Blast From the Past!

For some reason while I was driving to work this
morning, all I could think of was of being young and
starting schoolwhen the weather was changing from
summer to fall. I can remember waking up early
(I had to "do" my hair) and loving the crispness of
the morning and wondering how the day would turn
out. Depending on how much time I had left before I

needed to catch the bus, I'd do things like dance and
sing along Debbie Gibson  or practice my gymnastics.

Random. But good memories.

Here's a little list of favorite movies from back in the day:

1. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

2. Teen Witch

3. Dream a Little Dream OR anything with
the Coreys in it.

4. Can't Buy Me Love

5. Troop Beverly Hills

I really could list 1,000 more cheesey flicks...
but I won't. This is enough thought provoking
blogging for one day, yes?

Fair Day!

Woo-hoo, we're going to the State Fair this weekend!
What does that entail? A little of this:

1. People watching... out-of-town visitors,carnies,
teenagers making out (ewww!).

2. Chile Relleno Dogs. (Exactly what they sound like:
a green chile stuffed with cheese and a hotdog(!!!), battered
and fried, smothered in green chile.)

3. Aguas Frescas. I love to mix flavors.

4. Roasted Corn with lots of butter, s+p, lemon and cayenne
pepper.

5. Warm, sweet pecans!

6.  Livestock and exhibits... sooo many cool, cute, weird items
to enjoy!

(and yes, I probably can eat everything mentioned!)

Chocolate Stout Cakez...

I made this incredibly delicious cake this weekend... I have
to say it's the best dessert I've ever made. I mean EVER.



The photo does not do the cake justice, but I just wanted to
share a little bit of it's AWESOMENESS with you!

Currently lovin' on these books...

Heat by Bill Buford


and

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris.

(the inspiration for the popular tv series True blood)


Both books are super entertaining, check them out!
