Groomsmen

You may have heard, but my groomsmen are not the most responsible people, Amy being the one I love (can think of things that I would never think of), came up with the idea that I should tell my groomsmen that they need to get their tuxes by May 20th. Thank God she did this because I found out just what Amy has been going through with the whole wedding planning thing. My Groomsmen not only did not know the date of the wedding, they were telling others the wrong date. You may think it had been a long time since they were told the the date... oh no... in this case I talked to one of them the same night he was caught giving out the wrong date. Another groomsmen was told to take off the dates from work-the next day to make sure he called me to make sure he had all the right days off. This is the same guy that told me he did not need to go get fitted for a tux because he had his own.......I guess this is what I get for being the first one of our friends to get married... I guess I just wanted to bitch a little but I am sure everything will work out.... now I am done

This is a little something for the guy to be unnamed we meet in the hotel elevator

Why no post you ask

I have not been posting because 1. Amy is mad at me and is no longer editing my post and she is mad that i do not know the difference between the words are, our, and or i do that or is not the same word but when she was telling me how to use are and our i said jokingly what about or and that is why she is no longer my editor so now it takes me a lot longer to post, and 2. i have been making a really cool website that i think my brother will really enjoy because it is a dedication to him and how much i love him so if every one would like to check the site out here it is for all to enjoy. http://net84.webs.com/

Last Saturday was a cold rainy night. Amy and I were Tucked in on our couch watching TV eating a hot bowl of soup, When we heard it. The most god awful sound at first i think it is two cats outside fighting or doing what cats do. Then Amy mutes the TV and we realize it is far worse then two cats outside. It sounds like it is coming from inside the house. As Amy is frozen on the couch i have to investigate but every time i move closer to the action in are guest bedroom the HISSING stops so i stop. To my relief it was not in the guest bedroom However now i am thinking it is in our cold air return staying warm. I am dreading the thought of it being a skunk and am actually hoping it is a opossum, raccoon anything but a skunk, because of it hissing something must be down there with it and we all no what skunks do when they get scared and that is all we need our house to start smelling like.

There is nothing we can do it is late Saturday night we can not call our landlord. We could but he would just tell us to wait for the morning and if it is still there then we will do something about it. so we spend the night listening for it waiting for the attack but all we hear is the hissing. The next night nothing, will it ever return we hope not God we hope not.

Books?

So, I think something is wrong... it might be the Oregon weather or maybe my age (24), but something strange is happening and I have no explanation for it. I first started a change when I started to like wine. I know that is not that hard to believe, but other "changes" were going on here... I like vegetables? What is that? Iam the kid who threw them behind the couch and would start crying if forced to eat them...and now I am going back for seconds, we are not talking about the weak stuff- I am eating it all including broccoli, the most hated of all. My mom would melt cheese on it to try toget me to eat this stuff only to find that I just sucked the cheese off and left the Green stuff behind. Now I love steamed and raw vegetables... Of course I still like a little Ranch on the raw and some salt and pepper when it is steamed, but I like having vegetables with every meal.

That's not the only change I have picked up. In the last year or so, I have started to read. Just add this to the list of things I thought I would never do. I would not read a book. I got through school on foot notes and relied on other people's help. If i was forced to read a text book, it was a painful drawn out thing and I would just skim the pages until I answered the question asked and move on to find the next answer. However, in my old age i am reading for fun. Yes... I just said something I would have made fun of myself for saying just 2 years ago. Now I have read 5 books in less then 2 years. I know that is not a lot to some, but all of the books I have read have been suggested because I have no idea how to go to a book store and pick out a book. The one book I did pick out for myself was Marley and Me. I enjoyed reading that book, because of my dog. The other books I enjoyed for various reasons. Maybe the suspence of what is going to happen, I guess. Its the same with this last book. I don't know why, but it took me some time to pick it up and start reading it. I am glad I did because it was really good. The book is called THE HUNGER GAMES. If you have not read the book I would suggest it to anyone and it looks like it is part of a series including another book titled Catching Fire. I think that will be the next book I read.

A Stuffed Chicken breast that works!!!!!

If you have ever tried to grill one of these DAMN chicken breast, you know how frustrating it can be to grill or cook because the stuffing always has cheese, herbs or something that makes them sound amazing and that is how people get tricked in to buying the stuffed chicken. I was a repeat offender on this and gave up on them thinking there was no possible way to cook them without losing all of the filling.
When we bought a magazine titled Cooking Light 65 top-rated recipes I had no idea that a old habit would be staring me in the face... Almond Stuffed chicken, with a creamy garlic herb cheese called "Boursin" and toasted almonds.
OK- so I love all of that and have a picture that shows it cooked and it looks great. I ask Amy if she thinks she would like it and she gives me the go ahead to make the chicken. Go figure... it worked... I cooked it in a cast iron skillet on med heat and 5 min on each side and they turned out well. All stuffing stayed in and was hot in the center. The only thing we think could make the recipe better is if we would have bought the non light "Boursin" cheese. But then again...that wouldn't be cooking light. All in all it was very good

P.S.
Amy thinks we Blog too much about food...but I say there is no such thing. You can find this recipe at

Out For Dinner

Amy And I have been trying to Save money for our wedding and just get a savings. That has been hard with me not having a job. So we cut back on things like going out to dinner, drinking. Plus on the wedding diet we are eating at home more.

When we got ask to go to dinner we jumped at the chance. We have been to this restaurant before. The first time we went Amy did not like What she had for dinner but the drinks she loved. I had order pork and it was great, So i really wanted to go back and give the Cajun place another shot.

This time Amy still liked there Drinks and for good reason they have a old fashion juicer that they make all the drinks with they only offer 2 beers Mickeys wide mouth bottles and Sessions. I went for a mixed drink. A Ginger Martini, It was great really spicy bye the time i had 2 drinks Amy was on her 4th and on her way. when it was time to order she did not know what to get so because she was talking. So Under pressure she ordered the famous Linguine with Rock Shrimp, i had The same with Catfish. It was really good and really spicy. we also had gator bites in a spicy sauce "tasted like Chicken" we could not finish are dinner, so we got it to go Amy received a Swan, and i got a crab. you see in the pictures above dinner was only $25.00 and came with corn bread tasty.
