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....

How has it really been THAT long...

I had no idea that it has been MONTHS since I posted last.  There are so many days when a blog idea strikes and the business of life takes over, thus the blog never happens. Maybe I'll add that to my 2016 plan.  Whatever 2015 was--I am determined to make 2016 a bit brighter, a bit lighter and a bit more mine.  I'm a living attempt to rework a lifestyle--to eat better, to plan healthier and to insert some exercise.  I hope to make more time for myself  to spend a bit more time doing what I enjoy whether it be taking pictures or cooking or writing.  I continue to dream of a horizon where I can watch a sunset, but until then, I'll keep on keeping on in the Midwest with an excess of trees, a lack of fine Mexican food and a shortage of good music and drink.
