Onizim's

Tonight Prince C and I went to Onizim's here in Lexington. Casual Cajun food....Casual must mean "not spicy enough".

Here's my quick review of what we ate:

Deep Fried Banana Peppers = 7 out of 10. Perfectly fried, just tangy enough, served with cocktail sauce. I would have made sure to use Bookbinders cocktail sauce. It's the best. Has a ton of horseradish in it. It would've been great with these.

Enabelle's Salad with Spicy Bleu Cheese (house made dressing) = eh. 3 of 10. The salad was room temp and so was the dressing. Strange. There was no "spicy" about the spicy bleu cheese. Also, the salad consisted of field greens, 2 grape tomatoes, deep fried onion chips, and 2 half purple onion rings.

Chicken Gumbo = 9 of 10. I only had one tiny taste since I try to avoid meat with feet...but it was great. Well seasoned, tons of flavor, great.

Linguine Primavera = 7 of 10. Tasty, but nothing special. Stated it had a Jalapeno Basil Pesto which is what drew me in...I didn't taste that yumminess at all. Mushrooms seemed to be sprinkled in too too sparingly.

Side - Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes = 9 of 10. Super delish. Could've used a bit more sweetness...but overall, quite good.

Blackened Catfish and Jambalaya = 2 of 10. Prince C ate it....but it was miserable. No salt, no spice, pretty to look at but it ended there. Sad.

Side - Jambalaya Potatoes = 9 of 10. Great!

This place has the side dishes down. Soups too. I recommend it...but not overwhelmingly. It was good, not great. Edible, not mouthwatering.

xxoo,

Frootie!

Kid Free for 4 days

What are we going to do with our time??

Humph. Well, since we are dead broke we will do the same things as normal -- just more quietly.

Last night we went to the grocery store, rented red box, got some ice cream, and ate dinner on the couch. We rented Little Fockers. It was funny and uncomfortable and funny. Overall, I recommend it. Prince C saw a commercial for a wild berry parfait from Wendy's so we got one of those too. It was very tasty -- and very tiny. It was baby sized.

Tonight, we have another Red Box movie to watch and we'll have some sort of dinner at home. I really need to work on cleaning the house since we leave for vacation in 6 days! Maybe I should start packing too....

We were thinking maybe we could squeeze in a movie AT THE THEATRE!! But, we'll see.

I'll keep you posted on our wild lives.

xxoo,

Frootie!

July 4th!

About a week late...

Mexico

In 20 days we head to Mexico. We are staying at the Sabor Resort in Cozumel. I hope to have a great time and for time to move at the perfect speed. Not too fast, Not too slow (because I will be missing my Nori girl).

Things I need to do before we leave:

--Clean my house, so it won't be a disaster when we return

-- Figure out what to do with the dogs. Who wants to doggie sit?

--Buy Sunscreen, Bug Spray, and new sunglasses. I found some heart shaped ones on Fredflare.com

--Get a hair cut

--Get more tan so that I don't burn too back in the Mexican Sunshine!

xxoo,

Frootie!

2 more days

On Wednesday morning Prince C, Turkey, Nori, and I will get news we've been waiting on for months. I am so impatient, I can barely stand it. Thank goodness I am off work on Tuesday so we can go to the pool and make time fly by.

There's a 50/50 chance and all news is good news. Hot Dog or Hamburger?

xxoo,

Frootie!

A Quick Comparison

Today was Luke's birthday party.

Here is Nora at his party last year:

And here she was today, large and in charge:

She's growing up way too fast.

Confessions (stolen from Taryn)

Yesterday my friend Taryn posted this BLOG and now I am bumming her idea since I haven't had anything good to tell lately.

I confess: I am more than a little addicted to Facebook and Twitter.

I confess: I eat Chipotle way too much and could live on Mexican Food.

I confess: I am lazy. There is no better word. I have a messy house and about 4 loads of laundry to do but I would much rather watch HGTV.

I confess: I need a pedicure. Don't look at my feet.

I confess: I also need a hair cut. It's stringy.

I confess: I won't do either of those two things in a timely manner.

I confess: I have an interview on Tuesday at 11. I am freaked out. I need this job so bad I can't even explain to you how much I need and want the job.

I confess: I want to write a book. I have no writing skills.

All for now.

xxoo,

Frootie!
