2.13--Ace's Pizza

Welcome to Ace's Pizza place, how can I help you?

All o' those years down in Alabama working in the pizza place, must have paid off!! (: I wonder if they will send some sort o' hitman up to find him and beat him to find out if he knows anything about the secret pizza recipes.

Back in the day...Brick Oven Days!

Sunday afternoon, I was feeling extremely sick, so my wonderful husband decided to make lunch for me so I didn't have to. He rolled out the dough all by himself. In the dough, he crumbled bacon and rolled it into the crust for me (since that is what I eat), then he put Italian Seasoning with a bunch o' other seasonings on the top. It turned out wonderful and very delicious. I told him that I was never making home-made pizza ever again. That was going to be his thing! Haha...and you know me...I just HAD to take a picture o' it!

Here's to having the hubby cook every night!!

THE END!!!

2.8--Fisher's House

Game Night
With Stephen, Steph, and Alisha!

We got to experience our very first Kinect game at the Fisher's house! Boy was it a fun time. I got lots o' pictures, and I'm pretty sure everybody enjoyed themselves. I had a very hard time loading the videos, so sorry there are no videos. Enjoy the pictures.

Ping-Pong I think...

Stephen was very pumped up!

Haha...that guy is funny looking...

Alisha's turn to play ping pong...

Girls are the carrot...we lost this round...


YAY...blue team!!


Alisha...I think with the javelin...


Maybe waving? Haha?


NICE throw!!


He grabs the javelin...


...takes it back for some power....


...and a TOSS...


This shows how far they threw it.



Happily married couple boxing couple...


Love Steph's fist o' furry!! (:


Stephen...VICTORIOUS!!


Round 2...FIGHT!


This just looks very awkward.


They were hard core boxing...

Me and my honey...enjoying a fun time.


Haha...LOVE Stephen's ghost face.


Miss Matched socks...just for Stephen...
I really hope that he was happy that I did this b/c it was VERY difficult for me to wear unmatched socks!


The girls...yup...we are cute!


...but tough too!


...and have pretty smiles...


Not quite ready for our Charlie's Angel pose.


Haha...we look tough, huh?


Yeah...this one's much better...


This picture makes me laugh!

I forget what we were going for in this picture.

Me and Alisha...so sweet!

What a great time to spend time with friends. Playing that Kinect was so much fun! I think we're down to play again any time! We really do have the best friends ever!! (:

THE END!!!

2.11--REAL Chinese

As you know we have had the chance to have some daughters. The most recent one, Shan, wanted to return the favor. So one evening, Shan, and her friends, Sammi and Lola came by to cook us REAL Chinese food. Mind you when you go to a Chinese restaurant here in America, it is not the same.

The girls brought everything they needed to make their dishes. But you can't just use different spices that we have here in America. So Shan brought spices and food from China!!! Here are some o' the spices the girls used.

Star Aniseed??
(Get it? It's in a star shape!)


They cook with a LOT o' different spices.
It's supposed to help your heath...and we know I need that.


Meat...this is from America! (:


Different spices (and wood).


A bag o' mushrooms...Haha...


A type o' a mushroom...but not a mushroom.


??


All sorts o' spices Shan brought from China.


Ginger...


Lots o' preparation...


Shan cut the meat all up...


Sammi made the soup...


The soup had to cook for a very long time.


Boiling the soup...Mmm...I love soup!!


Lola is such a cutie...


Working hard preparing the meal...


REAL Soy Sauce...from China!


The table all set...ready to eat!


土豆丝
"Tu dou si"
Potato Sticks.


泡椒牛肉
Pao Jiao Niu Rou
Beef with Picked Peppers.


It was good, can you tell?
(very spicy though.)


土豆烧排骨
"Tu Dou Shao Pai Gu"
Pork and Potatoes.


松茸木耳鸡汤
"Song Rong, Mu Er, Ji Tang"
Chicken Soup with Mushroom and Wood (agaric).


White Rice...


Ace a li'l unsure about the food...

Our other "daughter" had to leave before we were able to actually eat because she had to perform at the half-time show at Juniata College for the basketball game. She was on the step team...which is a really cool cause they make all sorts o' neat rhythms by snapping their hands, clapping, stopping their feet...you really have to see it to understand. It made me soo proud. So after we ate, we rushed up to watch Lola do her half time performance! She did great and we o' course cheered and clapped for her!! YAY, daughter!! (:

Lola and I... (:



The Step Team's Half-Time Show--Lola
I tried for days to load the video o' the step team dancing, but it wouldn't load right. I will keep working, but until then you will just have to look at the picture and envision them making all sorts o' rhythms. We have really valued the opportunity we've had to get to meet all o' our "daughters" and to learn more about their culture (which is oh so very interesting). Thanks again girls for the opportunity to teach me about your culture!

THE END!!!
