Beware!

Last night Brant & I went to a Texas Rangers game. For those who know me & love me anyway, know I am not an avid sports lover. Heeeere's my game recap!
Brant parked in our parking spot. Why is this on my recap? We could throw a rock from the car & hit the stadium, it was THAT close :)
The guy two rows in front of us held a full spit cup for his sunflower seed shells. Interesting.
We had so much fun our waitress brought us 2 bags of peanuts, a lemon ice & a large drink all for free. That's gotta be $20+ worth of free food! Really it was because our order got lost in cyberspace but I like to believe it's because we are so fun :)
Remember the sunflower seed guy? I glanced back over to the man sitting in front of him. Guess what was on the back of this man's shirt? You guessed it, a sunflower seed shell! The cup was long gone & so were the sunflower seeds. Guess the sunflower seed guy decided to dispose of the evidence. Good thing I didn't have anything in my mouth. The poor guy infront of me would have suffered!
Hope ya'll enjoyed MY recap!

SNEAK PEAK!!!

If you haven't heard already I've begun working out and using a program called P90X. 90 days of extreme workouts to get a total body make-over. I haven't wanted to release any photo's until I finished because I really wanted to shock everyone.  However, after asking Chris to take a photo recently (which is part of the program) I begged Chris to let me make a post on her blog to shows the improvement so far (6 weeks of about 40 days into it).

Day 40, September 9, 2010

A little less spare tire around the waist, and it bit more muscle starting to show up.

There's a Cure for Dry Crock Pot Meat!

I've always been intrigued by the crockpot concept.
Pros: They don't heat up the house while your cooking & you don't have to put your day on hold because there's meat in the oven.
Con: There is only 1 but it's a big one! All meat we've ever tasted out of one has been completely dry.
I've read recipes from what seems like a million different sources. Most pot roast recipes say to cut off the fat & brown the meat before putting it in. That's no "crock" ha haaa. So when I researched Texas brisket recipes they said the same thing; brown it all over for 4-5 minutes. I had the time this morning so I figured if it works for roast it just might for the brisket too. WOW, wow, wow that brisket was tender & delicious.
So yes, ladies & gentleman, there IS a cure for dry crock pot meat & I've found it!

Two Thumbs Up

Eclipse was great. Glad I went after all the hype decreased. I forgot how much I loved that book. It was my favorite out of the series. Everything was much improved: acting, directing, cinematography so ... Yes, I loved it. Thanks Laura for going with me :)

Is it Worth a Buck?

I'm finally breaking down to watch Eclipse with a friend of mine. It's playing at our dollar movie so hopefully it's worth the worn buck from the cushions. I think I'll save the crisp dollar bill for something a little more special like an ice cream treat.

Too bad it went viral. All that hype ruined my love for the Twilight series. Wish me luck
