More Bear Stories
July 31, 20100 Comments
They seem to be all over the place.  It's a little too many bear stories in a short period of time for my liking. Jack Hanna, the famous zookeeper, while hiking with his wife and a few other people in Montana's Glacier National Park, were confronted with a grizzly cub.  He sprayed the cub with pepper spray as everyone fled the scene.  Thank goodness no one was hurt.  Even if it's a cub I don't want to see it.  It just...

Hugh Laurie making a Record
July 31, 20100 Comments
Hugh Laurie, known for his role on House, is releasing a Blues Album through Warner Music Group.  He's quoted as saying: 'I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity. I know the history of actors making music is a chequered one, but I promise no one will get hurt. I am particularly thrilled to be working with Joe Henry, who has produced some of my favourite records of all time, and I can't wait to get started.' I personally can't...

Hef Documentary Trailer
July 31, 20100 Comments
Ever since 'The Girls Next Door' I've really taken a liking to Hef. Not enough that I would want to date him, even to live in the Playboy Mansion, I don't understand how those girls do it.  But I think that this will be a really cool documentary and I can't wait to see it. He certainly has lived a full and interesting life. ...

X Games 16 - Day 2
July 31, 20100 Comments
So I've been trying to watch as much of the X Games this year as possible.  Hopefully watching all these extreme sports I'll get inspired to really go for it this year with snowboarding.  (Oh yeah, it's already time to start thinking about it again.  We already put deposits on our season passes.)  I was excited to see Shaun White skateboard in the Skate Vert competition.  I thought he did a great job but he ended up with...

Sweet Valley High - 10 yrs Later
July 31, 20100 Comments
Francine Pascal, the author of the Sweet Valley High Series, has traveled 10 years into the future with the characters Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield and is writing a new series about the twins.  For those of you who have never heard of these books must not have been a teenage girl in the 80's/90's.  I was more of a Babysitter's Club girl but since I loved to read I would borrow these from friends and it was always a good story. The...

Working a desk job WILL kill you
July 31, 20100 Comments
The American Cancer Society has released findings from a study proving that if you sit for long periods of time you can be shortening your life span.  Here are the actual details: 'Researchers spent 14 years studying 120,000 men and women and found that the more time they spent sitting, the greater their risk of dying prematurely. The stakes were especially high for women. Researchers found that women who spend six or more hours sitting...

Metalocalypse
July 30, 20100 Comments
So while at the 'Carnage Party' the other night a girl sat at our table and I heard her quoting my all time favorite cartoon series 'Metalocalypse'.  Most people haven't seen it but if you love metal or just hilarious cartoons about music you need to check it out.  I tried to find some clips that would show a bit about the characters and some of my favorite clips.  BEWARE:  There is quite a bit of colorful language in the clips. ...

So for any of you who have read, Bitter in Black by Jen Lancaster, one of my favorite books you'll have heard about Maisy the Pit Bull.  She's a character to be sure and while on YouTube this morning trying to find video of her doing a segment on the Today show I came across this....

Mozzarella Sticks

So I had a half package of won-ton wrapper laying around so I figured I would try to make some homemade mozzarella sticks.  My parents had mentioned that they made them this way once and loved them so I figured I could find a recipe somewhere.  I stumbled upon a "blog" and found a simple recipe decided to make a few changes so it worked for me.   I used some cheese sticks that I bought, cut into thirds Place in the center Wrap,...

Summer Salads

Chicken Pot Pie
July 27, 20100 Comments
I've been really slacking on taking pictures of the stuff I'm cooking.  So I figured I'd use some older stuff to make room for a bunch of new stuff I've added to my upcoming cooking list.  Here is a Chicken Pot Pie that I made and froze in individual containers for quick, easy and healthy meals in a pinch, or if I'm just too beat to cook.  Next time I make this I'll be using a more healthy solution to the cream of mushroom soup...

Another day in the life....
July 24, 20100 Comments
For a day that was planned for me to be in the office turned into anything but. I should have known.  I had the luxury of driving to Denver not once, not twice and let me tell you, NOT FUN! Especially when you're in a 16 person van and have no idea where you're going.  At least the people I had to pick up were cool.  Now I'm stranded at a camp site (for no reason I can see) for at least two hours before I have to start heading...

Red Rocks!  Finally!
July 23, 20100 Comments
So we got tickets to the Pepper/Offspring/311 show at Red Rocks the other night, thanks Saint!  Anyway, Pete had to work so he got home and we headed down to Golden for the show.  I've been dying to get there and of course it was pissing rain. We picked up our tickets but we needed to meet up with Pepper after their set for our backstage passes.  We headed up the steps to watch their set.  I've only seen them once before but...

Getting the Oil Changed - One Year Later

So finally my car told me it's time to get my oil changed.  Pete and I were on our way into Denver so we just stopped off at the dealer who dropped us off at the mall down the road for the hour it would take to get it done. Here's a shot of the food court where we stopped for lunch and the carousel.  When we finished up we headed back to the dealer and strolled the floor to check out some cars.  Pete fell in love with the Pilot...

So we headed to Frisco to check out the BBQ festival that they hold every year.  I was pretty surprised with the turn out.  We grabbed some tickets and started to look around for something that we wanted to try.  Pete wanted some wings and Billy Gomers had them.  They were really good.  1st round anyway, we went back for more and to try another sauce but they were a little underdone. I love a shrimp skewer so we headed...

Of course while mom was out here for her trip the weather was not the best.  We had to cancel a few of the fun things we had planned but we still had a good time. Since it was raining we got some movies and hung out at home while she got used to the altitude.  Alice in Wonderland was our pick.  I didn't get to see all of it the first time I tried to watch it so I was happy to see all of this time.  Plus I got to make her a nice...
