Savory and refreshing Japanese food! Edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, ginger dressing, gyoza, sushi, terayaki salmon, hot tea, green tea mochi ice cream….Mmmmmm – this is the stuff dreams are made of!!! Our dinner was awesome. I may have more or less bullied Ted into taking me to Hibachi Master, but even Mr. Meat & Potatoes Wisconsin Cheese Man loved the food!
Watching classic Disney movies on…(gasp!) VHS! I know. VCR, VHS – what on Earth is that antiquated mumbo jumbo!? Sheer awesomeness, that’s what. You may have to look it up in the (gasp!) dictionary…that is if anyone still owns one.
The search for the new Aflac duck! I’m unshakably and positively convinced Ted would be perfect for it. He’s quite the impressive, and hilarious, voice artist. I’m trying my darnedest to get him to go here and submit a vocal audition. His angry “Aflac!” is amazing! He’d absolutely banish the competition!
Our findings at Jungle Jim’s. It’s less of a fabulous international market and more of an amusement park with grocery shopping. Their olive, cheese, beer & wine, candy, and bakery sections are mind blowing!
Jungle Jim's - an international food market with a pond, life size monkeys, giraffes and elephants, and a monorail ride that snakes around the building. And, you know, groceries.Freeze pops and color changing popcorn? Paradise. What can I say? Ted loves his peanuts.
Browsing through travel magazines at Borders with Ted and making a list of all the great U.S. cities, attractions, activities, and landmarks we’d like to visit on our eventual (it’s in the 5-year plan) U.S. road trip!
Seeing filmmaker and storm chaser Sean Casey (star of Discovery Channel’s Storm Chaser and the new OmniMax film Tornado Alley) and visiting the co-starring TIV II (Tornado Intercept Vehicle) at the Cincinnati Museum Center!
TIV driving down the streets of Cincinnati - hahaha, love it!TIV and the other two members of Sean Casey's filmmaking/storm chasing team arriving at CMCAll the adoring fans cheering on the TIV's arrivalJust hanging out with the tornado tankChecking out the revolutionary tornado chasing beastTed & TIV - the hydrolics and drills on this sucker are killer! Not to mention the steel frame and bullet-proof plexiglass windows.I would think this would go without saying, but...DUH. If I saw this on the road, I'd be on my way in the opposite direction pronto! A close up - after seeing Tornado Alley, I think even I (pansy extraordinaire!) would feel safe in this thing during a tornado.
Making this pizza from scratch for dinner!
Yes, it was as good as it looks. The best homemade pizzas aren't always circular - dough shape courtesy of our new rolling pin and my mad skills.
Pestering Ted until he finally agrees to be a guest blogger on our blog! :-)
You can easily store bricks of Mozzarella for 3-6 months in your
freezer. If you have a yogurt maker, then you
would simply follow the instructions that come with the machine, and if you do not have
one, then you can follow the following instructions:.
Try out different combinations of soup and grain dishes to create a quick family favorite.
