i hope..

you all had a great mother's day! 

there is nothing better then having a mom who listens, cares, loves, and nurtures me no matter how old i get. i wish i lived closer to her.. but it just makes those times that i get to see her that much better. i love ya momma!

ilove iphone... again

we were the only ones there. so romantic.  

those eyes were so excited when they first saw the food.

tanner and i went out mickey rays tonight. it was deeeelish! he leaves for china tomorrow and will be gone for a little over a week. he wanted to eat somewhere completely opposite of chinese food so, bbq it was. i hate being without him and we've got a busy summer ahead of us. luckily, i will be with him.. the majority of the time :) i just can't get enough.

friday funny

this has me written allll over it.

food critic

i'm not a fan of ihop, but this double hot chocolate was gooooood!

i was sad that i ordered the wrong thing.. i really wanted their cinnamon roll french toast, but i accidentally ordered a cinna-stack. 

my life. 

when i'm with my family, the last thing i need to think about is food. that gets well taken care of. i was recently thinking that the best job in the world is a food critic. i was reading up about it because, seriously, i wanted to be one. there is a lot more to it than i thought, like, a lot of work goes into it.  it did point out that girls in general have more taste buds then boys and that explains a lot about mine and tanner's food preferences. i guess i'll just stick to eating my food instead of criticizing it :)

rollin the night away

i always tell myself not to try new dishes when i invite friends over for  dinner.. but i still do. sometimes they turn out really good, other times they don't. tan and i have been wanting to try homemade sushi so i watched a few youtube tutorials, grabbed some recipes online, and figured i knew what i was doing.

 wrong. 

i couldn't find any bamboo pads so we had to roll them by hand. i also used long rice which doesn't get very sticky. trying to fry them in tempura batter was funny. i substituted eel sauce with teriyaki, which was fine, but it had a slightly different taste. we used smoked salmon, crab salad and coconut shrimp as our fish. nothing raw. all in all, it all turned out good, thanks to everyone's help! it wasn't restaurant status, yet. but you just wait, we want to give it another try next week :) we topped off our japanese night with a very traditional chocolate chip cookie-reeses-brownie dessert. recipe found here. thanks drew and megan for bringing dumplings and edamame! a double thanks to megan for giving me a super sexy swimsuit! it's adorable and i can't wait to wear it!!
