I have had the pleasure of helping our friend Marci with a concert that she is putting together on Friday November 12th!
It's going to be a wonderful night, Marci is so talented and has a wonderful voice, and the rest of the band are awesome too - it'll knock your socks off!

I Dragged The Gut
As an immigrant to the USA I am constantly finding things here in my new home that are new to me or are just different...
Dragging the Gut is one of those things that is unique to the USA and here in McMinnville it was outlawed in the mid-late 80's.
It was such a wonderful evening, we had a great time dragging the gut with our 1972 Suburban and our Victory... I can't wait for next year! :)

October Already
I can hardly believe it's October already - it's scary how quickly this year has flown past.
Yesterday it had been a year since I was granted my Green Card, hard to believe it had been a year already, but in some ways it was also hard to believe it had ONLY been a year... a lot has happened in the past year.
To celebrate we made a 'full English breakfast' meal for dinner, and I made a Red Velvet Cake for desert - since it's our green card birthday, we had to have cake... right?
Oh my word, that cake was so good... now I'm not saying that to blow my own trumpet, especially since I got the recipe from a blog I read all the time, but I'm saying it because it was... the ganache topping was so chocolaty and so rich that it was perfect... I hate to imagine the amount of calories in the tiny sliver of cake I ate.
Since it was so rich and there was so much of it we figured there was no way we'd get it finished while it was still in it's prime, so we cut two large chunks and brought them to our neighbours.
