Jeep Wash Yeah Talking about the Jeep wash

Well remember my cleaning frenzy I have been going through? I'm thinking I need to schedule a Psychiatric appt???? For an evaluation. Why am I doing this? I washed my Jeep Saturday!

Great Chef

Last night we went to Bateaux's. It was a girls night out. It ended up with 5 of us. Jessica, me, Nadia( my friend from down at the river). Rose and Rachel joined us to celebrate Rachel's birthday. Some of you may recognize this handsome chef. I'm his Mom so I have bragging rights! He prepared a special appetizer for us. It was DELICIOUS! I'm not sure I can tell you the proper name or wording. It went something like this. A carrot juice something, with corn something, with crab & a lavender bean infusion. Please don't let Miles know I couldn't remember the correct wording. I would be in trouble. He served it in a expresso cup with a grape tomatoe on the side with a salad inside the tomatoe (like a crab salad?) For my appetizer I went out of my comfort zone. I tried the Duck Confit "Taquito"

(Wonderful.) Miles has wanted me try it forever so I did. I also had the Grilled Neiman Ranch Pork chop. SOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Of course dessert ! I had the Buttermilk Cocoa cake. AGAIN!! It was a great leisurely dinner with great friends. I couldn't ask for more. By the way did I mention HOW PROUD I am of my Chef??? We need to plan a blog night out girls!

Dessert Anyone?

I have learned having two Chefs around can cause you to do creative things. Jessica is having a bit of a bad week. She told me the meal her Mom would prepare when she needed comfort. So I fried chicken made mashed potatoes and green peas and strawberry shortcake. The simple version of strawberry shortcake. I decided to be a little creative with the chocolate syrup. It's for presentation you know LOL. She took the picture to prove to Miles I do pay attention.

Cleaning Mood??

Hey I must be crazy.

I have been on a cleaning out spree. I cleaned out my pantry yesterday. It sure makes you feel good to have everything in order.

Mood Lifters

I'm one of those people that needs to have sunshine. When its gloomy I get down. I took the pictures of the flowers because they say I'm happy. The bright yellow just gives me a lift. Then I spotted the butterfly on the flower. Everytime I got close it flew off. This is the be shot I could get.

SISTERS FOREVER

We had a Frogmore stew cookout this afternoon at Russell & Anita's. So I thought o.k. I will take sister pictures for my blog. Sister's are always there when you need them. They are there for good times and bad times. A sister will take care of you. I have a few times I can think of for me. When I had my hysterectomy Janet was there with me. She stayed all night by my side.

When Miles was 4 months old I had pneumonia. She packed up and came for the weekend to help. There are alot more times I could mention also. I have stayed with her when she has had surgeries. I take her to Doctor appointments when she needs me. Aunt Jean has been a great help with Mom on Fridays. She took her to have her hair done every week. Then they would go and get lunch. Aunt Jean has gone back to work @ THA this year. There is a bond you can see on Mom's face when she sees Aunt Jean. Funny Aunt Jean is Mom's baby sister & Janet is mine.

A sister is just someone quite special! ( I must say I love my brothers too.)

Rainey Day What to do?

It was one of those days of choosing which task to undertake.
I have alot I should do. So I thought about which ones to do.
I selected to clean out my closet (I HATE THAT JOB).
I'm one of those people that cannot stand my house messy.
I don't have that problem with closets. The closets in my house are always TERRIBLE. Please don't look in closets if you come to my house. I can now actually walk inside my closet YEAH!!
It's amazing how much junk is in a closet. See all the trash. I have to admit alot of it was (shoe boxes) don't tell!! My next project was to bake something. I made two pecan pies. You may notice a piece is missing. What do you expect? I couldn't let anyone eat it until I made sure it was o.k. Yeah right.
