Update: Two Plates (one to drive, one to eat)

So in this blog post we have two new plates to show you all in blogland. The first one being our OR driving plates! We decided not to go with the traditional plate shown below. (just too many of them!)

We also decided not to go with this one below. We couldn't tell what it was! The guy at the DMV said he wouldn't be caught with this plate on his car. It is a "cultural" plate, which means no-so-great art, if you ask us. When we saw these around town we thought it might be a picture of a significant fire that happened in Oregon. Ha!

This one hit the spot for us. We have been biking around Eugene (sometimes wishing that we didn't live up a hill), and are glad to "share the road" with fellow bikers when we drive (well, share the road with ones that obey the rules of the road that is)! Donna also thought they were the best-looking in the bunch because they were—well—simple! Here we are showing them off before we placed them on the cars. (the most hilarious thing about this picture, besides the fact that we look pretty ridiculous, is that Feist and Frou-Frou wanted to get in on the action. You can see them at the bottom of the screen door—both of them looking away from the camera!)

So that was the first plate we wanted to show you, the next plate was one that we brought to Corey's architecture potluck. He was assigned the task of creating a dish that described himself—so he chose (with the help of Donna's recipe clippings) an interesting appetizer. We named it Pizza-Peach-Pesto-and-More-Yumminess (well, we couldn't really think of a good name, so this one works). Donna and Corey made their OWN pesto for this (and it actually came out alright). It is an unusual mesh of ingredients but super delicious! More importantly, it looked beautiful (presentation is everything—that is why Donna felt the need to color coordinate with the dish...ok, that was just coincidence). If you come and visit us you just might get to try it out!
