See you later Tulsa!

I am just wanting to put some places and things I am going to miss on here. I am not going to put people because it would take to long to type names. These are in no particular order.

1. Driving the IDL at 4 AM music so loud trying to drown out the thoughts  that are keeping me up

2. Cosmos the food and drinks are oh so yummy

3. The Admiral Twin it was the place I was after moving to Tulsa from Dallas I decided to let it all go

4. Riverside Drive windows down playing Peach's and The Hush Sound in the Mustang

5. That little wooden bridge on the wrong side of the river just north of 21st across from down town. Never would have made it through what was lost in December 2006 with out this spot.

6. The Center of the Universe

7. 209 Hurricane's

8. Haikey Creek Park

9. The Red Roof Inn.

10. All those penguins all over town!

11. I am going to miss have my Dad just around the corner. Just knowing he is 20 minutes away. I was never really close to him till I was an adult. When I was little defiantly more of a mommas boy.

12. I am going to miss my Dog Maggie. She just looks at me like i am her world. When I am upset she does this thing i swear she is trying to get under my feet. I know my Dad will be a wonderful care taker of her.

13. I will miss Baby Daddy my cat I am going to miss her she still tries to sleep in my arm pit even though she isn't big enough. Also watching her with a lid from a bottle of water crying her said little cry because it just won't do what she wants. I am grateful my sister is going to care for her.

14. I will maybe even miss Ting Ting. He can be very entertaining.

What I won't miss is being any where near the BA 169 interchange during high traffic. Worst thing in Tulsa Oklahoma!

I have meet some very awesome people in Tulsa that have been wonderful friends and I am very so lucky to have them in my life. You have each changed my life forever. (Feel free to Sandlot that, I did.) I look forward to the experiences I am going to have. New place and people, I am ready. I am going to do my best to go outside of my box try things I have said no me never. This is my chance to change myself as much as I have been changed by others.

So until I am back.

Love,

JCUB

So I was listening to the radio the other day and came across this on NPR there is a radio show The Splendid Table (with Lynne Rossetto Kasper) and they did this segment the host has a caller on the line they pick 5 items from there kitchen, she has to make a dish out of them, she can use water, salt, and pepper. She can ask for three other items but can only use them if the caller has the items. Now idk if she makes a request and you don't have it if that still counts as one of the three or not. I would imagine not. It was a lot of fun to listen to they have it available on the site to listen to. I love the idea and will use this as a game a parties! Tell everyone to right down 5 things from there kitchen. And then pair people up who knows we might get some fabulous ideas for dinner.

Drum Roll Please....

For at least a month now, my sister and I have been promising Jacob we'd come over to write down his recipe for Red Sauce. After making plans and having to cancel at the last minute, we decided to do it tonight. I have to tell you though, making Red Sauce, while entertaining a 4 1/12 month old, fighting with a puppy, chasing a two year old, and constantly reminding Jacob to measure, can be very difficult. But, somehow, it's been accomplished! Here we have it, the coveted recipe for Red Sauce.

Jacob's Infamous Red Sauce 

(with every ingredient in the spice cabinet but cinnamon.)

First things first, the base for the sauce: 

3 29oz cans of tomato sauce

1 28oz can diced tomatoes

2/3 cup of diced red onion

6 cloves of minced garlic

1 heaping tbsp chives

1/4 tsp of chili powder

1/2 tsp of thyme

1/2 tsp of sage

1 tsp of oregano

1 tsp of basil

2 tbsp of parsley

1 tbsp of Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp of red wine vinegar

1 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar

Mix ingredients into a pot and simmer on low.

Next, the meat:

1/3  cup diced red onion

1/4 tsp  fennel seed

4 cloves of minced garlic

1/2 tsp lemon pepper

1 lb of ground beef

1 lb of itailan sausage

In a separate skillet, mix ingredients (if you have a ‘Roy’ have him do it, because he makes the meat perfect!). Cook on medium high, until the meat is thoroughly done. Mix into sauce. Simmer the sauce and the meat together on low for about two hours, stirring occasionally. Mix sauce with pasta and serve! Don’t forget to enjoy!

We've found that this recipe is good for almost 8 servings. If you decide 8 is too much, I recommend not cutting it in half, instead, save the rest of the sauce for later. Like chili, it just keeps tasting better! 

Bayliss Park.

This is in downtown Councel Bluffs Iowa. We just got here I toke these photos and wanted to share them. Lloyd, Roy, and I are having fun!

Why i chose to not blog this weekend

Friday I was going to fallow number 2's  idea and do fur baby Friday for a theme post, how ever this Friday I felt lazy. I had a wonderful lunch with a friend and her baby. Her sister, also a friend of mine wasn't feeling well so we gave her some time with out kid and toke him with us too. After lunch we hung out for a few hours it was fun when I got home Roy's mom was on his minds we had a slow evening.

May the 4th be with you!

Its star wars day! Not really much I have to say about that topic just think fun to say!
Last weekend one of my best friends Kim married Weldon (Roy's brother) it was at this old library in Ada a small town in southern Oklahoma where Roy's family is from. Its now the Ada Arts & Heritage Center. You can see in the photos of the place the care that has gone into the building over the years.

Food.

OK 3rd time is a charm.  Lesson learned I am saving as a draft as I go.

Newest phone the T-mobile, Samsung Sidekick 4G (SK4G) has an optical DPad on the right hand side, right were my hand slides over some times while typing. So the second attempt to post this my hand fat (lol)  erased. The first time I was righting it at lunch and I deleted it cause I hit delete not save. It happens also what I get for tiring to do this in a rush, at lunch and in the few minutes between talking to my Dad on fathers day, my Gma about number4 her two kids and her boyfriend coming to visit, my best friend and her new Nook and how much fun it is that she has the option of adult videos on demand on it if she so chooses to, and a friend/coworker showing up for dinner just any moment now.
