yesterday's meal

had me worried as I prepared it. It all started with the remoulade sauce. It was yellow. Yellow? It looked like a bowl of spicy mustard. I couldn't figure out why the coloring was off. Maybe it I put too much green onion in. Maybe it was that mayo w/ olive oil. Who knows, but I'm not going to let yellow remoulade get me down when I have steaks like these waiting.
mmm, 1 1/2 inch thick filet mignon. Randalls had it on sale so I had four cut for our lunch. I was pretty excited... until we cut into them. There was a lot of gristle. I guess it wasn't too bad but it's not really something I would expect to find at all. Maybe they weren't cut right. Maybe that's why they were on sale. Maybe I'll keep buying them from Kroger. It didn't matter. The meat had a good flavor, was a good medium-rare and we had cheesecake waiting.
mmm, the one Dodo always made. That's my favorite cheesecake. It didn't look right so I put it back in the oven for a few minutes. After it cooled, I put saran wrap over the top. UGH! I immediately realized what I'd done and pulled it off, which messed up the top of the cake. So I covered it with foil and put it in the refrigerator. What I thought would be another let down wasn't so bad. Hey, it might even be good for breakfast, I'll check it out.

Oh, we did have other things, not just sauce, steak and cheesecake. I boiled some shrimp and sliced some celery for our sauce. Our sides were asaparagus and roasted new potatoes. Then of course Sister Schubert's dinner rolls.

happy fathers day

Cosme with Eric. I like this one. It's typical Cosme and Eric.
Lloyd and Dad. There's some sort of something over Lloyd but it's still a cute picture.
Papaw and Mom. There was one I wanted to post and scanned it several times but it was too blurry. I think this one is cute too.
I like this one of Dad and me. It's so obvious I'm asking for something.
I left Lauren out on Mom's birthday so I dug and dug to find a picture for fathers day with her included. (Hey, I'm working on a limited supply here.) This was on the old cars at Astroworld, just my speed. What's up with all the theme park pictures? Wasn't there one a couple down?

still nothing...

Here's a couple from a while back. We were at Glenwood Cemetery. I played around with them so Eric would have something for myspace stuff.
I actually went out and tried to find something interesting today. I picked Dodo up and we drove around. After seeing a lot of nothing and as we were pulling back in to West Columbia, Dodo pointed at my camera and said, "You didn't do your camera". Maybe I'll try again later... or, maybe tomorrow I'll find something and be able to do my camera.

okay,

this is all I have. I think I need to get out tomorrow. I'll definitely get out tomorrow. "After all, tomorrow is another day."

i've been pretty

busy so I haven't really had time to write anything. I have been carrying my camera with me just about everywhere I go, but there's nothing to show for it. I promise though, I will find SOMETHING to post by the end of the day. If I don't have anything to say then I'll at least find a picture to post.

Now I have to finish making some potato salad.

over the weekend

we rode a few rides. First of all, as most know, I don't like rides. For some reason the roller coaster didn't look that bad when we got there so I bought a ticket. During the ride I quit screaming, clinched my teeth, endured all the banging around and swore I would never do it again. Eric likes rides as much as I do... yeah, we're tons of fun at amusement parks. Cosme, on the other hand, loves rides. This explains why he was the only one to get on the Drop Zone. See the pictures?
I'll let you figure out what happens next. Two seconds later he's back at our level and hanging on to his head. So, we headed over to the Cadillac Bar and had some fajitas. That was so much better than the roller coaster. See Eric in the next picture? I don't think he's fully recovered here. Three diet cokes and a serving of outside skirt later, he was much better.
Then we left.

still don't

have anything to talk about.

i don't have

anything to say but here's a picture.

happy birthday to

Mom. There was one picture I really wanted to post but decided not to... for the same reasons I didn't post any pictures of Cosme on his birthday. (Hey, I'm out to have fun but I don't want anyone getting mad at me.) In case anyone's wondering, it's not that I didn't want Lauren in any of the pictures but the ones I picked just happen to be before she was born.

why let a

good thing go? I suppose that's what Lee Majors thought. This morning I saw a commercial for the Lee Majors Bionic Hearing Aid. I thought it was part funny, part sad. What next?

my first try at

pasta. I liked the flavor but it was a little thick. I didn't use anything fancy to make it, just a wooden rolling pin and pizza cutter. I probably could have made it a little thinner but hey, that's a lot of elbow grease. I'll try it again for sure... sorry, Eric.

i sat with

Dodo the other day. I decided to go outside and see what the dogs were up to. Sarge didn't mind the camera. Shiner, on the other hand, was terrified. He wouldn't come close to me if I had the camera at my face.
Finally realizing I wasn't giving up, he went and hid in his cool, shady hole.
Sweet Pea is another story. She won't come to me for anything. She runs from everything.
Sweet Pea's face reminds of our old dog Buzz...but not those ears.
They've always reminded me of Piglet.
