cafe rio/tasty tuesday horror story...

so i love cooking, it is hard cooking while working all day and trying to think of something cheap to cook, well i decided that i was going to make cafe rio, i have been craving it for months and finally i bought a crock pot so i could make it, i did everything that the recipe called for...yet my ranch sauce just did not work out...it tasted horrible, i went over the recipe again and again...well the next day i was talking to my sister on the phone, she informed me of my mistake...it says three cloves of garlic...what did i do?! 3 FULL garlics...it was the most horrible tasting thing on the face of this planet! that is my ranting and raving for the week on my mishap with tasty tuesday...

valentines day 2009!

so i am not as creative as my sister, or as my boyfriend, i am the copy cat...i cant come up with an original idea for gifts, and i can't seem to make a surprise work out. yet i keep getting surprised and loving it, call is selfish, call it whatever you want...but here are a couple of things that i was delighted to get this valentines day!!! (oh and amanda if you need more help with your mini love stories let me know!) i was shocked with tickets to cute is what we aim for...a HUGE flower arrangment, chocolate covered fortune cookies, and then a picture, it has song lyrics all over it and the center was designed by derrick! it has a bunch of african symbols and my kenya name on it! i love it! it matches my room perfectly and it is already up in my room!!! i loved this valentines day! we went to macaroni grill and just had a chill night!!!! i didn't even get sick (the first year ever i didn't get sick! sorry drew you had to get puked on twice...)oh and a lot of the pictures...well derrick didn't get much choice in having a photo shoot...so we pulled faces and started shooting away...aren't we attractive?!
