In Search of a Philly Cheesesteak

So my Mom Curtis and I were watching Throw Down with Bobby Flay on the Food Network last night and they did the most mouth watering looking cheesesteaks. (My mouth still watering) so I am on a search for the best Philly Cheesesteak in Washington County. This is where your help comes in, if you know of a great sandwich shop or where I could find a great cheesesteak...please help me out and let me know. I am afraid my mouth won't stop watering until I am satisfied. Thanks!!! And I will keep you posted on what I find or what I don't find.

Halloween 2008

Halloween was great this year, the boy got creative with his costume and Hannah did a retake of last years. We went to school and watched Hannah and Savie in their parade, we went to our Ward's trunk or treat, then to the community center and stopped by Pine Valley Townhomes on our way home. We then had a dump your candy and separate party at our house ( And they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, Tyler) Blake made a HAUL, remember Korie when we were 13 and we were on a mission to fill the pillowcases? It was fun, thanks Kacie and Tyler for hanging out.

Our Sweet toothless Queen
I think the favorite part for Hannah was the make up, she was late for class on Friday morning so she ran across the playground holding her dress up like it was the stroke of midnight, it was so cute.
Hannah waving to all of her fans. I still love the no teeth. This is the school parade. And then there was Candy, this is ALL Blake's. Can you see Demie is the background, in Hannah's Queen shoes. And thanks Brother Dye for the whole box of cookies.Here is Blake's Candy store or I mean Secret Stash. I hope Hannah does not read this or the secret will be out!

An Expected Find

Just thought I would share an expected find at The Target Cafe...a delicious salad. It had just been made and put into the refrigerator case. It was made with a green leaf lettuce, a romaine maybe, with Dried Cranberries not the little ones, but the full cranberry dried, with cubed chicken and fabulous gouda cheese (I think) it was very moist and melted right in your mouth. With a candied nut to add the perfect crunch. It had a creamy poppyseed dressing that comes on the side. It has the perfect flavor combination between tart, sweet, salty and I loved the crunch. And honestly I could do without the chicken just fine. It cost $4 and it is the perfect portion size not too small and too large where you have the bottom full of lettuce when you are finished. It is perfect for a healthy lunch. (After you finish their popcorn of course)

Grow Up Already

Those of you that don't know me very well, I love food. I love to eat it describe it, try it and I have always wanted to critique it. A "Food Conessiuer" if you will. (Sorry my spell check is not recognizing that word and does not want to spell it right for me.) So what better way to live my dream that right here on my blog. So look for future blogs on food that I have tried and restaurant's that I have visited. And oh ya I am big on customer service, but I am also big on not putting anyone down so I will try to focus on the positive. And let me know if there is something or somewhere you would like me to try. And don't forget about the chocolate of course.

I really tried to Avoid!

15 Years Together!

Fifteen years ago today was a Saturday and I saw Coby at a dance and started to chat with him to try to avoid someone else. ( It was no sweat off my back because I always thought he was hot) We were talking for awhile and finally a slow song came on and I think he felt obligated to ask me to dance, so Guns n Roses' "November Rain" was our first dance. And for those of you that don't know it is like a ten minute song, so we had a long time to dance. We left the dance early together and stayed out until almost 5:00am. And the phrase that most people would say at this point is and the rest is history...not necessary always the case. Coby and I love each other more than than I can explain to people outside of us! We know each other, we know our weaknesses and we know our strength. Everyday we are learning more and more about each other, and it is not always roses that is for sure, but we are NOT willing to live without eachother...that is not an option. 15 years together, that is almost half of my life...here is to the rest of it.
