House guests, raffles and cooking...OH MY!!!

Its been hectic this week...Sean's parents are visiting us from California.  So, of course I have been busy in the kitchen, cooking up a storm.  Plus, I was waiting patiently by the door for the mailman to deliver my Super Levi gear for the virtual walk tomorrow.  Plus, I have been working on the 2 raffle prizes, trying to buy the cutest packing materials as possible...and Monday I start the biscuit baking (the pooches are looking forward to that day).
Well, you are probably wondering what has graced the dinner table this week...

We had a lovely Boeuf Bourguignon (Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon) on Tuesday evening when they arrived...

Then I woke up and made biscuits one morning...

Last night I made Pasta e Fagioli (thanks Cheryl) and a Banana Cake from Ina Garten's, "Barefoot Contessa, How Easy Is That" (apparently, it really is pretty easy)...

 I even got to use my new (old) cake plate I picked up at an antique store a few weeks ago...

And tomorrow we will head out the door and help support Levi in our Levi gear and take lots of pics on our virtual walk.  There is still time to donate and participate in the raffle...please check out the blog "Two Pitties in the City" for details.

I will post the recipes next week...I have to head to dinner now before we go on our ghost tour of "Old Town". 

Enjoy the foods of your labor.  :-)

@Two Pitties...everything came in, in time. The T-shirts came out great and the pooches looked great in their scarves. I already posted pics on your facebook of our walk today. Can't wait to start baking for the raffle winners :-)
