Cherry rum batter…
Bela and I had some ideas for cupcake flavors after we tried the White Zombie coffee drink in Broken Bow Friday. We tried three new flavors: White Zombie (white chocolate and peanut butter chips), Captain Sparrow (cherry and rum), and the one Bela calls Hallelujah (peanut butter and coconut).
We went to several willing taste testers and the clear winner of the night was the Captain Sparrow.
Captain Sparrow….
Jersey (large grey cat on the left) and Lil Devil (yellow cat on the right) usually do not get along. Smokey looks on in shock.
The last time Bela and I went to the “city,” we made a stop by a wonderful book store—A to Z Books. We love it there because the store has a mellow resident cat (!) and used books as well as new ones. Bela was lucky enough to find a book she had read before and loved (obviously) and a new one to keep her busy. I found a book for a friend (that I had to read before mailing).
Bela loves books almost as much as I do.
I enjoyed this book so much!
The University of Florida has a wonderful free program for public school teachers. A teacher can request a suitcase, it gets mailed, the teacher displays the items for a week or so and returns it. The school pays to return it, but the benefits far outweigh the postage price.
Bela was still coughing pretty bad yesterday, so she stayed home while I went to target shoot. 😦 for Bela; 🙂 for me. The target seemed really far away, but I managed to hit it a few times anyway. Butch (our coach)was kind enough to let me waste some ammo. When I told Bela I got to shoot the Smith and Wesson, she was jealous.
I have a few things to cross off of my list; maybe then I can have some type of closure. I doubt it, but maybe. I have made some decisions, and that will be that.
You might remember that Bela and I received a Try the World box featuring Japanese foods. We have not yet tried everything, but Bela decided to try the seaweed and tea this weekend. The tea was a hit! The seaweed, however, was not. Sometimes we need to work up to trying new foods.
Post-seaweed face….
Fortunately, we have also found Panda cookies in North Platte stores…we are always willing to try cookies!
My Spanish 2 students had a cool assignment this week. They did a fashion show in Spanish. I would like them all to know that I think they did a great job!
I finally participated in a school dress up day. Teacher AJ had the idea of being happy trees, and we were. Other teachers were wearing paper trees, but our art teacher, KH, is amazing and drew our trees.
What would Bob Ross do?
I sure was glad to wake up this morning! I was having a really strange dream. The brain is an amazing tangle of synapses, and mine integrated some interesting items from my subconscious last night to form a frightening series of events.
For some unknown reason, I had been hired to sing some Spanish songs by Selena. Like that wasn’t odd enough, I found myself searching for a band to play for me. The concert was scheduled to begin in a few hours.
For you poor souls who don’t know which Selena I’m talking about, here’s a link!
