Fur baby Friday

cupcake challenge ::: week 12 ~ father's day

The theme this week was fathers day!

Flashback Fridays

The summer after i graduated (witch was ten years ago now lol) i went on a road trip with My Dad, Gma, and Gpa. this was from Wichita Falls TX to Los Angeles CA. we were out there for the better part of the month of June. we didn't go straight out to L.A. though we made some stops along the way.

Fur Baby Friday

So this last week Dingo has started jumping out of the bed. this isn't just she has to go to the bath room and we wouldn't wake up. she just time after time kept jumping out of the bed. so we have been keeping her in the kennel at night. what this means is the cats will start sleeping in the bed again. I woke up this morning with Tucker and TingTing on either side of me (as seen below). last night i had Breanna all up in my face it was quite cute.

Stump The Chief

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.

Fridays?

So I have two ideas for what to do on Fridays.

Flashback Friday. I would go through old photos, awards, and things. Write about them. Might even get some people to guest blog for me about a memory they have about a photo, or object.

Fur baby Friday. Pics of the animals since I felt a little strange about Meow Monday and including the dog in it.

I am typically off on Fridays who is to say I can't and won't post both, or do every other. I really like both ideas. What about you?

also i am testing the schedule future with this i wrote this in advance and it will hopefully post when i have it set to!

So it didn't work user error. shameful lol.... I'll try again sometime.

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! 

Wordless Wednesday

Weekend wrap up!

Friday Roy's Uncle passed he had been in the hospital for a while it was expected. If that wasn't bad enough at the moment he received the call he was going outside with the dog. The electric company had been in our yard and didn't close the gate. Thankfully Dingo just ran down the street ans right back home.  I understand they don't know if we have a dog, but still they could simply leave things the way they were. some friends came over and hung out!

Yesterday we went to see Gma then to my company picnic, then to Mayfest, then dinner with a friend. It was a good day lots of walking! Today we were lazy. I look forward to our trip this week! Btw Dingo was acting odd tonight, like something scared her. Usually she sleeps on the outside of the bed but tonight had to sleep in the middle. Its so strange how human they can be even though they look so different. Even there organs, its just so strange to me.

Cupcake challenge ::: week 8

The theme this week was Mario

Cupcake Challenge!

So number 2 as mentioned before does a weekly cupcake challenge I have decided to join in on the fun this is my first week her seventh. This week the theme is Mothers day! My inspiration is this recipe Roy's mom gave me before she passed. Its for. Pumpkin roll, I decided I'd make it into cupcakes.

Meow and Woof Monday?

Well if I planing on doing Wordless Wednesday I can't just do Meow Monday and not include the Puppy Monster. I guess I could to Meow Monday and Woof Wednesday? Ideas? Suggestions? Comments? Hecklyings? Opinion?

Wordless Wensday Meow Monday and other blog events.

On several blogs I fallow they do certain things on different days of the week. A schedule of events to always have something to look forward to. It even goes over to social media, for example on Twitter there is Follow Friday where people share who there favorite people they fallow are to get others fallow as well.

The Puppy Monster and The Wasp

So I was cleaning out the gutters on the house the other day, I had taken a much needed extra day off work thought I'd spend some time on the house. So I grabbed the things I needed did the back of the house and decided I'd tie Dingo to the beams across the front of the house so I loop her leash clip it on her open the door and invite her out (I use that term lightly cause she doesn't just yet fully understand the concept).

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.

Halloween and Stuff

We needed some normalcy in our lives so we put up the Halloween Decor. toke some photos we have had most of it for years but the zombie and the hand with eye are new. The bench will get webbing but today was windy so it was not getting put on today. Coming soon the return of cooking, and maybe ill take one from my sister and do wordless Wednesdays, she posts a photo with no words, it can be allot of fun.
P.S. Safety first notice the yellow duct tape over the extension cord.
