Snakes on a Plane!

WE LOVED IT!!!!! If you want a really good "bad"movie to see this summer, this is the one my friends! Some great one-liners in it! Spend the muthaf$ckin' dough and watch Samuel L. Jackson in one of the funniest performances of his life.

Arriba! Yo quiero un mas margarita por favor, un grande!

We are going to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for the honeymoon, and we are so excited! I think just about every other night at least we are looking up reviews and more pictures on www.tripadvisor.com. This is an awesome website by the way if you are planning a vacation anywhere. You have some losers that are gonna complain about everything, for example there was a post on our resort, Dreams that a coffee table in their hotel room had a chipped corner. C'mon if you are that bored that you notice the coffee table, you've got some serious thrill issues. The table could be broken in half when I checked in, or spontaneously catch on fire and I could care less, YOU'RE in MX on vacation! But you better believe I'd get a picture of it burning!
We are really looking forward to a nice vacation though. We've had to save up leave all year and we are using just about everything on the wedding and then the honeymoon. We'll be in Mexico for a week, and I tell you what, we won't wanna come back. Yo practico mi espanol y esta bien. (Been practicing my spanish, I am pretty good). One of my crew partners is Puerto Rican, and he has been working with me for awhile on my Spanish so I am pretty decent now. I had a good base, I am from TX after all, so I knew some basics, but needed some refreshing. As long as we do not end up in a Mexican prison with the federales we'll be ok!

Pecan Pie recipe

Mom's Pecan Pie


What you'll need:




1- 15oz package refrigerated piecrusts (you'll stack two together)
3- large eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 light corn syrup
2- tablespoons melted butter
2- teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups pecans

Preheat oven to 350F. Toast pecans on a cookie sheet for about 5 minutes or until fragrant, be careful not to leave them in too long. One of the secrets to this recipe is toasting the pecans, if you don't then they are chewy in your pie.
--While pecans are toasting, unfold the 2 piecrusts, and stack them together one on top of the other in a lightly greased 9" pie plate. Push edges down around plate with your fingers.
--Stir together eggs, sugar, syrup, butter, vanilla and COOLED pecans. Put the pecans in hot, and you'll begin to cook the eggs.
--Pour filling into piecrust. Bake at 350F for 50-55 minutes until set. Serve warm, or cool completely on a wire rack. ENJOY!!!!

Homestyle southern cookin'

Well, today my friends you are in luck! Being inspired by favorite
chef, Mrs Paula Deen, thanks Mary for the magazine, we are
going to make a very southern style dinner, which is not too common to come by in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I love to cook, (at one time I didn't & I was actually not very good at all) but tonight I am going to make homemade bread, chicken fried steaks & chicken fried chicken for me, hashbrown casserole, bacon green beans, and you guessed it, pecan pie! Mom truly makes one of the best pies in the world, I always remember holidays, that was one of the things everyone looked too the most. So I took her recipe, tweaked it just a little, and think I have made a Pecan pie even Paula would rave over!

The BAR exam

OK, Dr. Keri, this one is for you! Alas, I don't have a scanner, otherwise I would put your smiling face on here!
For those of you who are checking up on me via this blog, my sweet dear friend Keri has pointed out that I am not putting up enough info on my blog, and well that just needs to change if you are going to have blog. And put something more interesting on it. Ok, point well taken.
With that being said, Keri has just finished taking the BAR exam down in Texas! After 3 grueling days of testing, she will not find out the results until November 3rd, so let's all keep her in our prayers! Keri, you are truly an amazing woman, with an incredible drive to accomplish everything you have. I am truly blessed to have you as my friend and best-lady at our wedding! Love you!!!!

VINO!!!!!!

Well, ladies and gents, my wine supplies should be arriving today. I use a couple of different suppliers, it kind of depends on what I am going to
need and order. Got all the bottles and corks coming in, along with the
labels. So you know what I will be doing this weekend!
I am looking forward to getting to share the vino with you all at the
wedding! I am going to the Nagle Warren today(that's where the reception is at) to figure out centerpieces and decide on a lunch menu.

Maybe one day soon, I could do this full time, that would be my dream job!
