Holiday Baking and Holiday Plumbing

Last weeked I had the oppotunity to bake some things for the upcoming holiday get togethers Brian and I will be attending.  I actually had the house to myself for a night, so it was the perfect time to get my cook on!  Brian was down in Emporia doing part of the bathroom remodel- plumbing [...]

New Grilling Technique Makes for a Great Dinner

This past Saturday evening my cousin Kate came up to visit and spend the night.  We had a blast eating, drinking, talking and playing a few rounds of Guitar Hero (with singing). There were a couple of firsts that happened on Saturday.  Kate got to see our house for the first time and hang out [...]

Old School

This post is old school for two reasons: I am writing it. I can’t cook like Courtney, so I will not speak of food. Now on to bidness, I got a new toy that I have wanted for some time: What is this and why is it significant you may ask? This badass mutha is [...]

Songs for John II Concert and a Traditional Greek Dinner

Two great things, one great weekend! Saturday night, Brian and I attended a benefit concert in honor of my late cousin John held at Spivey’s Bar and Grill in Lenexa, KS.  John died this past February at a very young age from neck cancer.  Last year my cousin’s friends put together a benefit concert to [...]

Beef Stroganoff

This recipe is great for those long, cold days of winter.  It is very easy to throw together before you leave for work, and takes minutes to finish preparing once you get home.  It is also a Cooking Light recipe, so I guess it is somewhat healthy for you. Ingredients: 1 lb. top round steak, [...]

Meatball Sub Casserole

Fun Friday Feast happened on Thursday of last week since we were rockin’ out to Trent Reznor Friday night and Brian didn’t have to work this Friday.  I thought I would post this anyways since it is so good. This casserole is awesome!  How can you go wrong with bread, cheese, meatballs and sauce baked [...]

Nine Inch Nails at Mizzou Arena in Columbia

As expected, Trent Reznor and company did not disappoint. It was an awesome show again, and we can’t wait to buy the Blu-Ray concert DVD when it comes out. We left KC at 3 P.M. so we could get to Columbia in time for dinner and make it to the show by 7:30 P.M. We [...]

NIN Redux

This years Nine Inch Nails “Lights In The Sky” tour is the best tour we have ever seen, so we’re going back a second time … tomorrow! Fullscreen those bitches!

Lots of new stuff.

New shoes for the Honda.  Goodyear Assurance Triple Treds- Consumer Reports #1 Rated all-season passenger tire (as well as other excellent ratings).  Bring on the snow baby! New shoes for our feet.  Brian bought the Nike Air Vomeros and I bought the Nike Air Zoom Structure Triax, which are awesome!  We both feel like we’re running on air.  They [...]

Coldplay at the Sprint Center

The concert was awesome … OK, I have to be honest-  I probably would have given the overall concert a rating of “above average”, but Brian, Frank, Lynn and I were some of the lucky audience members that experienced a close-up acoustic performance of The Scientist! Towards the end of the concert Coldplay ran out [...]
