I'm not lost, but I should have been a rodeo queen

Yes, I should have been a rodeo queen.

Not a whole lot has happened to me since my last post. There have been a few Fern-ism's here and there, but nothing too remarkable off hand.

I've been keeping busy with stuff. Packing and readying myself for a move...well, it sucks. I have a moving crew. I have put a deposit down on said moving crew...1 bottle of Seagram's 7 and a 12-pack of Squirt.

Things I have learned since my last post:
  • I am not a fisherman
  • Newt has become addicted to riding in a car
  • Current phase: drinking water out of a glass
  • Lonesome Dove is a Classic (oh wait, I already knew that)
  • I am very Type-A...too Type-A for making Power Point Presentations
  • Children should not have fondant covered cakes for their first birthdays--the cake may be lovely, but its too hard to dive in
  • Ziploc Microwave Steam Bags are the new savior to corn on the cob
  • The new Lean Cuisine Breakfast Panini's are not good, they suck
  • That it is wonderful when an old friend comes back to you...the friendship is different, but its still a good feeling that they are back
  • Sometimes the people you look to the most disappoint you the most, but this can be countered by finding joy and inspiration in others perhaps forgotten or overlooked
I should have been a rodeo queen....don't ask I don't know!! I can assure you that I would have fabulously large hair, amazingly matte make up, wonderfully bright clothing, a tiara that glistened like a 1,006 stars, and pants on underneath my chaps! HA, got you...

I also discovered something amazing today....THE PIONEER WOMAN HAS LAUNCHED AN ALL RECIPE SITE...THE PIONEER WOMAN HAS LAUNCHED AN ALL RECIPE SITE... This is so exciting...I made the steak bites again the other night...delicious. Mom made the potato salad from her 4th of July posts and said that it was nothing less than amazing! The Web site is called Tasty Kitchen. Go there. Dive in. Be merry. Find another version of yourself! I have to admit that I haven't checked out more than the main page, but I couldn't wait to share the news!

King Ranch Chicken and Buttermilk Pie

I know that my goals over there read, blog at least 2x per week...still can't cross that one off of my list. Nor, can I cross off don't eat out for a week--eating is such a social activity. Maybe if I wasn't so social AND like eating so much, the number inside my jeans would be much smaller...that and beer is also a social activity...and I like beer and I am social...ANYWAY... My dear friend Brandi asked for pie baking lessons. We arranged an evening to make said pie. Flavor: Buttermilk. She did very well. We made crust from scratch, and she rolled it out herself. Although, she did get to use the Cuisinart to do the crust. I really wanted to make her use a fork or a pastry blender thingy. She wasn't so much a fan of scooping the lard, but ooooo lard makes such lovely crust. Prior to pie baking she asked for a list of ingredients. I said lard...blah, blah... and she said, Crisco? And, I said no...LARD. Lard makes such amazing crust, but that's another day....

Hodge Podge

A hodge podge of thoughts on a Wednesday: 1) My dad is the greatest...but of course I'm supposed to say this. I inherited many things that make me stunningly similar to this little round man, well little and round...there's two things for my list and the way I walk and talk and my hands and legs and feet...he has a kind heart, and I like to think that mine is from time to time, an appreciation for all things outside and good cows and stout horses, fine scotch and starched jeans...HOWEVER, I DID NOT INHERIT HIS PATIENCE, HIS EVER PRESENT FAITH THAT GOOD WILL ALWAYS COME, AND HIS CALM...nope, it's no where that I can find in myself. I do always feel better after I have a mental overflow and call him. How he hasn't choked me before now is a wonder Let's just say that there was a meltdown of momentous proportion this morning, but after a phone call with Tubby, the course (although still unknown) is a little smoother 2) Emotional eating is something that I have develo...
