Started on a cooking contest kick about 6 years ago. It was to actually keep us busy and inside during a very cold ridden season. Only submitted about 4 total times.
However I did win once. So that is not bad, 25% winning stats. hahahaha Will have to post recipe to this later.
Anywho, on one of my cooking chat boards they spread the contest about giving an opinion on Pork.
Did you know that is less fatty than it was in 1991? Amazing about science.
It is actually very similar to chicken. Which makes everyone feel better eating the Pig.
So here was my submission. It is a drawing so only Lady Luck will let me know if I won the weekly price.
Hmmm...this did not allow cut and pasting...have a lot to learn about this blogging stuff.
Oops just learned Have to be in Edit Html mode.
This is a good tip my husband's MOM utilized.
She used to make Boston Butt or Pork Shoulder on the grill with Soy Sauce and Vinegar.
It is pretty dang good. So I make Pork Loin with the Monterey Seasoning. It is sooo good and if it is very similar to the fat content of chicken, then we are doing very good.

Movie Critique-- Source Code
Watched this recently and the worst part...spoiler here...is the end where you see the body of Jake Gellenhall. I probably spelled this incorrectly but oh well. Anyway it was like Next with Nicolas Cage. Love love love that man but back to the critique. Really you had sit thru the sequence of events at least 6 times and sometimes the same turnout and sometimes not. My question is where is this Source Code? How did they get him to it? What part did I miss? I studied computers and languages, there was no talk of this during the movie. Albiet, a fair movie, it was a bit confusing and entertainment was lacking and finally the twist was a weak. You could take your kids to this, but they would be bored and you would have been upset at the 8 dollar ticket and 6 dollar soda AND 6 dollar popcorn. All in all the best movies by far are the kids animated movies which is good because I have one. Then again we used to watch all the kids shows at 3-5, Dora, Sponge Bob, Proud Family, Kim Possible, etc but never ever ever got Teletubbies. from 5-7 More Sponge Bob, Pokemon, Bakugan, any type of hero show. From 7-9 we watch Chowder, so funny....Suite life on Deck etc, I am in the Band...not liking it but deal with it as something their songs are really funny, like the Nacho song and Good Luck Charlie. Did I mention have not watched my show on it subscribed night in months. All taped. Sometimes the show does not matter. I like to know what he is watching.
Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka
Whipped cream Vodka??? Ok that is like mashed potatoes with carmel...something seems off.
However there are amalgamations that do seem to work like chocolate and bacon, yes I won a $100 for this type of recipe or peanut butter and pepperoni. Or the most recent submission--- pepperoni, goat cheese and raspberry jam....your tastebuds never realized what hit them. Anywho...
How on Earth could they do this. Why I question Vodka makers after our neighbor in SC, the machine maker made 40 million on vodka I have been drinking since I was oh before the legal age, is beyond me. Maybe you know his work, he made Sweet Tea Vodka and the world have a few more alcoholics.
So I get some wine and the guy upsells me and I think hey interesting. Have not tried anything new in ETOH in a longgggg time. So I ask him. "really, like whipped cream?" and he then spouts that he just started working there, but heard it was good...So much for the frugal shrewed MOM that I think I am.
Off I go to check the web site. The new CEO is a woman and apparently pretty savy and man do they have a lot of flavors. Well it does taste like whipped cream but really what do you do with really sweet vodka, which is not exactly a liquor however if it was thicker it could be considered as such. The other reviews said one sip is good enough, unfortunately, you bought the bottle.
So now what? Will I take this into the bomb shelter withe the twinkies? There are about 100 recipies on their web site however some are repeats and most don't sound good.
Next time I am in the mood for sweetness in my Vodka I will go for Snickers Martini at the Steak place in Orlando where I kept crunching on the side of the glass I had to ask for another as I bit right thru it.

This blogging thing...
The last few days have been all about wrapping up...
Wrapping up Taxes
Wrapping up last year
Wrapping the year of the flood
Wrapping up Easter
Wrapping up time off
Wrapping up the Pillsbury Bake Off. Yes I had over 100 recipies, how many did I submit...yeah about 4. Time got away from me and I found Zuma.
So Now what am I going to do. Another FB friend is doing a blog on her new home. I thought...hey that would have been such a good idea to recollect what I have done to all our houses. The pen is mighter than the a strong mind. So I started to think...why not...this will be good. Perhaps make me a better writer...perhaps therapeutic like in anger management class...write it down...write it down...
So hopefully I will learn something.
Hopefully someone could learn something from it..
Either way, I plan to vent, critique, document my day and enjoy the time in my head and on paper.
Let's build something together. I love that! Thanks Lowes
