Labor Day at the Rivah!

Is the day over yet?! I am looking forward to spending my long weekend at my in-laws Rivah house in Mathew's County this weekend. I love being there. I always describe it as a time of forced relaxation. Their tv only has a few channels and there are no local hangouts, with the exception of karaoke at Donk's. Our weekends there usually consist of relaxing by the pool, playing with the dog in the Rivah, sitting on the porch, and eating exorbitant amounts of food. As beautiful as it is there I think we all get caught up in the food more than anything else.

I'll start off by saying that I have total kitchen envy. My mother-in-laws kitchen at the Rivah has enough food and equipment to feed an army! I won't even mention how clean it always is to boot (except after I've finished baking something). I have grown to love the Rivah kitchen, especially because I have learned invaluable cooking tips and recipes there.

Hopefully, I will remember to snap a few shots of the expected food this weekend (crab cakes, grilled pizza, pies, cakes, stuffed french toast.....!!) Maybe I should take a pair of stretchy pants with me and pack the bikini in the bottom of my suitcase, yikes!
