Don’t Vote Video

WOW! I had no idea that celebrities were so smart and we were so stupid! Gosh, and you’re right, I didn’t know that I had to register to vote, wow!This is the most insulting video about voting I’ve ever seen:

But seriously, you know you gotta vote, right?

pondering life’s big questions

Do you really get a free Tootsie Roll POP when you get the Indian shooting the star?

I’ve always wondered that.

photo a day – 9

I think I’ll start naming my “photo a day”s from now on…I think they need titles 🙂

Port comes from Porto (in Portugal). Don’t know why I never put that one together but anyway, it’s good! It’s a wonderfully sweet dessert wine. I like to drink it out of these little crystal glasses my Oma (grandma) gave me…makes me feel like we’re classy, at least a little bit.

Recipe – 1 German Apple Pancake

I found this recipe in Cooking Light Magazine and tried it out last Sunday morning. It was pretty yummy!

Batter:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup eggs (3-4)
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Apple Mixture:
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup thinly sliced Granny Smith apple

1 Tbsp. powdered sugar (for top when finished)

1. To prepare batter, combine flour, baking powder, 1 Tbsp. sugar, salt, and nutmeg into medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add egg. Let stand 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven 425 degrees

3. Coat sides of 10-inch oven proof skillet with cooking spray. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; sprinkle evenly over bottom and sides of pan. Arrange apple in an even spoke like layer in pan. Sprinkle apple with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat 8 minutes or until mixture bubbles. Slowly pour batter over apple mixture.

4. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 (do not remove pancake from oven); bake an additional 13 minutes or until center is set. Carefully loosen pancake with a spatula and slide onto a serving platter. Sift powdered sugar over top. Cut into 6 wedges; serve immediately.

Photo a day – 7 and 8


Dr. Mario…definitely our favorite video game right now. I don’t play video games but jared downloaded this for our Wii a couple months ago and I hadn’t played it in years! It turned out that I remembered how to play it and I was pretty good. It’s the only game I can beat him at!! Well, at least I thought I was good until I played Lindsayand she is impressively, no, freakishly good at it..yikes girl! Anyway, Laura and I are probably a better match. 

Do you like our mii characters? They look just like us!

So I’m adding one photo as an addendum to the photo a day 3 just to prove how often this happens. This happened today and I can say I’ve never seen my name spelled with a “u” before! The lady calling out my name (not the same person who wrote it) couldn’t figure out what it said, I just started laughing!

Photo a day – 6


Perhaps one day I’ll have a coy pond…but sometimes I think, what would be the point.
To be honest, if they didn’t throw crap all over the place, I would really like to have a monkey for a pet…
If there were no limitations, which animal would you have for a pet?
