I interrupted my regularly programmed summer with a few days off to hang with the fam at an old school house by the beach in Muskegon. My vacation went at follows: cook, eat, do nothing, buy stuff, ice cream and repeat. Not a bad plan, right?

All this "vacationing" left little time for photo documentation. Turns out I was doing nothing, a little too hard. By the end of the first day I knew I was in trouble. That's when I realized you've gotta work with what you have. So here, my wonderful blog readers (i.e. mom) is what I did on vacation...

Mom's doctored up "spaghetts" sauce, grilled eggplant, romaine and yes our familes new favorite thing, compound butter!
