Random Thoughts, Installment 2

Hi again!

Here are more ramblings...

1. I have sold ALL of my furniture. The only thing left in my apartment is a couch. Goodwill got some serious donations!

2. It is really, really hot here in Tulsa. It is actually hotter here than it is in Houston (thanks only to Hurricane Dolly).

3. My birthday is Sunday. I don't really feel like celebrating this year. 29 isn't that exciting:(

4. The "Big D" will be final on Monday. Everyone cross their fingers and wish me luck. I'll need it.

5. I'm nervous about my move. I only have 2 weeks left here.

6. I never made it to the Peach festival, sorry Deana! I'm going to have to settle for some non-local peaches for Deana's cobbler.

7. I love Honest Tea. If you like cold tea and you haven't had it, check it out. They are running a "Red, White and Green" special at Whole Foods. 12 bottles for 9.99 plus 10% off case discount. That's .83 a bottle. They also have hot tea bags which are delicious!

8. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

9. I may have perfected a recipe for Mexican White Cheese Dip. I have been testing tons of recipes. I think this is as close as it gets. Try it out!

1 pound WHITE american cheese (one pkg of slices is a pound)
4 oz pepper jack cheese
1.5 cups of WHOLE milk (trust me here)

Simmer milk until scalding. Slowly whisk in american cheese (I just stacked all the slices together and cut it into cubes or, if you can find it, they sell white american cheese by the block in the deli). After american cheese is melted, slowly whisk in pepper jack. It will thicken as it gets hotter.

Let me know what you think.

Aww, your moving? I'm sorry to hear that but glad that you are doing what you want/need to do!

I'm glad to see our boss was supportive too!

Keep in touch!

Sarah,
Yes, I will be. But not until the last week I am here (so I have something to sit on:)). Are you interested? It won't be terribly expensive, seeing that my dog practically lives on it (but we will be cleaning it first). Let me know and we can set up a time to talk about it!
