Yep, that is my beautiful grill/panini maker combo. I can already tell you I am going to get a lot of use out of this brilliant kitchen gadget. :) We made BLTs on foccacia bread and they were delicious! We have wonderful plans to make panini sandwiches, since we love them so much and they are so easy to make at home now. I will likely be posting panini recipes here and there when we find truly tasty ones.

Tonight we had a family movie night with Johnny and decided to watch Free Willy on Netflix Instant Watch on our computer. It was definitely a great choice considering Johnny loves loves loves whales and has carried around little plastic whales obsessively on occasion. I think his love of whales started with Finding Nemo. Neither John nor myself had watched Free Willy since we were a lot younger, but thought it would be fun to watch it again. Johnny was mesmerized by Willy in the movie; he would pretty much get distracted and talk or play with toys during the parts that Willy wasn't in the movie, but once Willy was on the screen, it was complete and utter silence and a look of awe from my adorable little boy. He would laugh when Willy would splash people, get concerned when he thought Willy was sad, and was just all around really awed by the movie. Toward the end of the movie, Johnny was getting very sleepy, but he fought it until he saw Willy reunited with his mama and then his little eyes drifted close and he entered dreamland. Maybe Johnny will be a marine biologist when he grows up? That would be cool with me. :) (As long as he specializes in whales, not sharks, because sharks are ridiculously scary - my dad had me watch Jaws at a young age to insure that I would gain a good & healthy fear of sharks, one he also shares.)
