Sole Sistas!

I know I have been a slacker with updating, but in my defense I have this big race this weekend! After that my life will be slightly less hectic!

This is a song that Jake is working on for our 'Sole Sistas' Ragnar team. Hopefully he will be able to do some vocals on this as well. I'm so pleased with this! Who else gets a theme song for a race?! We're spoiled!

I promise lots of pictures after the race! Wish us luck!

Thanks Jake. You rock!!

Fun Food Friday *Fish Tacos*

It's not Friday anymore. Where in the world does the time go?

I'm still going to do a recipe even if it is Monday. This is a great one to serve with Jake's Peach-Mango Salsa from last Friday's post. Don't let the name freak you out. I use Mahi, Ahi tuna or swordfish. These are all very mild fish, and if you are still leary, I guess you could use chicken.

Ok, the fish part is super easy so I'm not really going to go in depth. Get enough fish to feed your crowd, then use Lawrey's 30 Minute Mesquite Lime marinade (found at Albertson's) on the fish, marinate for 30 minutes (obviously) and then just grill it.

To serve them you will want to have small corn tortillas, shredded cabbage, cheese, salsa (best with Jake's), and maybe black beans and rice. Then you top with this Jalapeno sauce that I'm about to give you the recipe for. Ready? Here you go:

Jalapeno Sauce

• 1 & 3/4 cup mayo (I use light)
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 fresh jalapeno
• 2 Tb. white vinegar
• 1/4 tsp. pepper to taste
• 3/4 cup dried cilantro (I prefer fresh)
• salt to taste
• juice of one lime (opt.)

Blend in a blender and you're done!

Now if anyone tries these please let me know. I know there a lot of seafood haters out there! A few of you have tried these so tell everyone else how good they are!

Enjoy!

Happy Thought Thursday *New Look*

Instead of writing a post for today, I gave my page a makeover! Doesn't a makeover usually make you happy?! Me too! I hope you all like it.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Juicy Tidbit Tuesday *Issues With Shoes*

I'm almost ashamed to admit that this next 'tidbit' I'm about to share with you was not a one-time event. Just keep this in mind...

When we lived in Utah I worked part-time for my dad (the local butcher) at a grocery store and would also help him out in his garage during hunting season. (He has a cool little set up at his home garage for those of you who don't know him!) I worked for him on and off after I had Miranda, and I could dictate my own schedule which was really nice.

We lived about 25 minutes from the store and my parent's house, so on the days that he needed me to help him in the garage, I would go straight to their house from work.

During the holidays my dad needed me to work longer than my usual 4 hour shift. (dang!) There were a few weeks where it almost felt like I had a real job and schedule. I wasn't used to working that much and I felt like I was rushing around to get things done at home and at the store.

Tuesday was 'deli day' at the store, and I would stand in the aisle all day stocking meats, cheeses and all sorts of goodies. That's about the only time that I would have any interaction with customers. I was usually in the back of the store wrapping meat or doing other boring things. (no offense Dad!)

One Tuesday I worked almost a full eight hours stocking the shelves and building displays. I saw quite a few of my parent's friends and neighbors, and stopped to visit with them from time to time. (very small town) After work that day I followed my dad home to help work in the garage. I ate dinner with my parents and my dad's employee (also named Jake), and then we headed out into the garage for another 4 or 5 hours of work.

After a couple of hours out there, I had a break in the action so I boosted myself up on the counter to rest for a minute. As I was sitting there chatting with the guys, I happened to look down at my shoes and realized something. . .I had on two completely different tennis shoes.

I just busted up laughing! The shoes didn't even look alike! My dad and Jake made fun of me as well, but I had worked with them all day and they didn't notice either! And no, this was not the first or even second time that this had happened to me. But it was the last. . . so far!



The End.
