Alice in Wonderland

If you haven't seen it yet. I highly recommend it. I took Aubrey, my mom, and my niece, and we were glued the entire time. You have to see it in 3D. The story line is amazing. The graphics are like something you would see in a dream. This was my first 3D experience, and now I will try to see as many 3D movies as I can. Awesome.

Corey Haim

It made me sick yesterday when I heard Corey Haim had died. I know he had lots of problems. It just kind of makes you think how could anyone get that bad. It seems like to me a lot of people probably wrote him off. I will always remember him from his movies in the 80's. I can't tell you how many times I watched Silver Bullet, Lucas, Lost Boys, & License to Drive. I will always remember those movies being some of my favorites.

American Pickers.....

This is my new favorite show. I was watching Pawn Stars every time it was on, but now that this show follows Pawn Stars we are glued to the T.V. on Monday nights. I have both shows DVR'ed so we never miss them. Love watching these guys dig through other peoples old barns, houses, and junk yards looking for rusted treasures. If you haven't seen it you must check it out.

Pulled Pork

Simple Fantastic Recipe

Ingredients
1 pork butt
1 2 liter bottle of Root Beer
BBQ Sauce

Hamburger Buns

Directions
Place the pork in a slow cooker; pour the root beer over the meat. I left about an inch from the top of the meat. Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the pork shreds easily. I cooked all night long. Note: the actual length of time may vary according to individual slow cooker. Drain well. Shred meat. Stir in barbecue sauce. Serve over hamburger buns.

Potato Skins

Little Time consuming cooked the potatoes and scooped them out the night before.

Ingredients

10 baking potatoes

shredded cheddar

1 package bacon

chives or green onions

vegetable oil

Bake the potatoes on 400 until done. Cool them and cut into 2 the long ways. Scoope out the potatoes until there is about a 1/4 of the potatoe left. This is where I put them in the fridge over night to finish the next day. If you want to go ahead and make them. Next I put a couple of tbsp of veg oil in a bowl and brushed the insides and outsides of the potatoes and put them on a cookie sheet then salted them. I put them back in the oven for 5-10 minutes on 400 to slightly brown them and it makes them a little more crispier. I took them out and cooked the bacon and let it completely cool and chop finely. I added the bacon to each potato half and then added the shredded cheese. I put it back in the oven for a couple of minutes just to let the cheese melt. Took out and chopped up the green onion and added to the potatoes. You can add sour cream if you want.

Sopapilla Cheesecake

Easy & really good

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth; set aside.
Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough, and use a rolling pin to shape each sheet into 9x13 inch rectangles. Press one sheet into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture into the baking dish, then cover with the remaining piece of crescent dough, and brush with melted butter. Stir together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.

Laundry and the Devil

Do you have any idea how much laundry you would have to do if it piled up for a week? Well do you want to guess what I have been doing for the past two nights. This past week has been such a test to how patient I can be. Sometime I just wish I could be a stay at home mom, and actually have a clean home everyday. No nevermind, I don't want to be a stay at home mom. Maybe if I could call Merry Maids and they could come twice a month. Bryan really tested me a couple of nights ago. I asked him to go get the food we put in ice chests outside (so it wouldn't ruin) and put back in the fridge. You know what he said? This one blew me away. Mine you he was laying down watching Sports Center. His response was "That's not my department." If you know me you know you can probably guess how I reacted since some people use to refer to me as Hot-Head Harvey. I actually was so shocked I didn't say anything, but I gave him the most deadliest look I could possibly give. I know he saw horns forming from my forehead and smoke coming out of my ears. I was so mad inside, and so proud I didn't say anything. I knew immediately I looked scary because he looked at me and got up and took care of it. I wish this worked all the time.

I'm so excited.......

We have electricity. It came back on last night about 6:00. It has been a week since the lights went out. It is amazing how much more at ease I feel now.
