David's Video

Falling Down

Here is baby brother David, tempting fate, jumping out of a cessna.

In the plane, getting ready!

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! David is in the middle. Good form!

Minden, NV

Do you think he was wondering who packed his parachute at this point?

And the chute opens, phew!

Oh Brother!

As I type this, my little brother David is taking his first jump out of an airplane. Solo! Not tandem! He promises me pictures AND video, stay tuned.....

Bread Pudding Sabotage

Bread pudding made with ciabatta bread, drizzled in caramel-rum sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream. Forty five minutes on the treadmill should take care of this cheat.

Right?

And just for Theresa, here is my recipe:

About five cups of diced ciabatta bread
(I liked the ciabatta because its crusty enough to absorb and still keep texture)
six eggs
one can sweetened condensed milk
two cups sugar
two tsp vanilla
one cup raisins
one stick of butter
half a cup of rum or bourbon
cinnamon

I cut all the bread into small pieces. In my kitchen aid, I beat the eggs, half the can of condensed milk, vanilla, one cup of sugar, half the stick of butter (melted), and I put lots of cinnamon. You can do yours to taste, I like lots! I put the bread in a large shallow glass pan, sprinkled on all the raisins, and poured the egg mixture over the bread. I kind of pushed all the bread down a bit into the mixture, just to make sure it was all coated. I even sprinkled a little extra cinnamon and sugar on top. Bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes, until top is brown and toasty and bottom is set. While cooling, pour the rest of the condensed milk into a small pot, add last cup of sugar, rum or bourbon, and bring to boil while stirring, after about five minutes of boiling, add the other half of the butter stick. Let boil for about three or four more minutes while still stirring. Remove from heat. Let cool for just a few minutes, poor over a chunk of the bread pudding, add whipped cream and serve! Soooooo good.

Soup and Chocolate

New recipe day! Thai coconut chicken soup with lemon grass and baby bella mushrooms.









Dark chocolate cake mixed with cherry cream cheese frosting, dipped in milk and white chocolate. Bite sized. I was supposed to have them on lollypop sticks, but I couldn't find any.

Girls Night! Angel's Game!

It was a girls night out at Anaheim Stadium this evening. One of my bestest friends Desiree, her mom and I, went to an Angel's game. Desi's parents are season ticket holders. They were great seats. I haven't been to a game in a few years, I had lots of fun. Any day that ends with me eating cotton candy is bound to be a good one. Thanks to Desiree's mom for having me along!

Anaheim Stadium, my foot.

Matthew's Spring Sing

Today Matthew had a Spring Sing at school with all the other kindergarten classes. It was terribly cute. They sang all the songs they have learned this year, complete with hand motions.

The multi-purpose room was packed with parents.

Here's Matt with his fellow classmates.

Liam and Matthew. Best buddies.
