Even Cleo came and hung out!


We only lasted til about 2:30am but it was still a WONDERFUL night!



And... we were cool like Fonzie!
