Fun Monday 01~17~11

This month's host for Fun Monday is Ari and she asked us to post a link to a music video or song that specifically makes you want to get up and dance. So with out further ado.....(yes i know i couldnt pick just one)

Yummy for my tummy

I made a coleslaw today that is from a recipe one of my co-workers gave me. It isn't your normal coleslaw. It is a super terrific non mayo slaw.

Here is the recipe, thanks Allison. You rock!!

1 bag coleslaw mix

1 green bell pepper, chopped kinda fine

1 red bell pepper, chopped kinda fine

1 onion chopped fine

2 cuties, chopped kinda fine

4T lemon juice

1c Reed's Dressing (made locally....support local industry!!!)

8T balsamic vinegar

Mix all ingredients and enjoy! It tastes so good.

What Allison showed me (and we did for dinner at work the other night)

Take said slaw place on toasted Thin Bun, top with 1 slice crispy bacon (broken into thirds or fourths), Put top bun on and enjoy.

Note: Get a napkin, you will need it.....lol

Revisting the past

"Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future." ~ Anonymous





Once again my life seems bombarded with people from the past who didn't care enough to stay in it to make it to the future.

I can not decide if people think so little of me that I am the "hey, there is no one else, lets try her" person or if i am just that unforgettable that no one compares....yeah right. But seriously people, if I wasn't good enough once, you are not good enough now!

Roses and names

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

If this holds true, than isn't it all possible that all of our wars, debates, prejudices and antics over religious idols could be for naught?

Maybe we all really are worshiping the same Deity.

Wipe Out

I really really really want to be on this show. Yes, it looks painful. No, it isn't enough money. No, I have no athletic ability what so ever. Yes, I know I would look like a fool. But it looks like sooooo much fun.




Come on now, y'all know me, I DON'T run, I DON'T get dirty and I DON'T like water in my face...isn't this the prefect show for me?...lol

Red Hana

Had a terrific lunch with mom, dad and Rusty. My family has been eating Mongolian BBQ for years. Since we have been residing in TX we have been Mongolian BBQ deprived. Today we tried a new place called Red Hana. It is so new On Star couldn't give directions to it. It was pretty good. It wasn't Great Khan's Festival in San Diego but for not having it for a while, it was pretty darn good. Thanks mom and dad!!!

Stolen from The Pioneer Woman

This is the best bestest easiest Mousse I have ever made. Try it if you please. One change we like to do is rather than use the chocolate bar, we prefer Nutella!!!

Chocolate Almond Frozen Mousse


Ingredients
■1 package Cool Whip
■2 Tablespoons Strong Brewed Coffee, Completely Cooled
■1 whole Hershey Bar With Almonds
Preparation Instructions
Allow Cool Whip to thaw on the counter for ten to fifteen minutes.

Gently stir in cool coffee until combined.

Melt Hershey bar in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then stir into Cool Whip mixture. Since the Cool Whip is cold, it will solidify the candy bar in tiny particles.

Serve soft or refreeze and serve as an ice-cream type treat.
