So, I think I am going to do it…Yes I am…I have been thinking about it for a while now…I have some extra cash put aside for just this occasion…I work hard and have reduced my debit load in the last year by about 40%...There are so many events coming up that this would truly make more special…I have been using the same one for over 30 years now…
Yes folks, I really believe I will be doing this in the next week or so…
Canon XSi - 12.2 megapixels of sheer photography power. I found a deal where I will also get 6 lenses (18mm-55mm; 75mm-300mm; 50mm; 500mm; wide angle, telephoto)- hard case, backpack case, 3pc filter kit; 2 - 16gb cards; card reader; full tripod; tabletop tripod; cleaning kit and screen protectors.
Will let you know if I actually pull the trigger on this baby…
Update: Yeah I know I said I was not going to do a lot of updates, but HECK-A-DOODLE…in contact with three caterers…picked the menu…now waiting on some quotes. Once that is settled, everything is pretty much ready except for selecting colors (that is NOT my chore!)…
Update 2: As some of you might remember, Matt was planning on going to a try-out for the Continental Baseball League in Texas. Well, the league has been in turmoil…losing three teams, then merging with another league to get to 8 teams, then having four of them leave. So the whole thing fell apart quickly.
He did have a try-out with the New Jersey Jackals last week, but he didn’t think anything would come out of it. He felt like the only players they actually were interested in were two pitchers.
He is staying positive and is continuing to look for other opportunities while he finishes up school. He is still working at the Baseball Academy and looks like he will be working at a local fitness center.
TURNBABY left a comment yesterday that read,
“What--no food??? I know you did some cooking!” – Well, Nancy and I did do some cooking, but again, I did not pull the camera out…I think with this new purchase, I will be more anxious to shoot when cooking…
So, what did we cook this weekend…
Friday we went to the local Japanese place with the boys for some Sushi and I had the Beef Teriyaki from the Hibachi table. And SAKI!!!! Yummo…
Saturday we grilled some Tilapia with a pineapple salsa… a recipe Nancy wanted to try and boy am I glad we did.
Sunday, we grilled some Filet Mignons which were in the freezer. I do love the
FOOD SAVER SYSTEM. We froze these puppies at least 3 months ago and they tasted like the day I trimmed and cut the whole tenderloin into steaks. Along with that we roasted some potato wedges in the oven that were coated with some olive oil and fresh rosemary. Finally, I grilled some Vidalia’s. I peel them, slice them in half and place a beef bullion cube on top, then wrap in aluminum foil and place on the grill from about a half hour.
What you end up with is the non-soup equivalent of French Onion Soup - put one on your steak and go to town!
On Memorial Day we cranked up the barbeque again and did a rack of Baby Back Ribs smothered in Uncle Stubbs Sauce and some gi-gundo chicken breasts which received a heaping slathering of Hunts barbeque sauce. We finished it off with some deliciously sweet corn on the cob.
Long weekend…way too much food…wonderful time spent with my angel…
