My First True Asheville Party

Today I went to my first "Asheville" party. Katie, a co-worker, through herself an amazing 30th birthday party. There were carnival sized inflatables, games, and crafts. Great music and food. Even a cotton candy machine. Matt and I learned how to spin the powder into actual cotton candy!

Sophie and Emma said this party was "the BEST ever...." And Sophie noted, "And Katie is an adult and still had the coolest party!

Costumes optional!

Sudoku

I actually finished not one, but two sudoku puzzles today! I always give up when I have about four squares complete. That is when my trouble begins. But I was determined to finish. My friend Karyn can do the puzzles in ink. I am sticking with pencil for a while. I think I may be hooked now.

Apple Cider Chicken

Tonight we had a meeting at A2C, where dinner was served. The entree was Apple Cider Chicken, something I have never heard of, let alone tasted. The dish consists of grilled chicken, sliced and tossed with cinnamon apples, cabbage and onions, served on a bed of linguine. Since I am currently not eating meat, I tried it sans the chicken. Very different taste. Not really ingredients I would chose to put together.

Ridin' the Bull


I broke down. I said I'd never do it, but I did.


I drank...a Red Bull!

I have never had the desire to try one of these energy drinks, but I was dragging and had to drive from Transylvania to Spruce Pine, one meeting to the next. I was sleepy on the mountain roads, so I stopped at a gas station to get something with caffeine. I drank a whole diet Red Bull.

I don't think I will be drinking one again. It tasted like watered down cough syrup! But I did wake up, a bit.

Boy Toys

I am a genius! 


Tonight, after two years, I figured out how to program the universal remote so we no longer need to have three remotes to command the TV, satellite, and DVD. Freedom!!!

The DirecTV installation service repair man couldn't even to it!

Allu Tikke



Tonight we grabbed some Indian food after buying yet another refrigerator. I took the opportunity to try a new Indian appetizer, allu tikke. If you like samosas, you will like these potatoes patties lightly spiced with ginger sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
