Back to the show...

1. I am a Parrot Head and it all because of my older brother.  I even get the Coconut Telegraph.

2. I am a Foodie and like to read Cookbooks like others read novels.  I like to try new recipes and seem to always have the Food Network on.

3. I am currently on my 3rd Career and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  

4. I am an ESFJ (Extrovert, Sensing,Feeling, Judging) according to the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator. I took the test for a workshop and now know why I am nuts.  I would never of guessed me to be an "extrovert" hehehehehehehe!

5. I love coffee and uses to drink it with cream and sugar.  I switched to just sugar and then to straight black for a while.  Now I like it with just cream.  No matter what way I take it I have to have my coffee.

6. I consider myself extremely blessed every time I look at my boys.  I don't know what I did right but I am so glad they are mine.  That goes for my husband too.

Now for the fun part, I tag in no particular order:

Bernadette over at Baked By Beanie

Carrie over at Barely Controlled Chaos

Golightly over at A Little White Space

MGF over at Weapons Grade Moose drool

Sara over at Blah Blah Blog

Shelly over at Aperture of My Eye (I am tagging Shelly cause she need a little fire lit under her and I thought this could get her started)

There were other that I would love to tag but I was trying to follow the rules (that's part of my ESFJ personality).

Best Shot Monday

I originally was attempting to focus on my nephew but then the fence keep getting in focus.  I took the shot thinking it may come out pretty neat.  I am glad I did, I think this was the best shot of the weekend.

For more best shots, head on over to Mother May I and see what every one else has to share!

P.S.   GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!

SOOC Saturday

I don't usually post on the weekends but I wanted to post this picture and SOOC Saturday seem so appropriate.  I was over at Baked by Beanie's this morning taking some pictures of a very yummy cake.  I can never resist the temptation to take pictures of the kids either.  I was sitting on the floor and Francesco went over to the door and I captured this.  It is SOOC.  I had it on Aperture priority, no flash, ISO 200, f/1.8, shutter speed 1/125 sec with my 50 mm prime lens.  Now I need to remember these setting.

I get so excited about having nice pictures that I didn't have to use the auto setting for.

Head over to Slurping Life for more SOOC's.

Theme Thursday: Storyteller

Francesco is completely enthralled with his trains. He talks not stop to Nicolò all the while telling him some kind of story. The one thing I can make out is that on occasion he cups his hand at his mouth and yells, "All a board!". He then tells Nicolò, "you say choo, choo!" Nicolò must do something right cause he then get a nice wet kiss on the check. Just too cute for words!

Head over to the The Land of K. A for more Theme Thursday

What an A'Fare!

In the mists of my super busy, hectics life there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I spent 1 hour and 18 mins preparing 12 meals for my family today!  I went to a place called The Dinner A'Fare today and had a great time.  Thanks to my friend over at Baked by Beanie, who told me about his place.  

I had a really nice time. I met 4 new friends and prepare all the meals for "weeknight" dinners for at least two weeks.  Why I did not think of this before is beyond me.

Tonight we had the Pretzel Crusted Pork Tenderloin, I paired that with a white and wild rice medley and steamed peas.  Sound absolutely delicious, doesn't it?

Well, I thought so.  The meat was so fresh and tender.  It was easy to get in the oven (all the prep was complete).  When I asked G what he thought I got... " I am still trying to figure out what the pretzel are for."

Lamb of God! (that's another story)

Do any of you have a husband that is a cutlet junkie?  I swear if it is not a breaded cutlet and any meat fried in oil my husband isn't "sure" if he likes it.  He is just a larger version of a toddler who will only eat chicken nuggets.  I mean come on it was a nice pork tenderloin the was cooked (in my opinion) to perfection and all I got was... "It's fine."

I swear I hate the saying "It's fine".  You would think this would be sufficient for me but it is not.  I think it has undertones of  "I HATE IT", I could be wrong.  Would it kill him to just throw me a bone and say..."this is great, you did a good job sweetheart" ?

I am not saying that if something is disgusting and inedible he should say that, but if he would eat it again than yes, throw me the rawhide baby!

It may just be that we are only going on our 3rd year of marriage and the "training" is yet to be complete.

My goal for the coming year will be to get my dear, sweet, loving, husband to know when to embellish the truth just enough for his overworked, under payed, tired wife feels like she did good!

BTW- I really liked it and have already signed up for another session.  Looks like hubby will have to go through cutlet withdrawal.  *grin*
