Motocross here I come!

My dear friend purchased new Honda motorcycles for himself and each of his 3 kids last week so last night as part of our date we rode around his neighborhood and had SO much fun! I look like a goober in this picture (could the helmet be any bigger?!), but it was totally worth wearing the helmet and I had to post this silly picture to prove I did it.
I learned the whole process of starting it, shifting it into gear, and then of course cruising around. Those motocross boys we watched (see previous post) make it look super easy but it was really tricky. He lives in a neighborhood with a big circle so we just cruised around the circle over and over, which still challenged me plenty because I am....well, let's admit it, half-retarded. However, he was totally patient with me and it was awesome!

The other part of the date included me making a quick dinner. My favorite part was the "Celebration Potatoes", which came from one of my recent cooking classes, so I decided to share it. I will post the recipe and directions on my cooking blog today - check it out if you're looking to spice up traditional mashed potatoes in an easy, yummy fashion.

Happy Sunday!
