Happy Thanksgiving

2009-11-28T13:35:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Extended family and friends came and it was wonderful. We also celebrated Sarah's birthday with everyone. She was so excited for us to sing her happy birthday. (She has been waiting for it since Hubby's Birthday).

My Girls:

Sarah with her Birthday Gift from Grandma & Papa!

Is anybody out there?

2009-10-08T14:05:00.000-07:00

I was wondering if there were any readers out there who has read some of my blogs, and never wrote any comments. If so, put a bunch of marshmallows in your mouth and say " Darling Baby Bubby Bunny Bunka Boo". Actually, everybody try this. I was bored, and this is some funny entertainment to kill time.

Back to real issues, Amanda and I will once again be taking off to another blog event. It features some video game demos (hands on of course) and a movie preview. Be jealous people, very jealous. My two little girls will be coming with us on this trip, and I'm very excited.

Oh, I saw something earlier today, and although disgusting, it was equally interesting. A little boy popped a pimple, and ate it. Now now, before you get grossed out, I want you to think about this; " Is it more disgusting to eat a salty gift of gold from your nose, or a pimple. Let me know what you think about that. LMAO!!!

Zippity Doo Dah!!!

2009-10-03T12:37:00.001-07:00

WOW I think we have enough candy for the year and it is just the beginning of October. The Mrs. and I took the girls to DCA (Disneyland California Adventure) for the Halloween Trick or Treat bash. It was a lot of fun, and yes...there was a madness car ride that made me scream like a little girl! Kids had a great time, and overall was a great experience. If any one has a chance to head on down there, grab the kids and go! Just remember to buy lots of tooth paste this month. I recommend Crest Pro, since they hooked it up in our house hold, and made my mouth white from that sexy brown.

On the way home, we stopped at In N' Out for a burger, and it was as amazing as your mind is telling you. For those of you who don't live in Cali, you don't know what Heaven tastes like in the dome. 3 x 3's...AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! Celery sticks are cool I guess if you fly that way...

Oh , I want to give a shout out to the great and sexy blog momma Caryn, who I saw with her husband and son at DCA, and is going to have another baby. " Looking good girl!!!"

Roll over like the classic said...

Ok so the title makes absolutely no sense, and it has no relevance to what is being written. But thank you for even trying to figure it out. Kudos readers, kudos.

I just saw a few different versions of trailers about the new 2012 movie. Yikes!!! So if were really all doomed, I want to let everyone know that Diet Dr. Pepper really does taste like regular Dr. Pepper. Weird. Tomorrow is the day that the kids come with my wife and I to Disneyland's new trick or treat Halloween bash. Spooky you say? I'll tell you what's spooky; Mickey Mouse and Donald trying to be scary. I mean...wouldn't that jack with the kids minds??? Hope its fun and entertaining for the kids unlike other amusement parks that scare the living waffles out of people. Well, that is it for now. Stave it off from your favorite sushi chef, MOJO.

PRAYERS!!!

2009-09-30T13:24:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I come home from the gym, play with my kids, and call my mother to tell her I love her. I then make dinner for everybody, and sit down to watch my TV. Cheesy? Probably. Only this time, the typical thing that I see(some medical company trying to promote old people to "get it on" with some miracle pill) is missing. It was a news shot of a screaming little girl not knowing where her family went. I then learn that an earthquake struck near American Samoa creating a tsunami wave that wiped out homes and villages. How can the world ever complain about such silly issues when real disasters are going on like this. If you have some time to say a little prayer for these victims, do so.

On the lighter side of news, my friends and I were very bored the other day, and we happened to obtain some of those "magic blue pills" that I was talking about from the TV......Yeah, um... well,...they work. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, the question of the day is," if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"...

P.S., I keep hearing about the Blog Her stories and information. When will we have a Blog Him event? And even funnier to think, what would that entail????Snorkels and avocados???

AHHHH Yeah!!!

2009-09-28T10:32:00.000-07:00

Ok, so did everybody see the Simpsons, Family Guy, and Cleavland show season openers last night? I cant remember the last time I laughed that hard Sober!!! Well, back on track, the launch of the Euro Pro Ninja was great. What a great idea. For once I can see my self using a product such as this, and not just let it sit on the shelf like other models that are similar. Everything was wonderful, and the company took real good care of us. It was kind of a pain in the @#$ with all of the UN stuff going on in NY, however, it was a great experience overall. I just want to give a shout out to all the ladies (Amanda, Elizabeth, Casey, Kristin, Sky, and especially Sarah for reminding me how great Asians are!!!!)!!! Everyone made the trip that much better. I cannot hardly wait until the next blog event. Keep me posted, and I hit everyone up soon. PS, if anyone was wondering, I like grapes. Thank you.

Ok, its been a couple of days now and I think I have recoverd from the USC vs Washington game. If anybody asks me what happened, I wasnt in practice with the team, or watching game films with the coaches (lol). I am about to embark on yet another trip to New York. The thoughts of not being in Western New York with my friends in Gowanda are dwelling a little, however this trip should be really interesting in New York City. I will be traveling with my wife Amanda, and we will be learning about Euro-Pro products, including their new "Ninja Master Prep".

Euro-Pro, manufacturer of innovative home appliances that make daily life easier, is introducing the Ninja Master Prep, a powerful kitchen helper that will enable anyone to rule the kitchen. The Ninja Mater Prep transforms everyday ingredients into delectable drinks, snacks and meals with Ninja technology that turns chunks of ice into snow instantaneously and evenly chops an onion in seconds. Offering the speed and accuracy of professional grade products, the Master Prep can chop, blend, mince, dice or puree with refinement allowing for hassle-free entertaining or quick and delicious snacks.

The Master Prep’s Ninja Technology sets a new precedent in the kitchen appliance market by chopping food or blending drinks with a uniform consistency and without turning food into mush. With both a 48 oz. pitcher and 2-cup bowl that feature splash guards and slip resistant bottoms, this all-in-one versatile appliance takes the place of bulky food processors and blenders that are difficult to store and clean. Custom-fit storage lids and dishwasher-safe parts let the home cook move seamlessly from food prep to cleanup.

“Most blenders are unable to provide creamy, restaurant style frozen drinks,” says Mark Rosenzweig, CEO of Euro-Pro. “The Ninja Master Prep is one simple-to-use product that has a revolutionary ice crushing capability that allows you to do things that other appliances simply can’t match. It outperforms any other blender, mixer or combination appliance in the industry and best of all it is at an affordable price.”

The Ninja Technology has unique processing power for consistent cutting and ice-crushing action. Whether making fresh salsa, bread crumbs or frozen drinks, the quick-cutting blades and powerful interchangeable motor head allow for excellent results. Allowing users to quickly switch between the food processor bowl and blender pitcher, the ergonomic design with one touch pulsing creates an easy-to-use product.

The Ninja Master Prep has a retail price of $49.99 and will be available in select stores beginning in mid-September.

Make Lunch Time Fun Time: Back to School Tips from Sara Lee Deli

2009-09-04T15:49:00.000-07:00

Shape Up
Make a sandwich exciting by using cookie cutters to create different shapes. Use their favorite hobby or pastime as a guideline: for sports fans, make a football; for dog lovers, try a dog bone shape.

Stock Up on Favorites
Keep your family happy by having different deli meats on hand. Your kids will all be able to choose their favorite while getting the protein they need. Sara Lee® Fresh Ideas™ pre-sliced deli meats come in 14 different varieties in a convenient, pre-packaged container.

Keep it Cool
If you need to keep your lunch cool, try freezing juice boxes or reusable bottled waters instead of adding bulky ice packs. The boxes or bottles will thaw to provide a refreshing beverage and keep the sandwich fresh.

Get the Kids Involved
Instead of making lunch ahead of time, pack deli meats along with some cheese and crackers. Kids are more likely to eat what they help prepare, and they’ll have a great time stacking the ingredients to their liking during lunch time.

Here’s a great recipe to jazz up the everyday ham and cheese sandwich into a sushi inspired meal:

Sara Lee Deli Kid Sushi Ingredients
2 slices Sara Lee® Fresh Ideas pre-sliced Honey Ham
2 strips Sara Lee® Swiss Cheese, thinly sliced, cut 2” x ¼”
2 slices Sara Lee® Soft and Smooth™ Made with Whole Grain White Bread
1 teaspoon ranch dressing
1 tablespoon thinly shredded carrots
2 sweet baby pickles

Method
Place two slices of white bread with the crusts cut off on a flat surface side-by-side. Using a rolling pin, or glass, gently flatten and fuse the bread slices together. Spread the ranch dressing over the inside middle of the flat bread slices. Place two slices of the ham on top of the ranch dressing. Place the shredded carrots and Swiss cheese on top of the ham. Place the two pickles horizontally and end-to-end at the bread edge closest to you. Starting at the bottom, roll the bread upwards to make a tight cigar-shaped roll. Using a bread knife, cut the roll into sushi-sized pieces approx one inch in length.

Option: Serve on a bed of mixed field greens with chop sticks and extra ranch dressing for dipping.

No Peek Waffle Maker by Calphalon

2009-08-24T15:52:00.000-07:00

My famly and I are in love with the No Peek Waffle Maker by Calphalon.

Why deny that craving for waffles when the Calphalon No Peek Waffle Maker makes it so easy to bake up a batch of Belgians? Pour in your batter, close the cover of the waffle maker and set the shade selector for light, medium or dark. Our exclusive lighted No Peek progress indicator lets you know exactly how brown your waffle is getting. Heavy gauge cast aluminum plates distribute heat evenly while internal sensors maintain precise temperature control for consistent results every time. What's more, the waffle maker's high performance bronze nonstick cooking surface releases cooked waffles flawlessly and cleans up with a simple wipe of a damp cloth.

Features:

Features the OPTI-HEAT system for premium heating performance and even heat delivery.
High performance bronze nonstick for excellent release and easy clean-up
Illuminated No Peek progress indicator shows you at a glance where you are in the cooking process
Bakes four extra-large deep pocket Belgian waffles at a time
Features shade selector for light, medium or dark waffles
Heavy-gauge cast aluminum plates minimize hot spots
Stores flat or upright
Auto-off feature conserves electricity

What I love about the No Peek Waffle Maker is that it is very to use. Plug it in, set it to the setting you want, put in the batter and then wait for it to beep at you when it's done.

wallah your done!

This is what happens when you put too much batter in the Waffle Maker

Smile......

2009-07-31T21:46:00.001-07:00

I'm singing this in my head.. over and over....

Smile by Nat King Cole

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When
there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and
sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through
for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on
trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still
worthwhile
If you just smile

Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

It's been a while!

I know it has been a while since I posted. Things have gotten busy around here, with work. The girls and their activities and trying to be as supportive as I can for Amanda.

Amanda just came back from BlogHer where she was gone for a week and although I know she had a blast I can tell it really put a lot of strain on her emotionally. I guess things didn't go how she wanted them too. But I have made sure to take extra special care of her.

she did send me some pictures of her and her friend Tanya. This one made me laugh.

Simplistic and practical, its innovativeness opens up possibilities, but still can replace any normal blanket.

All blue Slankets will raise money for H2O AFRICA. Green, brown, and grey Slankets will help contribute to the NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL. The lavender, ruby wine, and apricot will accumulate funds for the BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION.

Alanis Morrissette Flavors of Entanglement

2008-06-23T17:12:00.000-07:00

I've been a fan of Alanis Morrissette since her CD Jagged Little Pill came out. I know I am a man, but still She does have some pretty good songs.

The new Alanis Morrissette CD called Flavors of Entanglement was released on June 10th! You can buy it online at Amazon.com.
Or on her site here.

My wife received the new CD last week and she wont stop playing it, so of course I have been stuck lsitening to it over and over again. I do like it so it isn't a big deal.

If your an Alanis fan, then be sure to pick up the new album!

You can also watch the music video online HERE.

My Wife Rocks!

2008-03-17T13:44:00.000-07:00

Amanda and I recently received some really cool t-shirts from From*me Tees . It's neat to wear a shirt that expresses the way I feel about my wife. The men's t shirts are very comfortable and come in styles that aren't "girlie" They have a masculine feel to them so I don't have a problem wearing the shirt out. Plus I know Amanda loves me wearing the shirt. It's pretty much an outward symbol of how I feel for her. Plus she likes the fact it's a blatant way to say "I'm taken" Now, she is trying to convince me to wear this shirt at work. I'm a sushi chef so of course she wants me to wear it.

From*me Tees' Mission:
To enhance marriage relationships, communicate a positive image of marriage, and encourage/support the sanctity of the marriage covenant between a man and a woman in a fun and stylish way.

So here is Amanda and I, and of course me being myself.

Right now you can get a two dollar discount at time of purchase. As a referred customer from my blog you would need to submit a *Shout Out about your spouse and mention my blog in order to receive a $2/item discount which would be refunded at time of processing/shipping. The $2/item discount will be given via a refund at the time an order is processed and shipped. The discount will be applied as a refund to whatever payment source was used by the customer.

Here are the instructions for *Shout Outs:
In a brief sentence or two, tell us why your spouse rocks! We will choose from entries submitted to be placed on the Shout Outs page of the From*me Tees website from time to time. Send your Shout Out to info@frommetees.com and put "Shout Out" in the subject. We will include only the first names of you and your spouse. (Example: "My husband makes the best French toast and every Saturday morning he relieves me of breakfast duty!" to Brian, from Jenny)

Now go and get a "My Wife Rocks" tee and show her how much you love her!
