Hippocratic Oats

After an afternoon at the mall trying to get Vicki’s computer fixed, that’s exactly what we were calling the Mac whisperer! Vicki and I ran a bunch of errands on Friday morning (trip to Price Chopper and David’s Bridal) and then headed over to the Mac store. Not only did this guy put his ear up to her laptop and tell her what was wrong, he installed a new hard drive, transferred all of her files and had it all up and running in about 2 hours.

We also decided to take the easy way out with the dough situation, and used a Boboli crust.

Hmmm pizza!

Needed some veggies…thus the salad.

Also added feta cheese, cranberries and sliced almonds.

I also whipped up some of my Brie Bites. Starting off with a package of Pillsbury Grands, I separated each of the biscuits into thirds and placed each one on a mini muffin pan.

Next, I filled the dough with a little brie cheese and some raspberry jam.

They went in the oven for 10 minutes and you have Brie Bites!

Vicki and I spent the rest of the night watching Glee and chatting. When a friend leaves the country for 9 months, there’s definitely a whole lot of necessary catching up and it often involves venn diagrams
