The Return of Master Flash's Garlic Guru Burger


Last night I cooked dinner for my parents and Ty. I cooked my awesome Garlic Guru Burgers and homemade french fries. I think they were a hit. When you put them on a bun you can't get your mouth over them. They are even fantastic with out a bun and you really don't need much condiments either. My dad and I cooked these french fries once camping this summer and they were incredible. I can't wait to try them with sweet potatoes. The burgers look like there are fried eggs on top of them haha! I used swiss and cheddar cheeses this time. Gouda cheese makes these even more mouth watering. Make sure your onion isn't too green or they will be hard to bite into. You can use any onion, yellow, white or red. We've tried them all.

Over the Weekend

We had one busy weekend.

Filled mostly with loads of laundry that I took to my parents house Saturday morning. My mom asked me if we were secretly moving in because I had SO much to do. "Moving back in with you mom? Ummm...how can I say this nicely? Nope."

We made a big financial decision. Now hopefully we can move on to better things.

I got the cutest coat. Made possible by clever bargaining between my mother and I.

Frederick discovered goats.

Had a great time just hanging out with the family. We even went to church with them on Sunday and I didn't have the urge to shove pencils in my ears.

Met Tila (I have no idea if I spelled that correctly). She is the new member of our extended family, She-she and Deebo's baby Chihuahua. She is so tiny and so sweet.

A fun thing we did was go to the Bijou Market. It was nice to see the creations in person by the people of whom blogs I stalk. Someday I may dare to have my own booth, emphasis on the may.

Love my mommy!

Lucky to have a fabulous M.I.L.

Mother In-Law's Birthday.

Tyrone and I spent Friday night with her to celebrate her birthday.

I made her a cell phone cozie (which I hope to be selling soon) and a little bracelet.

We watched old episodes of Mad TV and cooked some cheap ribeye steaks.

She doesn't look a day over 25.


I can't get over how she is looking at Ty in this pic.
They have the same cheek bones.

Her and I share a love of purple and teal/turquoise.

You.

There’s one thing I ask of You.

Don’t lose You.

It’s devastating to let You go.

More than anything I hope You know.

I love You.

Be free from the darkness.

That has a hand on You in this mess.

I will fight to the death.

For You.

And not just because I love You.

Scariest Halloween Ever

I wish I could tell you that I have this awesome, lovely, wonderfully creative Halloween post to share with you but I would be lying.

If you know me you know that I. DON’T. DO. FAKE.

I am also not going to go into any details of what our Halloween was like either.

It sucked. Let‘s just leave it at that. We did however get some pictures. I’ll leave it to you to decide if they are good or not.

I’d love to brag about my awesome costume and the hard work I put into it but it all doesn’t matter now. The horribly deep depression that has set in on my family’s life has now sunk into a black whole some place where it never stops snowing and frost bite is as common as a yeast infection. And the only thing on T.V. is The Hills and it is on EVERY channel – playing the same episode over and over again. You know the one where Spencer and Heidi pretend to get married?

But I am thankful to be breathing. I suppose.

How was that for a performance? I can be quite the drama queen.



Halloween morning
Frederick and I were goofing around. He was being his usual needy self so I decided to take pictures.
There are a ton more of these.
My friend Jamie and I were the only ones who dressed up at work the day before Halloween. We obviously are the only cool ones who exist. She was a dead Miss Scranton Rodeo Queen.

Ringmaster Flash 2009
I'm kind of sad this is the only picture I got of my costume but oh well.
Maybe I'll do the same thing next year.

I made this hat out of a styrofoam cup and felt.
I am pretty impressed with it because it survived a stomping - Don't Ask.

She-she and Dillen Colt and some nerd hanging out in the back.

Tyrone the Viking Princess

The hat got passed around through out the evening. Do you love my double chin?

Shelby the always classy pregnant lady
ok, ok she is not really pregnant.

My cute little lion.
This actually lasted a lot longer on him than I thought it would. He eventually kept getting his legs caught in the maine so I had to take it off. It did have some leg things that lasted all but 2 seconds.
Grandma Daisy with Hagen the pumpkin
Pickle and Snickers the other pumpkin

I'll go a head and leave you with this image of our lovely faces.
This pretty much sums up how the evening went.
