Whopping Weasel Wednesday!


I think this one speaks for itself.

I'm still at the lake with the gang.

*sob* We leave tomorrow. It'll be nice to get home to my sweetie, though. He's usually the only thing I miss while I'm gone--that and my son, my own bed, my own shower, my own house, the cats, the dog, the horses. . .

You get the idea.

Tasty Argentinian Tuesday!


Donna's Argentine Lentil Stew
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes

"The flavors of paprika, apple, and a little barbeque sauce may seem an unlikely combination, but they work together well in this beloved lentil stew!"
Ingredients:
1 cup dry lentils
1 quart water
1 cube vegetable bouillon
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, diced
1 carrot, sliced
1 medium apple - peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 large clove garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Place the lentils and water in a large pot, and mix in the vegetable bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
2. Stir the tomatoes, onion, carrot, apple, peas, garlic, olive oil, barbeque sauce, and paprika into the pot. Continue to simmer 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

And what better to go with your Argentine stew than a hot Argentinian cowboy hunk? Saddle up and ride!

Monday Moonday!

Yesterday we went to the Opryland Hotel and walked around for a couple of hours. Fabulous place! I'm looking forward to staying there for the RWA Nationals in July. These pictures were taken in the Delta section of the hotel. I'd have taken more, but the batteries in my camera died. If anyone is ever in Nashville and wants to visit, you can park for free in section 6B at the mall and there's a paved path through to the hotel where you can wander around for free. There are some nice shops and restaurants there, not to mention some amazing scenery. We took a boat ride around the Delta waterway for $9 apiece, which was probably worth the price for the information, if nothing else. Beautiful place. Check it out if you get the chance.

We're leaving Nashville for the lake today. No bars, no hunky cowboys, just chillin' with the girls. We'll eat too much, drink too much, lay around like slugs and watch movies all day and into the night.

My kind of vacation. . . .

No internet there, though, so I won't be posting any comments until Thursday night. But you ladies know the drill.

HAVE FUN!!!!

Sunday's Hunk of the Day!

I hear from Donna that Lisa has the hots for this guy.

Not hard to understand why, is it?

May there be plenty of sun in your Sunday!

And, Donna, I'm sorry but. . . .


GO COLTS!







I'm blogging on Wickedly Romantic today. For more on the Nashville trip, come on over!

This one just goes to show that a guy can be hot and adorable, even with his pants on.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Nashville News!

Greetings from Music City! The hotel is lovely and the food last night at Demo's was fabulous. We're taking the Nash Trash Bus tour today. Should be a blast from what I hear. Haven't been to the Wildhorse Saloon yet, but I'm sure we'll get there at some point.

We're stocking up on goodies for the Super Bowl party on Sunday and generally having a great time. Just getting out of town for a while is a plus. No telling what mischief we'll get up to over the next couple of days, but I'll try to keep you posted!

Nashville or Bust!!!!

Well, blog partners, I've done packed up my guitar and left town, heading for Music City, USA. I'll probably post some blogs from Nashville, but if I don't, please forgive me for being AWOL for a while. I promise to post some hunks so you won't get lonely.

We're on the road today and should arrive sometime this afternoon. Doubt if we'll see Willie (or anyone else you've ever heard of), but you never know, do you? We saw John Anderson the last time we were in Legends Corner, but that was just luck. Woke me up though. Not sure why, but I was exhausted the whole time we were there last year. I recall walking around the Opry Mills Mall in a daze, stopping to get a massage from some oriental guys and then Terri and I went to the oxygen bar. I'm not sure it did anything remarkable for me, but it was worth the price only because I got to sit in a vibrating recliner while I was breathing in the fruity O2.

Later on that night, I came as close to falling asleep in a bar as I ever have (my buddies still insist that I WAS asleep) but I could hear what was going on, including the conversation that they were having about needing to go after the car to take me back to the hotel. I played dumb when I "awoke" about where they had gone. I mean, when someone walks several blocks (it was freakin' cold, too!) to get the car out of the parking garage, intending to pick your tired old bones up at the curb, wouldn't you let them????

Yes, the Cat Master can be devious when the need arises. I would have done better if the tequila had been the kind I like. A drink or two usually wakes me right up, but it has to taste good. Sad, but true. I'm not that much of a lush that I don't care about the flavor. I guess I need to carry a flask of Quervo Gold with me wherever I go and just ask for an empty glass. You think they'll get suspicious????

Anyway, I'm giving the blog over to you ladies this week. I'm sure Diva Donna will keep you in line. . . NOT!!!
Have fun!
