I love this site!

I discovered this new blog from my co-worker Emily Lunt's blog, My New Roots. I already made the strawberry cake minus the rhubarb topping and even Kelli said it was good! I am excited to try some of the other recipes.

I was just reading how you can grind your own flour in the blender...even chickpea! What? Who knew?

The food photography is also top notch!

Birthday time!

Yesterday was my friend Jared's 33rd b-day...which according to him is a sad one because it is no longer evenly divided by 2!Ummm...okay. Since I am right behind him, I am thinking its sad because I only have two really good child bearing years left! Boys and girls think so differently!

We celebrated by going to one of the resturants Kelli works at, Modern Steak. It was super yummy and way too much food. They have potato, bacon, cheddar bread, it is to die for, probably in the literal sense as well...hmmm. But so worth every calorie!

Kelli made the cutest birthday platter! Yumm-o! So delicious...I recommend the fresh powdered donuts with raspberry sauce. You will have dreams about the raspberry sauce! So good!



Yay for birthdays! Happy Birthday Jareda...hope it was a good one!

Online Classes

School started last Thursday, I am taking 3 classes, 2 online and one in person. Shew! Why do they insist on requesting more homework if it is an online class. I really think the University's and professor's idea of the hourly exchange rate of lecture time vs. homework is out of balance. For example, you go to a 50 minute class 3 times a week the professor lectures on the notes/power points you already have access to, you have an assignment to do every 3 weeks or so. In online courses, I guess the professor get a little nervous that you are not spending enough time with the materials, so your have 4 assignments due every week, plus the major project every 3 weeks. If anyone thinks online equals less work...wrong oh, my friend! So why do I do it? It allows me to still work full-time, which allows me to go to school pretty much for free, sigh. Here's a thought, folks, just record lectures and post them to be watched instead of the extra work to make sure we are still paying attention? I am sure they would argue that students would not watch them, this is true for some....but do not kid yourselves professors, those in-class students "typing" away at notes during your lecture, they are just playing Farmville or checking Facebook!

House!

I finally found a house (pending inspection)! She is a HUD so she needs a little love! I will be elated to have everything finalized! It has taken sooooo long...so many offers...so many awlful houses. One thing I learned was that the Lord wants me in my ward. Everytime I tried to pick something outside the boundry...something would happen like the house would just going off the market! So strange! Did I mention it is around 110-115 outside...which means going into empty house with no power on is like walking into a brick oven....you just feel like toast!

I am requesting a collective appendage(fingers, toes, arms, legs...you get the idea) crossing from all, that there will be no major issues found during the inspection.
