WOW! It’s 10 pm and I have finally sat down for the evening. What did we accomplish today? We left Lake Havasu City and headed for Blythe to see the Palo Verde Dam. A quick sit down at another Mexican resturaunt. BTW you can’t go 2 feet without seeing a local Mexican Resturaunt. Then to 310 to Yuma, ok not really we took interstate 8. Check in at the hotel and then a quick trip to the Imperial Dam. OH but to get there you had to drive throught the Yuma Proving Grounds. Awesome! Back to the hotel to clean up and then it’s dinner at Burgers and Beer. Oh . . . → Read More: Friday 5/22 what a busy day

Well getting here was no treat. Wednesday I waited patiently at KLT’s apartment packing, cleaning and prepping for our afternoon departure. It had apparently not been much of a good day for KLT and he was pretty much off line. At about 10 minutes till 4 or so I got really mad and called him. NOT GOOD! And of all times to be a line at luggage check in. I sent KLT ahead to get through security, I figure they’d hold the plane if one of us was there and not the other. I RAN through the airport and really wanted to KILL him. Oh well once again we made . . . → Read More: Thursday OH I know I have sat here before and told everyone that I am getting caught up and I am getting my groove back only to fail. But let me give you a few spoilers!!! This week I am working from home in Nashville. Wednesday evening we are jumping on a Southwest bound for Phoenix AZ. Thursday morning we <strike>steal</>get our car and head for Lake Havasu, Friday it’s off to Yuma, AZ, Saturday we return to Phoenix and fly out on Sunday returning to Nashville. Then on Tuesday I will depart for LAF all by my lonesome. 🙁 So this means there are going to be daily blog post, . . . → Read More: What’s coming up! With KLT living most of the time in Nashville cooking has just about come to a halt around here. Why cook for just me? Who wants to eat left overs for weeks on end? This has really lead me to research cooking for the purpose of preserving. Most importantly freezing. This has been a great adventure and at least I make an excuse to cook which is something I love and most importantly I actually eat. So Beef Veggie Soup sounded like a good idea to work in before the weather breaks and it becomes too warm for soup. I started with a large arm roast, yes it was . . . → Read More: Beef Vegetable Soup I am pretty sure that there are a couple of companies out there that just know how to pull my credit card out of my pocket and get me to hit check out. SanDisk knows the way to this girls hear OMG buy 3 SD cards, free shipping and mail in rebate. Earlier in 2008 SanDisk ran a sale on 4 gb cards, I bought 3 and got a $75 rebate. So honestly I am pretty set on SD cards I have 3-4gb cards, a 2 gb and 2- 1 gb cards. Wonder what happened when right before Christmas I got an email alerting me about a 3 card deal . . . → Read More: Product Review – SanDisk 8gb SD cards – OH HELL YEAH! Oh I am going to go ahead and post two post in one day because 1. this is funny 2. I am terribly behind and 3. it’s my blog and I said so. Last night around 6:30 pm I lost my connection to the outside world. OH NOES that can’t happen! KLT was on he phone and we worked through troubleshooting the DC, which had died. That didn’t solve my problem. After a good 30 minutes it was determined that Comcast was no longer giving me an IP address. 🙁 So I decide to run over to the neighbors and check to see if they are still connected to make . . . → Read More: a tale of internet tech support Well Deb over at Smitten Kitchen posted this Irish Carbomb Cup Cake recipe she had made these for a friend. Well KLT and I just LOVE IRISH CARBOMBS!!! So of course I have to make these cup cakes. Now I don’t want to ruin it for you but I was disappointed in the over all end product. The cake part is great, the ganache is really wonderful and the Baileys Irish Cream frosting is AWESOME! I just feel that the flavors are not evenly distributed enough. KLT however likes the hidden surprise of ganache. So what’s in store for Tammy? I have 2 thoughts on this matter 1) try to . . . → Read More: Irish Carbomb Cup Cakes I made a couple sleeves for my mammoth XPS laptop. One of those ended up to large and the other one is great. I really like them but I am still looking for a couple things. One is a sleeve with handles. I am still dreaming up that idea. But I had been wanting to make some sort of carrying device for Bella (that is the laptop’s name Bella Finestre – pretty windows). I had been working on an idea in my head for a couple weeks and this idea revolved around denim. I had been pondering sewing together scraps of denim including jeans, pockets and random pieces laying around . . . → Read More: Denim Skirt or is it? So the other night I was at a loss for something to make for dinner. I can’t make anything that would create left overs cause I am leaving for KBNA soon. So I decide I am gonna make some pasta and basically just throw some stuff in a pan. Now I do have an idea that I want to use pesto and the wonderful chicken asiago cheese and spinach sausage. I also am thinking about all the wonderful things I enjoy putting on my home made pizza. We start with the penne pasta, of course Barilla Pluswe want to be healthy. While that is underway I get a skillet . . . → Read More: Just throw stuff in a pan pasta dish Friday night between KLT getting off work and having to be back home to babysit some billing task we decided to run up to the closest mexica restaurant La Hacienda. They had a very large and complex menu which in my opinion is quite common for a Mexican joint. We were there just after 5 pm so we figured we could get in and out quickly and have good service. Well one of those two things did prove to be true. First I have to say that while the chairs chosen for this establishment were probably really cool looking they do not have the structure to be long term.
